AK's Sure Shot Surf Report

Swell Direction: 285, DOH (Top spots in SoCal)
Swell Interval: 18+ sec.
Secondary Swell: 195 chest high
Peak Day: Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning
Weather: Sunshine and light winds

Looks like we have a nice swell on it’s way just in time for the weekend. A high pressure system is building in over the SW so it looks like light winds along with sunshine can be expected for the weekend. With this swell the Mavericks contest has been given the green light to be run this Sat. Check www.maverickssurf.com to get updates on what’s going down. Matuse Family Member, Jamie Sterling, is in Heat #4. We’re wishing him the best of luck for the contest.

So Saturday looks like a building swell day for Southern California. Surf spots north of Point Conception will be getting the brunt of the swell maxing out at 20-25ft. Top spots in Southern California look to see DOH sets. There is a small chest high SW (195) swell in the water but it will be mostly overshadowed by the WNW in the water this weekend. This swell has a lot of west in it coming from 285 so pick your spots accordingly. Intervals will be long packing plenty of juice, so surf spots to your level. The swell should taper off the second half of Sunday and into the early part of next week. The next swell looks like it might be coming by the end of next week (Feb 19 & 20th). Have fun and be safe.
