This blog isn’t updating the forecast anymore, all of that has been pushed over to the new site. Here are a few of the links that will hopefully help you find some waves (and hopefully good conditions too.)<br /><br />For those of you that just wanted the forecast without any of the bells and whistles…The same ol’ Socal Forecast can be found here (this is the normal forecast for all of Southern California and generally gives you all the info you need to find surf for the next day)<br /><br /><a href="http://surf.solspot.com/content/category/short-range-forecast">http://surf.solspot.com/content/category/short-range-forecast</a><br /><br />Here is the link to my long-range forecasts where you can find all the details you need to plan your surf sessions for the next several days, and some even longer range outlooks that can give you a heads up on incoming swells.<br /><br /><a href="http://surf.solspot.com/content/category/long-range-forecast">http://surf.solspot.com/content/category/long-range-forecast</a><br /><br />Since the Southern California coastline is all jacked up (uh I mean unique)…we took the forecast and broke it down into a bunch of different “zones” that help to show how much swell, what sort of wind, and how the tides are going to affect the different regions.<br /><br /><a href="http://surf.solspot.com/activity/surf/sub-region/index.php?id=8" target="_blank">Santa Barbara</a><br /><a href="http://surf.solspot.com/activity/surf/sub-region/index.php?id=7" target="_blank">Ventura</a><br /><a href="http://surf.solspot.com/activity/surf/sub-region/index.php?id=6" target="_blank">North LA</a><br /><a href="http://surf.solspot.com/activity/surf/sub-region/index.php?id=5" target="_blank">the South Bay</a><br /><a href="http://surf.solspot.com/activity/surf/sub-region/index.php?id=4" target="_blank">North Orange County</a><br /><a href="http://surf.solspot.com/activity/surf/sub-region/index.php?id=3" target="_blank">South Orange County</a><br /><a href="http://surf.solspot.com/activity/surf/sub-region/index.php?id=2" target="_blank">North San Diego</a><br /><a href="http://surf.solspot.com/activity/surf/sub-region/index.php?id=1" target="_blank">South San Diego</a><br /><br />If that wasn’t enough we even put together a pretty comprehensive list of the surf breaks and beaches in each region. These aren’t surf reports, but they give very specific weather, wind, tides, water-quality, and a bunch of other cool stuff. When you first drop onto a spot page you will see “Current or Live” information, but if you click around you can find all kinds of cool stuff (like hour-by-hour wind forecasts going out for a full week…just the thing you need to plan a midday session if the winds lay down.) Check em out when you get a chance…<br /><br /><b>Santa Barbara County Spots</b><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=9188177714352932222" target="_blank" county="" california=""

Barbara Surf Forecast - for Tuesday - 3/30/2010<em>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 <a href="http://www.socalsurf.com/" target="_blank">www.socalsurf.com</a>.</em><br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />Here are the tides…<br /><br />03/30/2010 Tuesday <br />04:27AM LDT -0.7 L <br />10:37AM LDT 4.9 H <br />04:21PM LDT 0.3 L <br />10:37PM LDT 6.0 HAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12486282789841401406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553472231220586249.post-68254755398532258362010-03-28T16:17:00.000-07:002010-03-28T16:19:41.560-07:00Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - for Monday - 3/29/2010SB<br /><br /><em>Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions.

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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />Here are the tides…<br /><br />03/29/2010 Monday <br />03:42AM LDT -0.4 L <br />09:49AM LDT 5.2 H <br />03:48PM LDT -0.2 L <br />10:04PM LDT 5.9 HAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12486282789841401406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553472231220586249.post-49936015693532597672010-03-26T14:00:00.000-07:002010-03-26T14:01:02.212-07:00Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 3/27-3/28/2010<em>Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions.

Weather and winds will be nice…hopefully enough of the surf will hold on so that we get to enjoy them.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Winds on Sunday will be good…NE around 10-knots for the morning and then W winds around 10-12 knots by the afternoon.

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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />Here are the tides…<br /><br />03/26/2010 Friday <br />01:16AM LDT 1.7 L <br />07:16AM LDT 5.3 H <br />02:03PM LDT -0.7 L <br />08:31PM LDT 4.5 HAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12486282789841401406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553472231220586249.post-39768923303413680592010-03-24T15:02:00.000-07:002010-03-24T15:03:13.003-07:00Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - for Thursday - 3/25/2010<em>Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions.

Unfortunately conditions don’t look great since the wind comes right along with the windswell. <br /><br />Most spots will be in the knee-waist high range with some inconsistent bigger sets pushing in on the afternoon tide push.

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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />Here are the tides…<br /><br />03/20/2010 Saturday <br />12:11AM LDT 5.1 H <br />07:22AM LDT 0.4 L <br />01:37PM LDT 2.7 H <br />05:59PM LDT 2.1 L <br /><br />03/21/2010 Sunday <br />12:51AM LDT 5.0 H <br />08:35AM LDT 0.5 L <br />03:28PM LDT 2.5 H <br />06:18PM LDT 2.5 LAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12486282789841401406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553472231220586249.post-26423093373266194142010-03-18T18:03:00.001-07:002010-03-18T18:03:52.622-07:00Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - for Friday - 3/19/2010<em>Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions.

There still isn’t a bunch of energy sneaking in but there are some occasional fun sets showing at the really NW exposed spots.<br /><br />Expect most spots to see surf in the knee-waist high range with a couple rare waist-chest high+ sets.

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.<br /><br />Expect most spots to see surf in the flat-ankle high range with a couple rare knee high sets.

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.<br /><br />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.

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.<br /><br />Here are the tides…<br /><br />03/06/2010 Saturday <br />01:03AM LST 4.9 H <br />08:49AM LST 0.5 L <br />03:50PM LST 2.6 H <br />06:52PM LST 2.6 L <br /><br />03/07/2010 Sunday <br />02:13AM LST 4.5 H <br />10:30AM LST 0.5 L <br />06:25PM LST 2.9 H <br />08:57PM LST 3.0 LAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12486282789841401406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553472231220586249.post-63091540419566833142010-03-03T15:09:00.001-08:002010-03-03T15:09:39.688-08:00Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - for Thursday 3/4/2010<em>Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions.

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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />Here are the tides…<br /><br />03/04/2010 Thursday <br />06:13AM LST 0.1 L <br />12:18PM LST 3.6 H <br />05:37PM LST 1.4 LAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12486282789841401406noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553472231220586249.post-70799327100318153722010-02-26T15:54:00.000-08:002010-02-26T15:55:12.127-08:00Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - Weekend Waves - 2/27-2/28/2010<em>Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions.

Really it will probably be a better morning to surf the pillow for a little longer. Expect S-SW winds 10-15 knots with some 20-25 knot gusts and more rain/thunderstorms and other nonsense.<br /><br />By Saturday afternoon a new W-NW swell (275-300) starts to arrive and come up fast…though conditions still look pretty crappy. I expect that the average spots will be in the shoulder-head high+ range by the end of the day…standout NW facing spots will have more consistent overhead and overhead+ sets. <br /><br />Sunday the W-NW’er will peak and winds will back down shifting more to the WNW-NW and holding around 10-15 knots for the morning. The surf will be solid in the head high to overhead+ range for most of the average spots and sets going a few feet overhead and bigger at the WNW-NW facing standouts. The tide is still pretty high in the morning but there will be a lot of energy rolling around and it will have a good shot at breaking through the extra water. Even with the winds there should be enough waves and swell that the more protected breaks will work and will probably be cleaner since they don’t have as much exposure to the wind and chunkiness of the swell. <br /><br />Here are the tides…<br /><br />02/27/2010 Saturday <br />01:59AM LST 0.9 L <br />08:09AM LST 6.3 H <br />02:50PM LST -1.4 L <br />09:09PM LST 4.9 H <br /><br />02/28/2010 Sunday <br />02:47AM LST 0.4 L <br />08:55AM LST 6.2 H <br />03:24PM LST -1.1 L <br />09:42PM LST 5.3 HAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12486282789841401406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553472231220586249.post-27962449535792099212010-02-25T15:29:00.000-08:002010-02-25T15:30:18.862-08:00Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - for Friday - 2/26/2010<em>Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions.

Standout South County breaks will be in the chest-head high range with some inconsistent overhead sets sneaking in on the lower tides. <br /><br />Winds will be light and variable through the morning but look for S-SE flow to start to increase around midmorning…and then S-SE winds around 10-15+ knots by the afternoon. Onshore S winds will increase through the evening and we will have some sloppy 20-30 knot gusts after midnight and holding into Saturday morning.<br /><br />Here are the tides…<br /><br />02/26/2010 Friday <br />01:10AM LST 1.6 L <br />07:20AM LST 6.2 H <br />02:15PM LST -1.4 L <br />08:38PM LST 4.5 HAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12486282789841401406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553472231220586249.post-69553964450498052212010-02-24T15:25:00.000-08:002010-02-24T15:26:17.714-08:00Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - for Thursday - 2/25/2010<em>Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions.

Look for most exposed spots to be in the waist-chest high range with some inconsistent chest-head high sets showing at the well exposed NW spots down in South County. <br /><br />Weather doesn’t look great…WNW-NW-N winds are expected to develop late on Wednesday and will possibly hold over into Thursday morning. At this point it looks like we will see some WNW-N winds around 10-15 knots in the morning and then some 15-20 knot gusts arriving through the afternoon. Hopefully the winds will be bit more Northerly through the morning so that most of the SB spots stay fairly clean. Don’t drive a ton tomorrow if the winds look bad, but keep an eye on things and see if we can dodge the wind bullet in the morning. <br /><br />Here are the tides…<br /><br />02/25/2010 Thursday <br />12:15AM LST 2.2 L <br />06:28AM LST 5.9 H <br />01:38PM LST -1.1 L <br />08:09PM LST 4.0 HAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12486282789841401406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553472231220586249.post-83171829341290916402010-02-23T15:28:00.000-08:002010-02-23T15:30:17.618-08:00Santa Barbara Surf Forecast - for Wednesday - 2/24/2010<em>Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions.

Our surf will continue to be a mix of leftover WNW-NW energy. Expect surf in the knee-waist high range for most of the exposed spots…standout spots will be in the waist-chest high range. Best shape will be at the points/reefs but the swell mix is small enough that there will be a few playful sections at the beach breaks as well. If conditions don’t totally fall apart it looks like there may be a few new WNW lines sneaking in by the end of the day…the periods are pretty long so you will want to stick close to Ventura…but it would be worth keeping an eye on things if the winds don’t get too bad. <br /><br />Clean conditions on tap for the morning with mostly light offshore winds for the county and a few pockets of light and variable flow at the more protected spots. Look for SW-W winds around 15-20 knots by the afternoon.
