Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - For Thursday - 1/14/10

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.

More solid surf on tap for Thursday but it looks like local winds will be a bit of a pain in the ass…and we have yet another morning high tide to punch through as well. Winds will be out the NW around 10-15+ knots for the morning with some gusts up to about 20+ knots at the really open spots. The wind direction isn’t a completely horrible one for Santa Barbara…there will still be some protected spots, both from the wind and the swell, if you hunt around you will be able to find something to ride.

Sizewise 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 will continue to be in the head high to a couple of feet overhead range…with some well overhead waves sneaking in as well.

The winds are set to improve by the end of the day…gradually shifting to the N or even NNE by the evening, so keep an eye on conditions…there is a chance for some clean-up around sunset. Hope you guys get a few…stay safe!
