Turkey Day Surf – Clean and holding…with a new NW swell out the back
Thanksgiving will be a marginal surf day…the swell is still a little steeply angled to put many waves at the “average spots”…expect nice conditions but mostly slow inconsistent surf. In the water we are going to have a mix of holding NW energy (290-300), some background SW swell (200-220) and ...

Swell Alert – Good sized W-WNW heading to the West Coast
A strong new W-WNW swell will start moving into the California Coast late tonight, hitting the Northern and Central California regions well after sundown and eventually peaking in those regions on Thanksgiving. Southern California will start to see some WNW-NW (280-300) long-period energy ...

Waves for Wednesday – Clean conditions (and NW swell) continue
Wednesday will be a surf day. The NW swell (290-300) will hold on Wednesday and mix with a slight bump in SW energy (200-220). Look for the NW’er to loose a little steam as we head into the afternoon. Since the swell angle is starting to get pretty steep on the NW energy it won’t be showing ...

Tuesday’s Surf – Offshore winds with some new NW swell
Tuesday will be a surf day…again nothing huge, even with the new swell, but the offshore winds and sunny skies will make a good argument for paddling out. Our swell will be a mix of sort of holding WNW-NW short-period energy (not totally windswell but very similar), some new NW swell (290-300), ...

Southern California Long-range Surf Forecast – 11/23/2009
Forecast Overview Playful WNW-NW energy and some weak SW swell will combine with Santa Ana conditions for the next couple of days. Look for the Santa Anas to back down by Thanksgiving but a new, stronger, WNW swell to arrive Thursday evening and peak into Friday. More swell on tap over the ...

Monday’s Surf – Clean and slowly fading
Monday looks like a surf day…but you will need to stick to the top NW exposed spots if you are looking for bigger size and more consistency. In the water we are going to see a mix of backing off WNW-NW swell (280-300) and some trace SW energy (210-220). A lot of the North Pacific energy is ...

Waves for the Weekend – more WNW-NW swell…a little wind
This will be a surf weekend…though the wind may not cooperate all that well on Saturday...fortunately the swell peaks on Sunday. Over the weekend we are going to see a mix of building WNW-NW swell…it will get a slow start Saturday morning, so we can expect fun but smaller surf for the dawn ...

Friday’s Surf – Backing off but still fun
Friday will be a surf day…but like most of the week you will need to watch the tidal swing and your exposure to the WNW-NW swell. In the water, you guessed it, we are going to have a slowly fading mix of WNW-NW energy (280-300) and some very background SW swell (200-220). Look for the biggest ...

Southern California Long-range Surf Forecast – 11/19/2009
Forecast Overview The first pulse of WNW-NW swell will back down as we head into Friday…but more WNW-NW energy moves in right behind it and pushes our surf back up on Saturday and eventually peaks on Sunday. A little bit of funky weather/winds for Saturday morning but clean conditions for ...

Surf Photos – A few shots from this fun WNW-NW’er
Soooo…I scheduled a midmorning meeting a little further south than I normally surf…along a stretch of coast that had, let’s say some better WNW-NW exposure, and since I was about 4 hours early I just had to find something to do…(fortunately I brought my camera along…and uh my ...

Thursday’s Surf – Finally some swell
Thursday will be a surf day…fun but not epic or anything… we are just finally going to see a decent mix of swell and conditions come together (now if the tides could just shape up). We are going to have a mix of peaking WNW-NW swells, both a short-period windswell and some medium-period energy ...

New swell showing on the buoys…
The new WNW-NW swell is starting to show on the “outer buoys” this afternoon…both the Harvest Buoy and San Nicolas are hitting 10’+ with most of the energy coming through at the 12-14 second period band. Granted a lot of this energy is coming in a bit steeply angled for Socal…but we will be ...

Waves for Wednesday – Starting slow but building through the afternoon
Wednesday will be more surfable than the last couple of days…but not really in the morning. For most regions don’t expect to see much, if any, increase in surf for the dawn patrol. A new mix of WNW-NW swell, a blend of both windswell from local winds and some medium-short period energy from a ...

Tuesday’s Swampiness – Wake me when the swell gets here
Tuesday will not be a surf day. The combination of a weak swell mix (leftover NW and SW energy) and the high morning tide is going to kill off most of our surfiness. Of course the conditions will be great (after it warms up)…since we don’t have much to ride. Ok despite my ever so cheerful ...

Southern California Long-range Surf Forecast – 11/16/2009
Forecast Overview Tuesday is going to be small as we power through high tide and leftover swell. The rest of the week looks waaaay better as new storm activity brews up a decent shot of WNW-NW swell for late Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Long-range charts are calling for more WNW-NW swell ...

Monday’s Surf – Clean with a small swell mix
Monday will be rideable but I think that the morning high tides and the small swell mix will keep most spots from having a real surf day. On Monday we are going to see a mix of WNW-NW windswell, some small SW swell (190-210), and a touch of background NW energy (295-300+). Most of the ...

Waves for the weekend – Sloppy Saturday but cleaning up Sunday
Overall it won’t be a great weekend surfwise…Saturday looks pretty sloppy most of the day as the onshore winds continue to hamper shape/conditions. Sunday, however, looks bit cleaner as winds go offshore…hopefully there will be enough windswell hanging around to make it worth getting wet. ...
