Ventura Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 2/20-2/21/2010

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.

New W swell arrives and peaks on Saturday and then holds and slowly drops on Sunday. Winds and weather will come along with the new swell…but we might see semi-surfable conditions in some areas early on Saturday.

The average W facing breaks will be in the shoulder-overhead range with some sets going a couple of feet overhead at times. Look for the standout W-NW facing breaks to see overhead surf with sets going several feet overhead through Saturday afternoon. Sunday will be similar size but look for the bigger sets to become less consistent as we move through the afternoon.

Saturday morning winds are forecast to be semi-onshore…but the models aren’t really all that certain. There is a chance that we will have S-SE winds early in the morning, so there may be a few pockets of cleaner conditions at the protected spots. Look for W winds 10-20+ knots to develop by Saturday afternoon and hold through most of Sunday. It will be raining both days.

Here are the tides…
