SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 10-3-13
______________________________________________________________________________

HURRICANE WATCH 10-3-13

A cluster of showers and thunderstorms located about 460 miles south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, currently shows no signs of development. That may change in a few days as this area moves slowly westward. Elsewhere, there are no other organized features in the eastern Pacific.

Friday morning the new NW energy will fade, but should still be good for some waist high plus sets for the top West facing breaks.

That SW swell should peak in the AM and hold in the waist to chest high plus range for the better South facing breaks. The angle of this swell is a fairly liberal 195 degrees and should be best for the OC/San O’ areas as well as all the kelp laden points in Northern LA county.

It won’t be anything too dynamic but there will be waves and the offshore winds will blow all day long!

The tides brutally high at 9:24 AM with a 6.14 foot high, so expect most breaks to slow down a bit.

By Sunday morningwe’ll dip down back into the feeble zone with knee to waist high surf most everywhere. There should be be some inconsistent sets coming in out of the SW. There’s a nice tide push through the early morning hours and with excellent weather it still might be nice to get out there and roll the dice.
