Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 2/20-2/21/2010

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 W storm swells moves in overnight and peaks on Saturday before slowly fading on Sunday. Winds and weather will come along with it…but we might see semi-surfable conditions in some areas early on Saturday.

At this point look for surf in the chest-head high range for most of the “average” W facing breaks. Standout W-WNW facing spots will be in the shoulder-overhead range with some sets going a couple of feet overhead at times.

Saturday morning winds are forecast to be semi-onshore…but the models aren’t really all that certain. There is a chance that we will have S-SE winds early in the morning, so there may be a few pockets of cleaner conditions at the protected spots. Look for W winds 10-20+ knots to develop by Saturday afternoon and hold through most of Sunday. It will be raining both days.

Here are the tides…
