Saturday starts off with some new WNW-NW swell (280-300) starting to show early in the day but not getting a ton of new size on the beach for the morning. The WNW-NW builds in through Saturday afternoon and peaks throughout the day on Sunday. Small, much less consistent, SW energy (200-220) holds in the background.
Waves
Saturday will start off a little slow through the early morning…but the new swell will be just starting to show. Still we will have enough energy from the previous swell for the average spots to hold on to waist-chest high sets, while the standouts see some chest-shoulder high+ waves. Look for bigger and more consistent surf to fill in through the afternoon, likely putting some head high+ sized sets in before dark.
The WNW-NW’er peaks on Sunday with consistent chest-head high surf at the average exposed breaks. Top NW facing spots…mostly from central county southward will have some shoulder-head high+ surf fairly consistently and sets going a couple of feet overhead at times. Looks like points and reefs will have the best shape but expect smaller less consistent sets in those areas.
Winds
Mostly light winds Saturday morning but starting to increase out of the NW pretty early. Look for NW winds 10-14 knots by midmorning and gusts hitting 20 knots by the afternoon.
Sunday the winds will be light and variable to N-NE around 10-12 knots…depending on how exposed your spots are. Look for the usual onshore afternoon winds out of the NW 10-15 knots.
