Los Angeles Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 1/30-1/31/2010

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.

Saturday will see new WNW-NW swell filling in throughout the county but showing strongest through the South Bay (like pretty much every other WNW swell). The tide will swamp things out pretty hard in the morning and there will probably only be a handful of spots that can handle the extra water…look for some chest-head high surf at the breaks that can…maybe a few bigger overhead+ sets at the standout South Bay breaks.

As the tide drops look for more consistent shoulder-head high surf at the average WNW-NW spots…with the standout South Bay breaks seeing sets around the overhead to a couple of feet overhead range…maybe even bigger later Saturday afternoon.

Sunday looks pretty similar to Saturday…same tide issues and everything. Look for more chest-head high surf at the WNW-NW spots and overhead+ (and bigger) surf on tap at the standouts.

Saturday will have sort of funky winds…sort of light and variable in the morning with building onshore flow coming on pretty early and junking it up with 10-15+ knot winds by the afternoon. Sunday looks much cleaner with light to moderate offshore flow in the morning and only variable onshore flow for the afternoons.

Here are the tides…have a good weekend!
