SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 2-6-13
______________________________________________________________________________
For Thursday morning we’ll see some chest to shoulder high plus sets for the better West facing breaks. This will be comprised of a combination of short to medium interval wind swell and some longer period ground swell. An early morning high tide will slow things down a bit, but the waterline will recede quickly, resulting in a minus tide in the early afternoon.
