SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 4-29-13
______________________________________________________________________________

Tuesday morning should be the best day we’ve seen in a while with that 195-200 degree, long interval SW swell in effect. Any spot with a peek at the South should see some fun chest to shoulder high sets and the super exposed breaks should go head high or better. The energy will be more even dispersed so the OC won’t be the only game in town. There should be lots of choices out there, but with the long intervals the points and reefs look like the best option.

The conditions look fair for spots that can handle a South wind, we’ll have breezes out of the SE/SSE in the 2-4 MPH zone until 11AM and those will get up to the 8-10 MPH zone out of the West for the afternoon. The air temp will top out at 68 degrees.

Wednesday morning is looking good as South swell continues to flow in one right on top of another and all from that liberal angle of 195-200 degrees. The top spots will see shoulder to head high plus sets but the swell should wrap into the combo spots as feel.

We’ll also see some 8-10 second interval, NW wind swell from a fairly steep angle of 210 degrees. That should be just enough to break up the long interval SW energy.

For Thursday morning both the NW wind swell and the SW ground swell will back down a notch, but continue to produce some good surf. The wind swell will be in the knee to waist high zone and the SW energy will continue to churn out chest to shoulder high sets with a few larger sneaker sets.
