The SW swell mix (190-220) will continue to peak into Saturday before slowly fading on Sunday. There will also be some minor windswell in the water...but with short periods (around 3-4 seconds which basically makes it “wind-chop” coming in from the outer waters)...so it won’t do much of a job of breaking up the longer mostly walled up lines at the beach breaks.
Check out the sideways forecast for the next few days...
You can see the most exposed areas on the forecast...they are the slightly lighter-blue dots along the coastline. Most of the energy is heading towards the usual SW-facing spots...but this model is initializing off the Harvest Buoy, which is a little glitchy on swell direction right now. In reality there should be a lot more light-blue in SD County and LA County as well.
The wind looks ok for the next couple of mornings. Forecast charts are calling it light and variable...with a slight eddy-type flow to it. So look for weak southerly winds through the mornings with some building W-WNW winds 10-15 knots through the afternoons. Cloudy overcast skies at first and then some burn off through the end of the day.
Since there are a lot of beach breaks around my neck of the woods...I really wish that there was something to break this swell up a bit. Unfortunately we aren’t going to get much help in that department so you will have to be a bit more selective in your spot choice. Points and reefs will continue to be the best call...and then fall back on the piers/jetties/rocks/submerged cars/shipwrecks/really slow whales that can create a little crease in the lines coming in. You can still expect some longer waits between waves but we should have a little more consistency over the next couple of days.
Here are the tides...have a good one.
