Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - For Wednesday - 1/13/10

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.

Looking pretty solid for Wednesday…the new swell will be filling in fast through the morning, likely moving into its peak around lunchtime (since SB is further NW than the other regions). Swell periods will be a bit long at first so expect a little shiftiness and inconsistency at some breaks (particularly some of the point breaks). Still as the swell builds and the periods shorten up size and consistency will improve.

Look for most of the average W facing breaks to hold in the shoulder-head high range with sets going a couple of feet overhead. Standout WNW facing spots, that like longer-periods, will be in the head high to a couple of feet overhead range…with some well overhead waves sneaking in as well. It will be a race between the dropping tide and the increasing wind…I would try and stick to spots that can handle a little extra water.

Light and variable to slightly offshore/sideshore winds set up clean conditions for the morning. Some scattered drizzle and WNW-NW winds around 10-15 knots move in through the afternoon.
