Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 2/6-2/7/2010

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.

Saturday will see new W-WNW swell filling in through the morning…pretty mixed up and hacked up thanks to S-SE winds but building in size nonetheless. Look for average spots to build into the chest-head high range with some overhead sets showing at the top spots by the afternoon.

Saturday winds and weather are looking a bit stormy with S-SE winds 10-15 knots showing across the county for the morning and then gusts hitting up around 20-25+ knots for the afternoon. Expect rain and possibly thunderstorms pushing throughout the day.

Sunday we will have some more WNW-NW swell fill into the mix…building on top of the steady W-WNW storm swell. Look for average spots to be in the shoulder-overhead+ range while the standout exposed breaks, mostly through South County, see some sets hitting a couple of feet overhead at times. Shape won’t be great thanks to the mixing lumpy swells and building WNW winds…but there may be a couple of pockets hiding out at the really protected breaks.

Sunday winds shift more to the WNW around 10-15 knots for the morning and gusts nearing 20-knots for the afternoon. Drier conditions overall but not much in the way of clean surf thanks to the new, lamer, wind direction.

Here are the tides…
