Thursday, January 4th Southern California 7 Day Surf Forecast

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

Friday the 5th, we're expecting a head high to slightly larger surf as a WNW/NW swell starts to build up. You'll find the cleanest conditions in the morning with a light offshore flow.

Entering the weekend, Saturday the 6th, a fresh round of NW swell is set to advance in the morning, offering widespread surf in the waist-chest high range. As we progress through the day, a few spots could run up to several feet overhead, particularly as the tide pulls back and more swell moves in. Enjoy a clean morning of surfing, as wind trends to onshore flow in the afternoon.

On Sunday the 7th, anticipate a jump in surf size with a high offshore pressure interacting with a storm. This will result in a mixed NW swell, which will start to decline from Monday the 8th but still provide good surf conditions with offshore flow.

As we go into the week, expect a slowdown in surf activity from Tuesday the 9th to Wednesday the 10th, with surf sticking to about chest high at west facing breaks.

By Thursday the 11th, the swell is expected to anticipate, with a promising wind swell treating surfers to head high waves at west facing breaks.

For this week, the best days to surf based on surf height and conditions would be Friday the 5th and Saturday the 6th.
