SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 3-19-13
______________________________________________________________________________

For Wednesday morning the SW energy will take center stage as the wind swell peters out. The most exposed spots should see waist to possibly chest high sets. The top spots in San O’ and OC will have the most size and consistency.

Thursday morning looks better, as some fresh, NW wind swell moves in from a steep 310 degree angle and puts the better West facing breaks into the waist high plus zone. We’ll also see another burst of SW energy from that same 195 degree angle. This will have 14-16 second intervals and be good for chest high sets at the better South facing beaches.

For Friday morning the NW wind swell should jump up a notch and put the better West facing breaks into the chest to shoulder high range. The SW energy will remain in play and continue to dish up waist to chest high sets.

The tide’s not overly high early and with decent conditions most spots should see at least a little action.

Saturday morning should be another decent day for waves as the NW wind swell tapers off a hair, (but should still be good for some peaky chest high sets). The SW swell should still be kicking down some waist to chest high sets as well.

______________________________________________________________________________

By Sunday morning we’ll see another, slightly bigger pulse of SW swell. The top spots should see chest to possibly head high sets.

The West facing breaks will back down into the waist high plus zone, but spots with dual exposure should get a nice boost from the Southerly energy.
