Los Angeles Surf Forecast – Weekend Waves – Yeah more windswell…

The Swell
WNW-NW windswell will peak into early Saturday, fade slightly through midday and then increase again in the afternoon. Look for the windswell (and a small SW swell) to fade through the day on Sunday.





Waves
Saturday will see swampy morning shape as the high tide peaks right at the dawn patrol…and by the time the tide drops the winds will get on it…so if you couldn’t tell the surf doesn’t look all that fun. Wave heights will hold around knee-waist high at the average spots while the standout South Bay breaks see some chest-shoulder high sets.

By Sunday we will still have to power through the morning high tide…but overall conditions will improve…hopefully staying clean long enough for the tide to drop. Look for more knee-waist high waves on Sunday…standout breaks will be in the chest high range…maybe a little bigger, but fading as the windswell and the tide drop.

Winds
Saturday will see variable onshore flow for the morning…mostly below 10-knots but starting to get some texture on the water early (if it ever lets up from Friday night). Look for NW winds around 10-20 knots for the afternoon.

N-NE winds around 10-15+ knots will be on tap Sunday morning. NW winds 10-15+ knots move in through the afternoon.
