Los Angeles Surf Forecast – Weekend Waves – New NW swell peaks

The Swell
A smaller NW swell (290-300) and a new SW swell (200-220) will start us off on Saturday morning. A bigger, more consistent, NW swell (285-300+) will start to show some new long-period energy as it begins to fill in through the day…and maybe even a few bigger waves at the well exposed spots by the late afternoon. The NW’er eventually peaks overnight into Sunday where it will hold throughout the day.

Saturday Morning



Sunday Morning



Waves
Saturday we can expect mostly knee-waist high waves at the average spots for the dawn patrol. The standout combo spots and the best NW facing breaks in the South Bay will have some inconsistent bigger sets around chest-shoulder high for the morning. The new NW’er will add a little size and consistency as the tide drops during the afternoon…though it looks like most of the energy will arrive after sundown.

Sunday the NW’er will peak, with the majority of the energy showing through select spots in the South Bay…we will also have a ok background shot of SW swell (200-220) that will keep the SW facing breaks from being totally shut off. The average breaks, in both sides of the county, will be in the waist-chest high range…with some shoulder-head high sets at the breaks with a bit more NW exposure. The standout NW facing spots in the South Bay will be in the shoulder-high to overhead range pretty consistently…with some sets going a couple of feet overhead at times.

Winds
Winds look ok for both days…sort of light/variable to light SE’erly in the mornings and moderately onshore out of the W-WSW around 10-15 knots by the afternoons.
