Ventura Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 1/30-1/31/2010

Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.

WNW-NW swell peaks on Saturday and holds into Sunday. Unfortunately both days are going to have morning tide issues thanks to the high-tides that peak right around 8:30-9:30am. Spots that can handle the tide will see some shoulder-overhead surf with sets going overhead+ at times.

As the tide drops, both and Saturday and Sunday, look for the average WNW facing breaks to see consistent head high and overhead surf with sets going 2-3’+ overhead. Shape looks best at the points and reefs but if you have a secret little sandbar it might be worth a look as the tide starts to drain out.

Winds look a little funky on Saturday…sort of variable onshore through mid-morning and then more steadily onshore for the afternoon. Sunday looks much cleaner with offshore flow in the morning and only variable onshore bump setting up later in the afternoon.

Here are the tides…have a good weekend!
