SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 2-15-13
______________________________________________________________________________
Looks like there were still a few waves to be had at El Porto this morning… everything else looked pretty WEAK! Expect 1 more day of unreal weather before we spiral back into the ice age. What a killer day today. I hope you had a chance to get outside!
______________________________________________________________________________
Saturday morning should see some killer weather but unfortunately the waves will remain in the knee to waist high zone. Great beach day, bad surf day!

For Tuesday morning it looks like we should see a stronger, 20-22 second interval build in through the day. This will eclipse the other swell when it starts to fill in and should put the exposed West facing breaks into the head high to overhead zone by days end. The weather could take a turn for the worse though…
