Surf Forecast - Good for February 28th-March 2nd 2008
Still looking fun out there!
__________________________________________________________________
*You'll
notice at the bottom of the surf report pages, (under
the text), that there is now a small audio player. We
will be implementing this technology over the next few
days so we can deliver real time, first person, dawn
patrol audio reports. The way it will work is that the
reporter will go down to the beach at first light observe
and call in his report which will load directly on to
the report page. After that the reporter will do his
or her normal text and image report.
No site has this type of real time first person report
and we're proud to deliver it to you. Bear with us over
the next few days as we hammer out the details. Unfortunately
this doen't work with PDA's yet but will soon.
This "C.O.D" service, (Crack of dawn), will
begin on Monday morning.

What a killer day! Hope you were able to get
wet...if not, don't worry about it. We'll have varying
degrees of swell for the next 4-6 days. Both
West and South facing breaks should be working, so get
out there and have some fun.
The California buoy is up to 10.5 feet at 14
seconds.
The Harvest buoy is down to 5.1 feet at 4-6
second intervals from an angle of 299 degrees.
The Santa Monica buoy is down to 3.0
feet from a dominant angle of 212 degrees at 16-18 seconds.
Nice, Southern Hemi, deep water ground swell energy!
The Santa Barbara channel is quiet.

By Thursday morning
we should be firing on all cylinders with a combination
of ground swell out of the NW, (280-290) & SW, (200-210).
This should make for a nice mix and hopefully peaky
conditions at the beach breaks. The choice of surf breaks
should be limitless and definitely worth a sniff around
the coast. The top West facing beaches will definitely
pull the bulk of the energy and should be head high
to overhead by first light. Most of the South facing
breaks will go waist to chest high. There may be some
gaps between the Southerly sets but breaks like Topanga
and Malibu should have some fun little waves. With the
possibility of some new sand bars and multi directional
swells you may stumble onto something good if you shop
around.
For conditions,
it looks like light and variable winds
at 3-5 MPH until noon and just a hair stronger through
the rest of the day. Look for a high air temp of 71
degrees.
On Friday morning we'll
have continued action as both the NW and SW swells hold
on for another day, (but are likely a shade smaller).
Once again, the better West facing breaks will have
the biggest surf, with head high to overhead waves,
but the South facing beaches will also have some fun
little waves, so take a look around.
For
conditions, it looks like light and variable
winds at 3-5 MPH until noon and just a hair
stronger through the rest of the day. Look for a high
air temp of 72 degrees.
For Saturday morning things are looking to
wind down a bit with wave heights dipping into the chest
to head high range. There will still be some action
out of both the NW and SW, and in all likelihood, some
decent waves to be had. Basically,
it will just be a smaller version of Friday. Light and
variable winds should prevail.
By
Sunday morning we should be back in the chips
as a new 14-16 second interval swell, from an angle
of 300-305 degrees angles down the coast. This energy,
being a bit steeper, will seek out only the most exposed
West facing breaks. Shadowed breaks will be bypassed
completely or receive only reflective energy. There's
also a nice band of 16-18 second South swell from a
steep 185-190 degrees. This swell, much like it's counter
part, will be selctive about what breaks it hits. Look
for the OC to finally come to life with
head high plus surf and Topanga and Malibu should also
be able to feed off this direction. I'll keep an eye
on this one, it's shaping up to be another good day
of surf and the conditions look excellent as well.
The water temps
are as follows: Huntington 57 The South Bay 57 and the
Malibu area 55.
I'll be back Thursday night with the latest scoop.
