Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - for Friday - 3/26/2010

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 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.

Here are the tides…
