Ventura Surf Forecast - for Friday - 2/12/2010

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.

The new W-NW swell will be filling in throughout the day on Friday…expect the morning to be on the small side since the swell will just be starting to show and the high tide will still be peaking. Look for most spots to see surf in the waist-chest high range while the standout breaks see some chest-shoulder high+ sets early. By the afternoon most breaks will be running in the shoulder-head high+ range while the standout breaks see overhead sets…maybe even a little bigger if the swell comes through with larger energy in the long-period bands. Definitely expect this swell mix to peak over the weekend.

Winds look ok…sort of variable around 5-knots in the morning…and then NNW around 10-15+ knots for the afternoon.

Here are the tides…
