San Diego Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/27-3/28/2010

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.

WNW-NW swell (280-300) will peak over Friday night and will hold into early Saturday…the swell starts losing energy by the afternoon and will drop even more as we head into Sunday. SW swell (195-215) will be fading steadily through the weekend so expect less surf at the summer breaks. Conditions look great for the weekend…but the tides are a bit fat in the mornings…so you might have to stick to spots that can handle a lot of extra-water.

North County will be in the knee-waist high range on Saturday with some inconsistent chest-high+ sets showing at the standout combo spots. This is going to drop more on Sunday with the average spots fading down to mostly knee high leftovers while the standouts see some inconsistent waist high sets.

South County will do a lot better on the WNW-NW swell…most of the energy is 290-300 which the region can pull in pretty well. On Saturday look for the average spots to see chest-shoulder high surf while the standout breaks see some inconsistent head high sets. By Sunday the WNW’er will have dropped off a lot…look for most average breaks to back down to knee-waist high+ on the sets while the standouts see mostly chest high surf with a few inconsistent chest-shoulder high sets.

Nice beach weather this weekend…winds will be light and variable to light offshore for the morning on both Saturday and Sunday…the winds will stay light through the afternoons as well…just going variable onshore but staying around 10-12 knots for most areas.

Here are the tides…
