Here's your So Cal 7-day surf forecast starting tomorrow.
On Wednesday 17th, expect a decent West North West swell, pushing through to Thursday. Wave sizes will range from knee-waist high for most locations, with shoulder high surf at standout spots such as Ventura, the South Bay, and San Diego. There'll be light wind conditions in the morning, turning westerly in the late morning and afternoon.
Rolling into Thursday, the surf's up a bit more with another West North West swell joining the party. Most surfers at better breaks can expect waves in the chest-shoulder high range. Breaks in Southern Ventura, the South Bay, and South San Diego will enjoy the best swell, hitting head high to slightly overhead. Winds are expected to shift to a mild onshore breeze by midday.
As we move into Friday the 19th, we're looking at a slow fading but still entertaining West North West swell. Conditions might turn cloudy with possible rain towards the weekend.
The weekend has a big swell on the horizon. A mid to longer-period West North West swell fills in on Saturday, with a peak on Sunday, promising a consistent head high surf at many spots and easily overhead waves at better breaks.
For the following Monday and Tuesday, it's all about winding down from the big weekend swell.
From all the forecasts, Thursday 18th, and Sunday 21st will be the two best surf days based on surf height and conditions.
