SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 3-26-14
______________________________________________________________________________

For Thursday morning should have a little more size with chest to head high sets at the standout West facing breaks. Looks like it will still be pretty junky out there, but there will be some 12-14 second interval swell from a continued steep angle of 295-300 degrees.

Not looking real promising but hey, its late March!

Friday morning looks smaller, but a bit more promising as conditions should clean up a bit. The better West facing beaches should see chest high plus sets, with 10-12 second intervals from a 295-300 degree angle.

A high tide at 8:15 AM will definitely factor in to the morning equation.
