WNW-NW swell (280-300) and local WNW windswell will be slowly building on Tuesday…unfortunately shape looks pretty sloppy for most of the day.
Most exposed spots can expect waist-chest high surf for the morning…the standout NW facing breaks will have more chest-shoulder high surf with some inconsistent head high sets on the am tide push.
Shapewise the onshore wind is going to be the biggest problem…but the high mid-morning tide isn’t going to do us any favors either. Look for cleanest conditions early in the morning…and then bumpy, choppy, shape from mid-morning on.
W winds are supposed to get an early jump on things…starting off around 10-12 knots for the morning and then quickly building into the 12-20 knot range by the afternoon. Patchy fog and cooler air temps will also be on tap throughout the day.

Los Angeles Surf Forecast - for Monday - 3/29/2010
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 WNW-NW swell (285-300), some small SW swell (200-220), and, later in the afternoon, new local WNW-NW windswell will be on the rise through Monday.
During the morning we can expect North LA to be in the knee high range at the average spots with a few waist-chest high waves showing at the better winter breaks. By the afternoon, after the tide drops out, look for some more waist-chest high surf at the average NW facing breaks and some shoulder high sets at the standouts.
The South Bay will be more in the waist-chest high+ range at the average spots for the morning. The standout NW facing breaks will be in the chest-shoulder high range at the start of the day. All spots will continue to have some swampy tide issues but you should still be able to find a few peaks in spots where the sand is shallow. By the afternoon the average spots will be more in the shoulder-head high range while the standouts see some inconsistent head high+ sets…shape won’t be the best thanks to building winds, but the new size will be buried out there in the chop.
Look for light winds…mostly variable below 5 knots for the morning. NW winds do start to fill in fairly early…picking up around lunchtime and we can expect them to top out around 13-15+ knots by the afternoon.

Los Angeles Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/27-3/28/2010
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.
The WNW-NW swell (280-300) and the SW swell (195-215) will fade out through the weekend…showing the biggest surf on Saturday…and then getting progressively smaller on Sunday.
On Saturday we can expect surf in the knee to occasionally waist high for most spots, particularly North County breaks. The standout, mostly NW facing and combo spots in the South Bay will be in the waist-chest high range with a few rare plus sets once the tide backs down. Sunday the average spots will basically hold at an inconsistent knee high while the standouts drop to mostly waist high on the bigger waves.
Winds look good for both days…warmer beach temps and NE winds around 10-15 knots for the mornings and 10-15 knot W-WNW winds for the afternoons.

Los Angeles Surf Forecast - for Friday - 3/26/2010
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 WNW-NW swell (280-300) and local WNW-NW windswell will be on the rise Friday morning while the SW swell (195-215) continues to slowly fade out. Conditions look OK for the morning…but there will be some Northerly winds blowing pretty early in the day which won’t do most South Bay spots (and on up into Santa Monica) any favors.
North County won’t be able to pick up most of the energy in the WNW-NW swell…but some of it, and the windswell will filter into the well exposed spots. Look for the fading SW swell and shadowed WNW-NW energy to keep most spots in the knee-waist high range with some inconsistent chest high sets showing at the standouts.
The WNW-NW swell will show much better down through the South Bay…look for most exposed spots to be in the chest-shoulder high range with some head high sets showing at times. The top NW facing breaks will be more in the shoulder-head high+ range with some overhead sets showing on the lower tides…and maybe a few overhead+ sets by late in the afternoon as the windswell continues to increase.
Winds will be mostly light early…but like I said above it looks like they will be light N winds. Expect the winds to be below 10-knots for the morning…with the cleanest conditions showing at the protected areas of North LA. The winds shift WNW-NW around 10-15+20 knots for the afternoon.

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.
The SW swell slowly fades on Thursday while a new mix of NW swell (290-300) and NW windswell build in throughout the day. Unfortunately it looks like onshore winds will start up pretty early…so expect some bumpy shape for the morning and some choppy nastiness by the afternoon.
North County will be in the knee-waist high range for most of the average exposed spots. Standout breaks will see some chest-shoulder high sets.
South Bay will be more in the waist-shoulder high range at the average breaks while the standout combo spots and excellent NW facing spots see some head high sets…maybe even a few bigger ones in the afternoon.
W winds are expected to pick up early…likely coming onshore around 5-8 knots for the morning but building steadily into the 15-20 knot range by the afternoon.

Los Angeles Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/20-3/21/2010
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.
On Saturday the mix of WNW-NW energy will back off a bit more while the S-SW swell continues to pulse in a bit inconsistently. Most exposed spots will be in the knee-waist high range. The top South Bay breaks will be both bigger and more consistent as it pulls in some more NW energy…look for the surf to be more in the waist high+ range at the average spots while the standout breaks see some inconsistent chest-shoulder high sets.
Sunday we get a new WNW-NW swell (285-300) that fills in throughout the day…it isn’t particularly big but it should add a little more “pop” to the surf and help to increase the consistency of the sets. Most spots will hold around waist high…with a couple of plus sets here and there. The standout breaks will be more consistently in the chest-shoulder high range. The S-SW swell trails off a bit…so expect the summer spots to get a little smaller.
Both days look pretty clean during the mornings. Expect light and variable winds for most spots and a few areas with some very light offshore flow. It looks like we will be fighting a bit of a marine layer…maybe even some patchy fog…so don’t be surprised if visibility isn’t always that good. The winds should stay on the light side through the afternoons on both Saturday and Sunday…but expect the sea-breeze to develop enough to driving some variable 10-12 knot onshore flow into the more exposed spots.

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.
The swell mix backs of a bit on Friday as the WNW-NW loses a little bit of energy and the S-SW swell still struggles with inconsistent sets.
North County spots will see a blend of small WNW-NW energy and a little more of the S-SW swell…most breaks will be in the knee-high range with some knee-waist high+ sets at the standout combo spots.
South Bay spots will be in the chest-shoulder high range with some shoulder-head high sets sneaking into the standout breaks.
Look for mostly light and variable winds in the morning with some pockets of light offshore winds here and there. There will be a bit of fog lingering early in the morning but will burn off pretty quickly. Look for variable onshore winds around 10-12 knots for the afternoon.

The WNW-NW swell drops slightly on Thursday while the S-SW swell strengthens a touch more…with waves staying fun for most of the exposed breaks.
North County spots will see a little more size on Thursday…most average breaks will see knee-waist high surf while the top combo spots see some waist-chest high surf.
In the South Bay look for most of the average spots to see surf in the chest-shoulder high range while the standout NW breaks see some shoulder-head high sets sneaking in on the lower tides.
Look for mostly light and variable winds in the morning with some pockets of light offshore winds in a few spots. These winds will hold through mid-morning but then turn westerly around lunch and will eventually peak around 10-15+ knots by late afternoon.

The new WNW-NW swell will be peaking on Wednesday…the angle is way too steep for North County…but the South Bay should be able to pull in a good chunk of it. North County spots will see a little more of the S-SW swell but it won’t produce much more than knee-waist high waves at the top spots.
In the South Bay look for most of the average spots to see surf in the chest-shoulder high range while the standout NW breaks see some shoulder-head high+ sets sneaking in on the lower tides. Points and reefs will have the best shape.
Winds and weather look pretty nice again on Wednesday. Mostly sunny skies with some light/variable to light offshore winds on tap for the morning. Variable onshore winds around the 10-14 knot range will develop through the afternoon.

Saturday look for mostly small, tide swamped, surf in the morning. Most spots will be in the knee-waist high range with some chest high+ sets at the standouts. North County spots will be more in the ankle-knee high range with some rare waist high waves at the best windswell spots. W-NW winds will get a jump on things pretty early so expect sloppier conditions moving in by midmorning and just getting worse as we head into the afternoon.
Sunday conditions clean up, though we will still have some tide issues in the morning. We will also see some new WNW-NW swell (285-300) mixing in with the new windswell and a touch of S-SW swell. North County can expect more consistent knee-waist high surf with some inconsistent chest high sets at the best combo spots. Down in the South Bay…wave heights will build into the waist-shoulder high range for most of the exposed spots and chest-head high+ sets at the standouts. Winds will start off light offshore and then shift variable onshore around 10-13 knots for the afternoon.

Just some NW windswell leftovers, background WNW-NW swell, and some inconsistent S-SW swell, on tap for Friday. Look for nearly flat conditions for the morning as we shuffle through the high AM tide. North County spots will stay pretty small with ankle-knee high surf for most spots and some inconsistent waist high sets at the standout breaks.
The South Bay will pull in more of the NW energy and can expect surf in the waist high range for most areas with some chest-high sets at the standouts. Looks biggest in the morning (once the tide drops off)…and then gets smaller through the afternoon as the windswell continues to fade out.

The South Bay will pull in more of the NW energy and can expect surf in the waist-chest high range for most areas with some chest-shoulder high+ sets at the standouts. Looks biggest in the morning (once the tide drops off)…and then gets smaller through the afternoon as the windswell fades out.
Look for NE winds around 10-15 knots for the morning with the potential for some 20-25 knot gusts near the wind-prone passes and canyons. Those winds shift to the W-NW around 10-20 knots for the afternoon.
Here are the tides…

Look for surf in the knee-waist high range for most of the average breaks…maybe even smaller at a few of the really protected spots in North County. The standout NW facing windswell spots will have some shoulder-head high+ sets.
More freaking wind on tap for Wednesday…WNW-NW winds 10-20 knots for the morning…with some stronger near 25-30 knot gusts setting up by the afternoon.

Los Angeles Surf Forecast - for Monday - 3/8/2010
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.
Steep NW energy, both windswell and some medium period stuff, will push past LA on Monday…a little bit of the energy will make it into the South Bay standouts but it will be pretty small everywhere else. Look for surf in the knee-waist high range for most of the average breaks…maybe even smaller at a few of the really protected spots in North County. The standout NW facing windswell spots will have some waist-chest high+ sets.
Some lighter almost semi-variable conditions setting up along the coast early in the morning but shifting WNW-NW’erly very shortly after sunrise. Expect some residule bump on pretty much everything except the most protected breaks. WNW-NW winds 15-25 knots move in through the afternoon.

Los Angeles Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/6-3/7/2010
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.
On Saturday look for a mix of leftover WNW-NW swell, some new steep NW swell (295-300), and some shadowed SW energy.
Most spots north county spots will be in the knee-waist high range while the standout combo breaks through the South Bay will have some chest-shoulder high sets sneaking into the really exposed spots. Winds will be light through the morning but build out of the SW around 10-20 knots for late in the afternoon and bring in more rain for the evening.
Sunday the storm will still be lingering but it looks like winds won’t be so bad…expect about the same size as Saturday but with a little bit more W-NW windswell creeping into the well exposed spots. Expect light/variable winds for early Sunday and then building NW winds 15-20+ knots for late in the afternoon.

Los Angeles Surf Forecast - for Thursday 3/4/2010
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.
The WNW-NW swell will be on the way down on Thursday…but there will be plenty of energy still sloshing around at the well exposed spots. There will also be a touch of SW swell (200-220) that may sneak some micro-surf into a few of the North County summer breaks. Shape doesn’t look great for most of the county but there may be a few little surf windows at spots protected from the NW winds.
North County spots will be in the chest-shoulder high range with a few inconsistent head high sets showing at the best WNW-NW facing spots. The purely S-facing breaks will be more in the knee high range with some rare waist high+ sets.
South Bay spots will be in the chest-head high range with sets going overhead at the average WNW-NW spots. Standout NW breaks will be consistently shoulder-overhead with sets going a couple of feet overhead.
Winds will be NW around 8-12 knots for the morning, which doesn’t totally blow out everything…I wouldn’t spend a lot of time looking for waves but it could be worth checking those little protected nuggets in the morning. NW winds 15-20 knots will move in through the afternoon.
