SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 4-17-13
______________________________________________________________________________

By Thursday morning the NW wind swell will dip into the waist to high plus zone for the morning and continue to taper off as the day wears on.

The South swell will fade into waist to chest high range and become less consistent. Once again this will come in at a steep angle and be selective about what beaches it visits.

For Saturday morning the South swell should be in full swing with chest high plus sets for the better South facing breaks. The OC and San O’ areas will be the best bet as the lesser exposed breaks will have a tough time pulling it in.
