SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 4-22-13
______________________________________________________________________________

Tuesday morning looks pretty weak for the West facing beaches with some small, knee to waist high wind swell.

The GOOD NEWS is that the new South swell should should be in full swing and dish up some nice, chest to shoulder high sets for the most exposed spots in the OC and San O’ areas.

The tide looks a little fat around 8:30 but overall it shouldn’t do too much damage at the beach breaks.
