SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SURF FORECAST UPDATED 9-30-13
______________________________________________________________________________

HURRICANE WATCH 9-30-13

Although there is an area of thunderstorms off the Mexican coast, they remain poorly organized and conditions are not favorable for development in the next few days.
______________________________________________________________________________

For Tuesday morning, the new NW swell will peak and put the exposed breaks into the shoulder to head high plus zone. *The angle remains STEEP so many breaks will see little or no action. The best bet will be above Pt. Conception and down in the San Diego region.

By Wednesday morning the ground swell will start to slowly taper off, but there should still be plenty of shoulder high plus sets for the standouts. We should also see some steeply angled, 8-10 second interval wind swell mix in from a 310 degree angle.

Thursday morning will be another okay day for waves as that steep, NW wind swell continues to dish up waist high plus surf for the better West facing breaks.

We’ll also see a decent little burst of long interval, SW swell start to show late in the day. This will move in from a fairly liberal 195-200 degrees, with 16-18 second intervals. Top South facing breaks will see chest high sets by Friday morning.
