Ventura Surf Forecast - For Tuesday - 1/19/10

Make sure to read the full region forecast...it will help this one make sense, (Not promising any miracles though). Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.

New W swell and more craptacular weather will be on tap for Tuesday. Look for a new cold front to spin around the wind to the SE…cleaning up a few spots (that usually work well on storm-swells)…but hacking up a lot of others.

Wave heights will be running pretty consistently overhead as the new swell fills in…WNW facing standouts will see some overhead to well-overhead sizes through the morning and probably more size on tap through the lower tide in the afternoon. Overall I am not expecting very surfable shape but there may be a few of the really protected breaks that will have some marginal but rideable waves, particularly through the morning.

Look for SE winds around 10-15+ knots for the morning, along with stronger gusts at the well exposed spots. Rain on tap for the morning as well. S-SSW winds will shift through in the afternoon building into 15-25+ knot range with stronger near 35+ knot gusts as the storm settles in. More rain and a chance for Thunderstorms for the evening/night as well.
