Sunday, January 7th Southern California 7 Day Surf Forecast

Here's your So Cal 7-day surf forecast starting tomorrow.

We're anticipating a solid swell mix for Monday, with waist-chest high waves at most beaches, heading high to slightly overhead early on. Do be prepared for a crisp, clean morning with an offshore flow. There could be slight decline through the day, so it's a good day to hit the winter stalwarts early.

Come Tuesday, expect a small, clean combo as the wind lightens. The swell mix continues to drop but we have a modest SSW swell blending in. This is bringing in waist-stomach high waves at average breaks, with some standout regions potentially pushing a bit higher. It's best to get in that morning session as the winds stay light until early afternoon.

Wednesday sees a slight increase in size as a new, shorter period NW swell rolls in. This should create a fun little window at the inner bars of some beachbreaks early morning as the tide drops a bit.

Thursday, we have potential for a storm, which could mean some decent shorter-period NW swell. We are still refining the details of this though, as the storm track can greatly affect the surf size.

Friday may see a brief slowdown in longer period swell, but fear not. We are already keeping an eye on potential for stronger surf further into the month.

Saturday looks to be chest high max at most west-facing spots, and Sunday wraps up the week with chest+ ground swell at west-facing breaks, winds are still in question though.

Monday, January 15, so far seems to be lining up to be quite similar.

From this week's forecast, the best days to catch some good surf seem to be Monday, January 8 and Thursday, January 11.
