Ventura Surf Forecast - For Tuesday - 1/26/10

Another decent sized WNW swell moves in on Tuesday. Average W facing spots move back into the shoulder-overhead range while the standout NW breaks see consistent head high to a few feet overhead on the bigger sets. Shape will be a little slow through the morning…but it should improve through midmorning as the tide drops. Not sure how long the winds will hold through the morning either…you might want to weigh the tide vs the wind at some point just so you don’t miss out.

Winds will be out of the E-ESE through the morning…lots of spots seeing 10-15+ knots but with some stronger 20+ knot gusts at times. Expect rain and cool air temps as well. Look for winds to shift more to the straight S by later in the day…so junky conditions in many areas by the afternoon.

Here are the tides…
