Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/13-3/14/2010

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 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.

Here are the tides…
