WNW-NW swell and local WNW windswell (280-300) will be on the rise on Tuesday...conditions look sloppy too thanks to the winds setting up the windswell. There may be a few semi-protected spots here and there but expect them to be smaller since they won’t be as exposed to the windswell.
Most spots will be in the knee-waist high range with some inconsistent chest high sets on the lower tides. Standouts will have some chest-shoulder high+ waves with a few bigger sets by the end of the day.
W winds are supposed to get an early jump on things…starting off around 10-12 knots for the morning and then quickly building into the 12-20 knot range by the afternoon. Patchy fog and cooler air temps will also be on tap throughout the day.

Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - for Monday - 3/29/2010
SB
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 (285-300 with the prime portion of the swell coming in 290-300) will be filling in throughout the day. Some of the energy will already be on the rise in the morning but it will be getting bigger as the swell builds and the tide drops off.
For the morning look for most exposed spots to be in the knee-waist high range with some chest high+ sets showing at the top NW spots. Shape will be a bit swampy thanks to the high morning tide. By the afternoon the average spots will be more in the waist-chest high range while the standouts see some shoulder high sets. The local wind and windswell will also be on the rise by the afternoon…so while we get some bigger sets shape will start to get pretty hacked up.
Winds will be fairly light in the morning...with a little bit of a N-NW tint to it...not enough to junk it up but still enough to get some texture on the exposed spots. WNW-NW winds around 13-15+ knots will be on tap for the afternoon.

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.
The WNW-NW swell (280-300) that came up on Friday will hold into Saturday morning and then slowly fade through the day…and continue to fade through Sunday. Weather and winds will be nice…hopefully enough of the surf will hold on so that we get to enjoy them.
Saturday look for the average breaks to hold in the knee-waist high range with some inconsistent chest high sets showing as the tide drops through the morning. Top spots will be in the waist-chest high range with some inconsistent shoulder high sets showing after we get around the tide.
Winds will be NE 10-15 knots on Saturday morning…then turn onshore out of the W-WNW around 10-15 knots for the afternoon.
Sunday will be smaller…mostly knee high surf at the average spots and some waist high+ sets at the standouts. Look for the tide to really swamp things out in the morning but there should be enough swell in the water to find a micro-line to ride once it drops later in the day.
Winds on Sunday will be good…NE around 10-knots for the morning and then W winds around 10-12 knots by the afternoon. Sunny skies and warm beach temps at the more sheltered areas.

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.
The surf continues to increase as new WNW-NW swell (280-300) and local WNW-NW windswell fill in a bit more. The high tide might be a bit too much for many spots early in the morning but things could be pretty playful as it starts to even out.
Look for most spots to hold in the waist-chest high range on the sets…with a few bigger waves mixing in on the lower tides. The best spots, with the steeper NW exposure, will be in the chest-shoulder high range with some inconsistent head high sets on the lower tides.
It looks like winds will be pretty steady/strong just a ways out to sea…but the nearshore stuff should be a bit cleaner than what we saw on Thursday. Look for variable N-NW winds around 5-10 knots for the morning (more northerly than anything right around sunrise)...so look for the cleanest conditions at spots that have a little more protection from those directions. The winds will shift more WNW-NW around 10-20 knots for the afternoon.

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.
Wave heights come up a bit on Thursday as a mix of building NW swell (290-300) and NW windswell fill in throughout the day. Unfortunately conditions don’t look great since the wind comes right along with the windswell.
Most spots will be in the knee-waist high range with some inconsistent bigger sets pushing in on the afternoon tide push. Standout WNW-NW facing spots will be in the waist-chest high range with some bigger shoulder high+ sets showing by late in the day.
Winds will be out of the W-WNW around 10-knots for the morning and then will increase 15-25 knots+ by the afternoon.

Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/20-3/21/2010
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.
On Saturday we will see mostly leftover WNW-NW energy…sort of mix of the steeper NW swell from earlier in the week and some of the local windswell that has brewed up the last couple of days. Most spots will be on the small side with surf in the ankle-knee high range with some inconsistent knee-waist high sets. The standout NW facing spots…mostly in south county…will have some more waist-chest high waves showing on the lower tides.
Sunday a new WNW-NW swell (285-300) fills in and wave heights come up slightly…but mostly the “push” and the consistency of the surf will improve. We can still expect a lot of spots to be in the knee-waist high range while the standouts see waist-chest high surf and some occasional bigger sets that sneak in.
Both days look pretty clean during the mornings. Expect light and variable winds for most spots and a few areas with some very light offshore flow. It looks like we will be fighting a bit of a marine layer…maybe even some patchy fog…so don’t be surprised if visibility isn’t always that good. The winds should stay on the light side through the afternoons on both Saturday and Sunday…but expect the sea-breeze to develop enough to driving some variable 10-12 knot onshore flow into the more exposed spots.

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.
The WNW-NW energy backs off a touch on Friday but still manages to send some playful waves into the well exposed spots. Look for average breaks to hold around knee-waist high while the standout NW facing spots, mostly the beach breaks, see some chest high+ sets.
Look for light/variable to light offshore winds in the morning with some stronger gusts near passes and Canyons. Winds stay pretty light through the afternoon…expect variable onshore flow around 10 knots for most areas.

The WNW-NW swell turns a little more westerly and the swell periods shorten up on Thursday…both of which are good things for SB spots. There still isn’t a bunch of energy sneaking in but there are some occasional fun sets showing at the really NW exposed spots.
Expect most spots to see surf in the knee-waist high range with a couple rare waist-chest high+ sets. A few of the best NW exposed spots, mostly in south county, will have some inconsistent shoulder high sets.
Look for mostly light and variable winds in the morning with some pockets of light offshore winds in a few spots. These winds will hold through mid-morning but then turn westerly around lunch and will eventually peak around 10-15+ knots by late afternoon.

Look for really clean, nearly flat, leftover surf on Wednesday. Yeah there are 2 new swells in the water but neither of them will be able to push much (any) energy into SB. Most of our surf will be from leftover local windswell and with the winds going mostly offshore the weak swell will be dropping fast.
Expect most spots to see surf in the flat-ankle high range with a couple rare knee high sets. A few of the best NW exposed spots will be more in the ankle-knee high range with some inconsistent waist high+ range.
Winds and weather look pretty nice again on Wednesday. Mostly sunny skies with some light/variable to light offshore winds on tap for the morning. Variable onshore winds around the 10-14 knot range will develop through the afternoon.

Saturday look for mostly small, tide swamped, surf in the morning. Most spots will be in the ankle-knee high range with some waist high sets at the standouts. W-NW winds will get a jump on things pretty early so expect sloppier conditions moving in by midmorning and just getting worse as we head into the afternoon.
Sunday conditions clean up, though we will still have some tide issues in the morning. We will also see some new WNW-NW swell (285-300) mixing in with the new windswell (and a touch of S-SW swell that filters into the really exposed spots). Wave heights will build into the knee-waist high range for most of the exposed spots and chest-high+ sets at the standouts down in South County. Winds will start off light offshore and then shift variable onshore around 10-13 knots for the afternoon.

Just some NW windswell leftovers and some background WNW-NW swell on tap for Friday. Look for nearly flat conditions for the morning as we shuffle through the high AM tide. As the tide drops most spots can expect surf in the ankle-knee high range with a few inconsistent waist high sets showing at the top WNW-NW windswell spots.
Look for NE winds around 10 knots for the morning with the potential for some 15 knot gusts near the wind-prone passes and canyons. Those winds shift to the W-NW around 10-15 knots for the afternoon.

Look for some ankle-knee high surf for the morning with a few waist high+ sets at the standouts down near the Ventura county line. The windswell does blip up a bit through the afternoon but expect pretty sloppy conditions to go along with it.
A weak cold front moves through Monday night and helps set up some NW winds for Tuesday. Look for WNW-NW winds around 10-12 knots for the morning and then gusts hitting 15-25 knots by the afternoon.
Here are the tides…

Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/6-3/7/2010
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 looks fun but small…just leftover WNW-NW swell and some shadowed SW/NW swell. Most spots will be in the knee-high range…with some knee-waist high+ sets at the best standout breaks. Light and variable winds for the morning and then stormy S-SW winds 10-20 knots and increasing rain for the afternoon.
Sunday will be a little funky…still some rain and storm on tap for the morning but overall it looks like light/variable winds for most of the region. The surf doesn’t really shift up all that much but there may be a touch more local windswell helping to add a few inches at the well exposed spots.

Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - for Thursday 3/4/2010
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.
The swell will be dropping on Thursday but the shorter swell periods on the tail end of this WNW-NW pulse will help more energy sneak into Santa Barbara. Unfortunately the swell direction is still a little steep so expect to find the biggest waves down in the southern parts of the county and progressively smaller surf as you move north/west.
Sizewise we can expect surf in the chest-shoulder high range at the better WNW facing spots and some head high sets sneaking into the better NW facing breaks through the morning low-tide. Look for less size and consistency for the afternoon.
Winds will be NW around 10-15 knots for the morning, which doesn’t totally blow out everything…I wouldn’t spend a lot of time looking for waves but it could be worth checking those little protected nuggets in the morning. NW winds 15-20 knots will move in through the afternoon.
