Los Angeles Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 2/20-2/21/2010

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.

New W swell arrives on Saturday, peaking in the afternoon and then holding overnight into Sunday. Winds and weather will come along with the swell…but there may be a short pocket of cleaner conditions on tap early Saturday morning.

Sizewise we can expect the North County W facing breaks to see surf in the chest-head high range with some bigger head high+ sets showing as the swell peaks. South Bay spots will see consistent shoulder-overhead+ surf for most spots and some sets going several feet+ overhead at the standout breaks. If winds manage to hold onto the southerly flow that sets up on Friday the South Bay will likely be the best call on Saturday morning.

Saturday morning winds are forecast to be semi-onshore…but the models aren’t really all that certain. There is a chance that we will have S-SE winds early in the morning, so there may be a few pockets of cleaner conditions at the protected spots. Look for W winds 10-20+ knots to develop by Saturday afternoon and hold through most of Sunday. It will be raining both days.

Here are the tides…
