SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 3-26-13
______________________________________________________________________________

Not a bad run for March… seems like it did the same thing last year but unfortunately it looks like we’ll slip into a bit of a surf slump for the foreseeable future. There is some activity down in the Southern Hemisphere worth keeping an eye on but I’m not ready to get the hype wheel rolling just yet.
______________________________________________________________________________

On Thursday morning we’ll be dependent on some small, long interval NW swell from a steep 310 degree angle. This will put the top West facing breaks in the waist high range.

There’s a decent tide push through the early morning which can only help us out.
