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.
Here are the tides…

In your professional opinion, at this point, what do you think the conditions will be like in SB this weekend. Full on storm or pockets of sunshine like the last few storms have turned out to be?
