Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - for Thursday - 2/25/2010

Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.

New WNW-NW swell (280-300 with fairly long-periods, which isn’t the greatest for SB) fills in and peaks on Thursday along with a touch of SW swell that holds in the background (and is mostly shadowed). Look for most exposed spots to be in the waist-chest high range with some inconsistent chest-head high sets showing at the well exposed NW spots down in South County.

Weather doesn’t look great…WNW-NW-N winds are expected to develop late on Wednesday and will possibly hold over into Thursday morning. At this point it looks like we will see some WNW-N winds around 10-15 knots in the morning and then some 15-20 knot gusts arriving through the afternoon. Hopefully the winds will be bit more Northerly through the morning so that most of the SB spots stay fairly clean. Don’t drive a ton tomorrow if the winds look bad, but keep an eye on things and see if we can dodge the wind bullet in the morning.

Here are the tides…
