Saturday starts of slow and breezy thanks to the new storm front pushing through the region and most leftover swell in the water through the early part of the day. Really it will probably be a better morning to surf the pillow for a little longer. Expect S-SW winds 10-15 knots with some 20 knot gusts and more rain/thunderstorms and other nonsense.
By Saturday afternoon a new W-NW swell (275-300) starts to arrive and come up fast…though conditions still look pretty crappy. I expect that the average WNW-NW facing spots will be in the shoulder-head high+ range by the end of the day…standout NW facing spots will have more consistent overhead surf.
Sunday the W-NW’er will peak and winds will back down shifting more to the WNW-NW and holding around 10-15 knots for the morning. The surf will be solid in the head high to overhead+ range for most of the average spots (and the good spots in North County) and sets going a few feet overhead to nearly double-overhead and bigger at the WNW-NW facing standouts down through South County.
The tide is still pretty high in the morning but there will be a lot of energy rolling around and it will have a good shot at breaking through the extra water. Even with the winds there should be enough waves and swell that the more protected breaks will work and will probably be cleaner since they don’t have as much exposure to the wind and chunkiness of the swell.

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Friday - 2/26/2010
Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
The mix of WNW-NW swell (280-300) and background, but still fun, SW swell (190-215) will hold/slowly fade on Friday. The WNW-NW swell will be a bit shadowed for North County but the SW swell will show ok (but might get lost in the NW energy) throughout most of the region.
North County will see surf in the chest-shoulder high range with some shoulder-head high sets showing at the best WNW-NW facing breaks. South County spots will be bigger…running more in the shoulder-overhead range with some sets going a couple of feet overhead as the tide drops off a bit. Shape will be pretty swampy through the dawn patrol so try and pick breaks that can handle a little extra water.
Winds will be light and variable through the morning. Look for building S-SE winds to fill in around midday and then continuing to strengthen by the afternoon/evening. It looks like the heavy winds and rain will push in late after midnight and hold through Saturday.

Winds/Weather not looking great tomorrow but it does look like it might be semi-manageable in the morning. General forecasts are calling for light/variable to a variable/westerly onshore flow around 10-knots in the morning. Hopefully this means that we will see cleaner conditions around dawn and then slowly building WNW-NW winds for midday into the afternoon, but keep in mind that there might be some texture/bump showing at a few areas. Look for NW winds 10-15+ knots on tap by the afternoon.

The leftover WNW-NW swell (280-300) and background SW swell will hold into Wednesday (well maybe a touch smaller than Tuesday). High tide will slow things down quite a bit through the morning.
North County breaks will average in the knee-waist high range…maybe a little bigger at the better combo breaks that can pull in some decent energy from both directions.
Standout NW facing breaks and excellent combo spots in South County will be in the waist-chest high range…with a few bigger near shoulder-head high sets showing through the lower tides. Look for a bit of increase in size and consistency late in the day but don’t count on conditions holding together.
Clean conditions on tap for the morning with mostly light offshore winds for the county and a few pockets of light and variable flow at the more protected spots. Look for SW-W winds around 10-15 knots by the afternoon. Increasing clouds and a chance for rain late in the day.

San Diego Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 2/20-2/21/2010
Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
New W swell starts to fill in late on Friday night and will continue to increase through Saturday morning…eventually peaking late Saturday and on into Sunday. Most of the weekend looks pretty sloppy but there may be a little window of surfy time showing early on Saturday morning.
At this point it looks like shoulder-high+ with some bigger sets starting to show through Saturday morning. At the swell peaks look for the average W facing breaks, and really most of North County, to be in the shoulder-head high range with some inconsistent overhead+ sets mixing. The standout WNW-NW facing spots will see consistent overhead surf with sets going several feet overhead…and even a little bigger down through South SD. Look for these waves to hold into early Sunday but then start to lose a little energy as we head into Sunday afternoon.
Saturday morning winds are forecast to be semi-onshore…but the models aren’t really all that certain. There is a chance that we will have light onshore S winds early in the morning, so there may be a few pockets of cleaner conditions at the protected spots. Look for W winds 10-20+ knots to develop by Saturday afternoon and hold through most of Sunday. It will be raining both days

Mostly weak waves on Friday morning…average spots holding around knee-waist high+ with a few waist-chest high sets sneaking into the top spots. The standout WNW/SW combo breaks, mostly through South County, will be more consistently in the knee-chest high range with some chest-shoulder high sets sneaking through at times. Even though the tide isn’t that high it will slow things down, try and surf before it fills in too much.
Winds will be S-SE around 8-12 knots for the morning and it looks like scattered showers moving in as we move throughout the day. Look for SW wind around 10-20 knots by the afternoon and periods of heavy rain.

The WNW-NW swell will continue to back down on Thursday while weak SW energy continues to blip in through the background. Most North County spots can expect surf in the waist-chest high range through the morning and afternoon low tides…maybe a rare shoulder high set now and then at the best combo spots.
South County breaks will be a little bit better…particularly the NW facing breaks. Look for most spots to average around waist-shoulder high. Standout breaks will see some inconsistent chest-head high sets mixing in on the lower tides.

Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
The W-NW swell starts to drop on Tuesday and even the little background SW swell will start to trail off. Still despite the dropping swell we will have plenty of fun waves at the exposed breaks.
North County spots will be a bit shadowed from the WNW-NW’er but enough energy filters through to keep the average spots in the chest-shoulder high range with some head high sets mixing in during the lower tides. The standout North County spots will be more in the shoulder-head high range with a few plus sets showing before the tide slows things down.
South County breaks will be more in the shoulder-overhead range with sets still coming through a couple of feet overhead (and bigger) at the best standout breaks during the lower tides. times. Expect the most consistency and better shape through the early morning and then choppier/smaller conditions on tap through the afternoon.

The new mix of W-NW swell (275-300) and new background SW swell (200-220) will continue to fill in on Saturday morning…eventually peaking Saturday afternoon and on into Sunday/Monday. At this point it looks like the North County spots will see surf in the chest-head high range with some inconsistent overhead+ sets showing on the lower tides as the swells peak. South County breaks can expect surf more in the shoulder-overhead range at the average spots. The top breaks will see more consistent head high and overhead surf with sets going several feet overhead as the W-NW’er really kicks in. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some bigger sets showing on Sunday after the tide drops off a bit.
Look for N-NE winds around 10-15 knots for Saturday and Sunday mornings. Afternoon winds will turn onshore out of the WNW around 10-13 knots, but may stay manageable at the protected spots.

Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
The day will start off a bit slow with mostly leftover WNW energy doing most of the work…there will be a couple of new swells, a larger W-NW and a background SW swell, that will be filling in with some long-period energy throughout the day…showing bigger surf by late in the afternoon…and much larger surf on Saturday and Sunday.
North County breaks can expect surf in the knee-waist high range…with a few waist-chest high sets at the standout spots. High tide continues to hamper shape through the morning but there might be a few more workable waves showing at the really shallow sandbars.
South County breaks will see surf in the waist-chest high range with some chest-shoulder high waves at the better breaks.
Expect the surf to build slowly throughout the day as both the SW and W-NW swells fill in…unfortunately it doesn’t look like a ton of new size will be able to push through before dark. Likely the spots that like really long-period swells will have a few head high+ sets showing before sundown.
Winds look good…mostly light and variable early and then just variable winds around 10-15 knots on tap for the afternoon.

The mix of WNW-NW energy will be on the way down on Wednesday, and a little increase of NW windswell will move into the background and help keep the wave heights from dropping too far too fast.
Surfwise we are going to see pretty slow shape through the morning…soft and close to shore for many spots, thanks to the high tide that peaks right in the middle of the dawn patrol. Still even with the tide many exposed spots will still see chest-shoulder high surf…and maybe a few rare bigger sets at the standouts. As the tide drops we can still expect surf in the chest-shoulder high+ range with a few bigger waves at the standouts. Surf shape doesn’t look good for the afternoon…lots of onshore bump thanks to building local winds.
Winds and weather don’t look that great on Wednesday. The winds, even though they switch around Tuesday night don’t look like they are going to be super helpful but the shouldn’t be actively bad either. There will be some semi-clean conditions early…but expect periods of rain and onshore texture to pulse through as the storm continues to move through the region. Look for light/variable to variable-onshore flow for the morning. NW winds 10-20 knots will develop through the afternoon.
Here are the tides…

The mix of WNW-NW energy will be on the way down on Wednesday, and a little increase of NW windswell will move into the background and help keep the wave heights from dropping too far too fast.
Surfwise we are going to see pretty slow shape through the morning…soft and close to shore for many spots, thanks to the high tide that peaks right in the middle of the dawn patrol. Still even with the tide many exposed spots will still see chest-shoulder high surf…and maybe a few rare bigger sets at the standouts. As the tide drops we can still expect surf in the chest-shoulder high+ range with a few bigger waves at the standouts.

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Tuesday - 2/9/2010
Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
We will start off with some decent surf on Tuesday despite the overall drop in size from the weekend. Our swell will be a mix of W-NW energy still holding on from the weekend as well as a little reinforcing NW pulse that has pushed into the background. Most exposed spots will see surf in the chest-head high range…a little less consistent through North County. The standout breaks in South San Diego, basically from La Jolla on down, will have shoulder-head high surf with overhead sets (and possibly a little bigger) showing on the lower tides. Look for cleanest conditions early in the day and increasing WNW-NW winds on tap for the afternoon. Points and reefs will have the best shape…if we had any real ones in North County…but good sandbars and the various structures that can break up a swell will be ok fallback places to check.
Light and variable winds early in the morning but with building W-NW winds 10-20+ knots on tap by the afternoon as the next storm front moves through. Look for more rain through the end of the day as well.

San Diego Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 2/6-2/7/2010
Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
New W-WNW wind/storm swell will be filling in on Saturday…starting off with some decent shoulder-head high surf at the top breaks in the morning and then building to a couple of feet overhead by the end of the day. Late in the afternoon/evening we will have a new WNW-NW swell (280-300) start to show…this will build overnight into Sunday. With the winds out of the S-SE for the morning I expect a handful of spots to be ok shapewise, water quality will be crap, but the surf will be at least rideable. …really it will end up being a race between how much the swell can build before the winds shift onshore.
Saturday winds and weather are looking a bit stormy with S-SE winds 10-15 knots showing across the county for the morning and then gusts hitting up around 20-25+ knots for the afternoon. Expect rain and possibly thunderstorms pushing throughout the day.
Sunday the WNW-NW swell and the W-WNW windswell are set to peak. Most exposed spots will be running shoulder-overhead+ with bigger sets mixing in. Top NW facing breaks will be a few feet overhead and possibly a little bigger at the really exposed spots. Shape won’t be all that great thanks to steady WNW winds…but the size will be up if a little window opens.
Sunday winds shift more to the WNW around 10-15 knots for the morning and gusts nearing 20-knots for the afternoon. Drier conditions overall but not much in the way of clean surf thanks to the new, lamer, wind direction.

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Friday - 2/5/2010
Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
Looks like sort of ho-hum leftovers on tap for early Friday. North County spots that don’t have a lot of exposure to the leftover WNW-NW swell mix will be in the knee-waist high range on inconsistent sets. Standout South County spots will have some chest-shoulder high sets through the morning but still not a lot of oomph behind them. New swell starts to show late in the day, mostly on the buoys, but there may be a few slightly larger waves coming in before sundown at a few spots. Shape isn’t look all that great thanks to steady S-SE winds throughout the day…but there are a few pockets around La Jolla that can handle those sort of winds…so keep them in mind.
Expect to see smaller and less consistent surf as the swell mix fades through the afternoon.
Winds and weather are looking a bit stormy with S-SE winds 10-15 knots showing across the county for the morning and then gusts hitting up around 20-25+ knots for the afternoon. Showers are expected to push south through the day.

Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
The WNW-NW swell backs down on Thursday but we will continue to see plenty of fun waves through most of the County. North County spots will be smaller…mostly chest-shoulder high at the average spots with a few head high sets at the best breaks.
South County spots will be more in the chest-head high range with some overhead sets still mixing in on the lower morning tides and the mid-morning tide push.
Expect to see smaller and less consistent surf as the swell mix fades through the afternoon.
Winds look good with mostly light and variable to light offshore flow early on. W winds 10-15 knots will build onshore in the afternoon.

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Wednesday - 2/3/2010
Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
New WNW-NW swell fills in and peaks on Wednesday…with a touch of onshore texture filling in along with it. Look for the average WNW-NW facing breaks throughout the county to be in the chest-shoulder high range…with some occasional shoulder high+ sets mixing in on the lower tides. Top NW facing spots will be in shoulder-head high range with overhead sets…and some occasionally bigger waves showing through the lower tides as well. Look for the best shape at the points/reefs exposed to the swell…but expect a bit of texture crumble to push through for the morning and building bump coming through in the afternoon.
Winds will be light NW-NNW for the morning…mostly below 5-8 knots. WNW winds build up to the 10-15 knot range for the afternoon. Cloudy skies and a little drizzle are on tap for most of the day.

San Diego Surf Forecast - for Tuesday - 2/2/2010
Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
We will have a mix of fading WNW-NW swell and some small S-SSW leftovers on tap for Tuesday. Most average spots, including most of North County, will be in the waist high range with chest high sets. The standout NW facing spots, mostly through South County will be more in the chest-shoulder high range with some inconsistent bigger sets showing through the early morning tide push.
New WNW-NW swell starts to filter through the buoys later on Tuesday but doesn’t look like it will show much in the way of new surf before dark…but the afternoon sets might be a little more consistent as the new energy arrives.
Winds look good for the morning…mostly light and variable to light ESE. Winds shift more S-SW onshore around 10-12 knots for the afternoon. Chance of light showers developing overnight into Wednesday.
