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.

Here are the tides…
