SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 3-11-13
______________________________________________________________________________

Barring an act of God, (or a fast moving Chevron Tanker), it looks like we’re in for our first extended flat spell in quite some time. We had a good little run of swell over the last month, but it’s time to face the fact the our Winter swell season has come and gone with not much more than a whimper. We’re now at the mercy of South swells and wind swells. Hopefully our friends “Down Under” have a hellacious, storm riddled Winter that sends us plenty of South swells our way! Keep your fingers crossed!

On Tuesday morning there is no swell of significance to report. The top spots will wallow in the knee to waist high zone.

For Wednesday morning we’ll fair no better with timid, knee to waist high surf for the top spots. There’s a subtle tide push through the morning but I wouldn’t bank on it amounting to much.
