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
Here are the tides…
