THE SWELLMAGNET SO CAL SURF FORECAST
ULU
Southern California Surf 4cast Updated on 5/22/22
The Surf Forecast will be updated Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
HURRICANE WATCH –Celia expected to become a hurricane
Tropical Storm Celia is currently the only organized tropical system in the eastern Pacific basin. Current satellite imagery continues to show disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity stretching from Central America westward to south of Hawaii. However, no further development of these thunderstorms are anticipated.
Tropical Storm Celia is tracking to the west-northwest well to the south of Mexico, and it will shift more toward the northwest later today into Thursday. Celia is gradually gaining wind intensity and should reach hurricane strength later Thursday.
* This is something to keep an eye on but there’s no definitive swell in the books just yet.
THURSDAY Surf Forecast
We’ll see fading, already inconsistent, SW energy in the waist high zone and those sets will roll in with less frequency as the day wears on.
Another shot of SW swell will start to show up later in the day from a Westerly 215-220 degrees. This energy will have a little pop to it with 17-18 second intervals but it looks to be another inconsistent scenario for surf.

FRIDAY Surf Forecast
We’ll see SW energy from 210-215 degrees with 16-17 second intervals. This swell should send waist to chest high sets and also has quite a bit of West in it so it should make an appearance at the breaks with a look at the SW.
