Short-Term Surf Forecast

2:52 PM - 1 Comments

According to Surfline "W and S swells top out Sun-Mon. NW/WNW swells blend in."

Sunday (May 2nd): S swell tops out, NW/WNW blend mixing in. 3-5’ waves good spots, 6’+ sets top breaks OC. Southerly wind for OC/SD.
SSW/S and small SW swells top out as a mix of old NW and fresh WNW swells mixes in. The better SSW and combo exposed breaks of North LA see waist-chest-head high surf and the winter breaks that need NW energy see similar size to Saturday with the transitioning swells. Top summer and combo spots are slightly overhead on the bigger sets. Spots from LA through SB see cleaner surf from lighter/variable wind in the morning, trending onshore out of the W in the afternoon.

Monday, May 3rd: S swell holdst, NW/WNW blend mixing in. 3-5’ waves good spots, 6’ sets top breaks OC. Light AM wind.
SSW/S swell holds along with longer period WNW swell, as shorter-period (and larger) NW swell mix fades. The better SSW and combo exposed breaks of North LA see waist-chest-head high surf in the morning. Top summer and combo spots are slightly overhead on the bigger sets. Winds are light/variable across Southern California setting up a much cleaner morning window for all areas with a decent combo on tap. Wind trends onshore from the SW/W for the afternoon then should lighten back up in the evening.
