Conditions clean up but the NW windswell will be on the way down pretty quickly on Thursday. There will be some smaller WNW-NW energy and inconsistent S-SW swell holding in the background…but the windswell will be doing most of the work.
Most North County spots will be in the knee-waist high range off of this mix…but a few of the better NW facing breaks will have some waist-chest high sets showing after the tide drops. The standout NW facing breaks will have some almost shoulder high surf sneaking in at times. The best S facing spots will average around knee-waist high but there will be some inconsistent chest high sets sneaking into those breaks as well.
South County spots will be much bigger, more consistent, but won’t have the best shape since most of the energy will be pretty short-period sloppies. Look for chest-shoulder high surf for most exposed areas. The standout NW facing spots, mostly at the beach breaks, will have some shoulder-head high surf with some overhead sets mixing in.
All areas can expect the surf to drop off in the afternoon as the majority of the energy drains out with the dropping NW windswell.
Look for E-SE winds around 10 knots for the morning with the potential for some 10-15 knot gusts near the wind-prone passes and canyons. Those winds shift to the NW around 10-15 knots for the afternoon.
Here are the tides…
