Ventura Surf Forecast - For Friday - 1/15/10

Make sure to read the full region forecast...it will help this one make sense, (Not promising any miracles though). Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.

The swell will be fading on Friday but the leftovers will still have plenty of size. Look for most spots to hold around the shoulder-head high+ range with sets going a couple of feet overhead at times. The standout South County breaks will be more in the head high to overhead+ range pretty consistently with some bigger waves going a few feet overhead on the best sets. Points and reefs will have the best shape…but the morning tide may make them a little funky at times.

Look for clean conditions with E winds around 10-15+ knots for the morning and some gusts near 20+ knots near passes and canyons. It will be pretty chilly in the morning but hopefully it will warm up through the middle of the day. Look for light and variable winds through the afternoon…likely keeping things pretty surfable throughout the day.

Waves
Look for most spots to hold surf in the waist-chest high range…a little inconsistent on sets at times but still fun when they show. Top NW facing spots, mostly through the south half of the county, will have some chest-shoulder high waves with some inconsistent head high sets.

N-NE winds around 10-15 knots for the morning with some gusts hitting in the 20-25 knot range in the wind prone areas. NW winds around 10-12 knots develop for the afternoon and then back down slowly through the afternoon.
