WNW-NW swell and local WNW windswell (280-300) will be on the rise on Tuesday...though conditions don’t look very good thanks to steady onshore winds.
Most spots will start out in the chest-shoulder high range before the high tide swamps things out…look for the standout breaks to see shoulder-head high surf with some bigger sets becoming more and more consistent by the afternoon. In general shape looks pretty poor…but there may be a pocket or two of protection.
W winds are supposed to get an early jump on things…starting off around 10-12 knots for the morning and then quickly building into the 12-20 knot range by the afternoon. Patchy fog and cooler air temps will also be on tap throughout the day.
Here are the tides…

Ventura Surf Forecast - for Monday - 3/29/2010
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 WNW-NW swell (285-300) will be filling in on Monday…showing some new waves through the morning but getting bigger by the afternoon. Look for the background SW swell to get a little reinforcing pulse as well. By the afternoon local windswell will be driving in some bigger waves but the winds come along with so it really isn’t going to be helping us out.
Most spots will be in the waist-chest high range by Monday morning…with a few of the top NW facing breaks (that like the higher tides) seeing some shoulder high+ sets. These waves build in through the afternoon…pushing more shoulder high surf into the average spots and more consistent head high surf at the standouts.
Look for light winds…mostly variable below 5 knots for the morning. NW winds do start to fill in fairly early…picking up around lunchtime...look for them to top out around 13-15+ knots by the afternoon.

Ventura Surf Forecast - for Friday - 3/26/2010
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.
More WNW-NW swell (280-300) and local WNW-NW windswell will push in on Friday while the background SW swell (195-215) slowly drops off.
Sizewise look for most spots to hold in the chest-shoulder high range with some inconsistent head high sets pushing in on the lower tides. The standout NW facing breaks and the best combo spots will be mostly in the shoulder-head high range but with some overhead sets mixing in. The shape will be a bit swampy through the morning…but things should improve pretty fast as the tide drops.
It looks like winds will be pretty steady/strong just a ways out to sea…but the nearshore stuff should be a bit cleaner than what we saw on Thursday. Look for variable N-NW winds around 5-10 knots for the morning (more northerly than anything right around sunrise)...so look for the cleanest conditions at spots that have a little more protection from those directions. The winds will shift more WNW-NW around 10-20 knots for the afternoon.

Ventura Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/13-3/14/2010
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 look for mostly small, tide swamped, surf in the morning. Most spots will be in the knee-waist high range with some chest high+ sets at the standouts. W-NW winds will get a jump on things pretty early so expect sloppier conditions moving in by midmorning and just getting worse as we head into the afternoon.
Sunday conditions clean up, though we will still have some tide issues in the morning. We will also see some new WNW-NW swell (285-300) mixing in with the new windswell and a touch of S-SW swell. Wave heights will build into the waist-shoulder high range for most of the exposed spots and chest-head high sets at the standouts. Winds will start off light offshore and then shift variable onshore around 10-13 knots for the afternoon.

Ventura Surf Forecast - for Wednesday - 2/3/2010
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.
Look for the new WNW-NW swell to peak on Wednesday. Most WNW facing breaks will be in the chest-head high range with a few of the top spots in South of the County seeing some overhead sets (and maybe a little bigger) on the lower tides. Points and reefs will have the best shape but expect them to be smaller than the well exposed beach breaks.
Winds will be light NW-NNW for the morning…mostly below 5 knots. WNW winds build up to the 10-15 knot range for the afternoon. Cloudy skies and a little drizzle are on tap for most of the day.

Ventura Surf Forecast - for Tuesday - 2/2/2010
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 WNW-NW swell will fill in through the day…showing more toward the afternoon but possibly helping out the surf a little bit in the morning as well. Early in the day look for waist-chest high+ surf for most of the average WNW facing spots. Standout breaks will be more in the chest-shoulder high range with a couple of head high sets now and then. By the afternoon the swell fills in a bit more and the top breaks will start to push more into the shoulder-head high range with a few overhead sets mixing in by sunset.
Winds look good for the morning…mostly light and variable to light ESE. Winds shift more S-SW onshore around 10-12 knots for the afternoon. Chance of light showers developing overnight into Wednesday.

Ventura County Surf Forecast – The Weekend – More WNW-NW swell
The Swell
Saturday starts off with some new WNW-NW swell (280-300) starting to show early in the day but not getting a ton of new size on the beach for the morning. The WNW-NW builds in through Saturday afternoon and peaks throughout the day on Sunday. Small, much less consistent, SW energy (200-220) holds in the background.
Waves
Saturday will start off a little slow through the early morning…but the new swell will be just starting to show. Still we will have enough energy from the previous swell for the average spots to hold on to waist-chest high sets, while the standouts see some chest-shoulder high+ waves. Look for bigger and more consistent surf to fill in through the afternoon, likely putting some head high+ sized sets in before dark.
The WNW-NW’er peaks on Sunday with consistent chest-head high surf at the average exposed breaks. Top NW facing spots…mostly from central county southward will have some shoulder-head high+ surf fairly consistently and sets going a couple of feet overhead at times. Looks like points and reefs will have the best shape but expect smaller less consistent sets in those areas.
Winds
Mostly light winds Saturday morning but starting to increase out of the NW pretty early. Look for NW winds 10-14 knots by midmorning and gusts hitting 20 knots by the afternoon.
Sunday the winds will be light and variable to N-NE around 10-12 knots…depending on how exposed your spots are. Look for the usual onshore afternoon winds out of the NW 10-15 knots.
