There is wind blown waist to head high wind swell energy to be found at exposed beaches. The surf is forecast to go even smaller again Sunday. New motion in the ocean will come in the form of a  WNW swell on Monday with chest to over head surf at exposed beaches like OB San Francisco and waist to head high surf in Santa Cruz. The swell is forecast to fade Tuesday but hangs around providing some fun waves through Wednesday and then the trend goes small again.26th ave Birds Flat Small Fall 2013

WNW Swell in Surf Forecast to End the Fall Flat Spell

After Fogust flatness, September not to remember, October smallness, and November flat spell, we finally have some action showing in the surf forecast. The surf will remain on the very small scale until Wednesday when we will see a small increase in NWN swell providing knee to chest high surf in Santa Cruz and up to head high at exposed beaches like OB in San Francisco. The swell actually picks up to 5-10 foot in Santa Cruz and over double over-head at beaches that are open to this new WNW swell on Thursday. The trend goes smaller from there but there will still be fun waves to be found into the end of the forecast period.

NW Swells in the Surf Forecast

The first NS swell pulse is already hitting the outer buoys. It will start showing along Central California coast lines through the day on Sunday providing knee to chest high surf in Santa Cruz and growing to over-head at Northern exposed beaches like San Francisco’s Ocean Beach. This swell peaks Monday with head high surf in Santa Cruz and well over head at NW facing beaches. The trend goes smaller through the week but will still provide fun sized waves in the knee to chest high in Santa Cruz and up to head high at exposed regions. The next NW swell is expected to arrive Friday and will be similar to the 1st one. Weather continues to be mild; enjoy!

WNW Swells in the Forecast

This weekend will continue on the very small scale. The faint SSW and NW swells will wane barely provide 1 foot waves in Santa Cruz and only at the lower tides early and late in the day. Exposed beach breaks will be the best bets this weekend but only have 2-3 waves on offer. A new WNW wind swell will show Monday with 3 foot surf in Santa Cruz and waist to chest high surf at exposed beaches like Ocean Beach San Francisco. Tuesday will have a WNW ground swell on top of the wind swell with improved size of 3-5 foot in Santa Cruz and 5-9 foot along Westerly facing beaches. The trend then goes smaller but still better than the most of October has been so far.

SSW Swells in the Surf Forecast

A small scale SSW swell is combining with some new WNW wind swell energy to provide knee to waist high surf in Santa Cruz and knee to chest high mixed up waves in San Francisco. Both swells are expected wane through the week but the SSW will still send occasional little waves to our coastline. Next swell is forecast to arrive next weekend with waist to chest high surf and occasional head high in Santa Cruz and some over-head surf at more exposed beaches.
