Ventura Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/20-3/21/2010

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.

Saturday we will have a mix of WNW-NW energy (sort of a hodgepodge of local windswell, fading NW energy, and some other random crap getting swirled in for good measure). For some of the summer spots there will be a bit of S-SW swell (180-200) sneaking in as well. Look for wave heights to be in the waist-chest high range for most spots on Saturday. The top breaks will be a bit bigger…holding more in the waist-shoulder high range on the sets.

Sunday a new WNW-NW swell (285-300) will mix with the fading S-SW swell (180-200). The average WNW facing spots will stay in the waist-chest high range but sets will have a little more punch and be a bit more consistent. Summer spots will drop to mostly knee-waist high.

Both days look pretty clean during the mornings. Expect light and variable winds for most spots and a few areas with some very light offshore flow. It looks like we will be fighting a bit of a marine layer…maybe even some patchy fog…so don’t be surprised if visibility isn’t always that good. The winds should stay on the light side through the afternoons on both Saturday and Sunday…but expect the sea-breeze to develop enough to driving some variable 10-12 knot onshore flow into the more exposed spots.

Here are the tides…
