Santa Barbara Surf Forecast – Thursday – WNW-NW swell peaks

The Swell
WNW-NW swell (280-300 but with most of the energy around 290-300) will peak on Thursday as it mixes with some background SW swell (200-220).



Waves

Look for most spots to be in the knee-waist high+ range tomorrow…with some less consistent chest high+ sets showing on either side of the high-tide peak. The top NW exposed spots, mostly down near the south end of the county, will be in the waist-shoulder high range with some plus sets sneaking through on the lower tides.

Winds
Look for N-NE winds around 10-15 knots with gusts getting into the 20 knot range at passes and canyons. Light winds below 10-12 knots are expected for the afternoon…with some onshore bump showing at the more wind prone spots.
