Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/27-3/28/2010

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 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.

Here are the tides…
