The Wedge

Need more detail? View this map online

Description The Wedge is not a wave -- it's a 20-foot-plus meat grinder dreamed Best Tide: up by the devil himself. It heaves, bends and pulverizes in ways that deadly at all tides good little waves aren't supposed to act. The first time you swim or Best Swell Direction: paddle out on a solid day, a typical thought might be, "Dang, is my S, SW chiropractor covered in my medical plan?" Best Size: 6 to 20 feet The Wedge is a combination of two waves that merge together, thrusting into a titanic slingshot that breaks with enough pounds per Best Wind: square inch to send Stone Cold Steve Austin to the mat. It takes a E, NE south swell only, refracting the swell energy off the jetty and creating a Perfect-O-Meter: sideways wave that slings across the beach and mates with the next 9 (1=Lake Erie; 10=Jeffreys Bay) wave in the set. The result is what locals fittingly call a "humping Bottom: effect," where the set waves jack, expand and release in unimaginable sand ways. Ability Level: The key to a good Wedge wave is the right swell interval. If the interval advanced to psychotic is just right, the side wave will hit the main swell at the perfect Bring Your: moment, causing it to "wedge." Too short or too long an interval and camera and beach chair; or swim fins, the side wave will miss hitting the main peak. It's not uncommon to Speedos and insurance card see skimboarders, spongers and bodysurfers catching the side wave Best Season: before it collides, resulting in ozone-depleting aerials, monstrous summer tubes and insane wipeouts. Access: free street parking, but if it's pumping, Although the Wedge is perhaps the best-known bodysurfing spot in plan to walk the world, in recent years there's been an influx of stand-up surfers. What was once a novelty for guys like Danny Kwock back in the '80s is Crowd Factor: now serious business for pros like Strider Wasilewski, the Hobgood moderate twins and a long list of other challengers. Part of the reason for the Local Vibe: influx of hard goods is that the media -- both surf and mainstream -- quietly thuggish have been persistent in recording all the action. Every summer, there's Bicep Burn: guaranteed to be a center spread of some hapless fool getting 2 (1=1ft Waikiki; 10=15ft Ocean Beach) launched or a front-page shot on the Los Angeles Times of the Wedge at its nastiest. Despite the increased presence of fiberglass and foam, Poo Patrol: 10, if you include your own (1=clean; an alternative wave is best suited to an alternative approach, which is 10=turds in the lineup) why bodysurfers still rule the place. In fact, they literally rule the place -- thanks to a serious lobbying effort by the local skull-cap crew, Hazards: throughout the summer, no boards of any kind are allowed in the Broken body and board, death from impact water except in the early morning and late evening. So if you're feeling into the shallow bottom or on someone else suicidal, or just want to watch stand-up surfers and bodyboarders play demolition derby at one of the most breathtaking natural spectacles in Southern California, it's best to show up in the morning or late afternoon.

Corona del Mar

Description When planning a surf trip to Orange County, the last spot anyone Best Tide: thinks of is the Corona Del Mar Jetty, just south of the Newport medium Harbor entrance. And for a good reason: the place hardly ever breaks. Best Swell Direction: But when it does, it's second only to Newport Point on the SSE, S perfect-o-meter. Best Size: double overhead Three critical elements are necessary for the Corona Del Mar Jetty to work well. First, you need a massive southwest swell -- at least double Best Wind: overhead at Newport. Second, a prevailing offshore wind is needed to NE hold up the wave. Finally, a medium tide helps for length of ride. Perfect-O-Meter: 6-7 (1=Lake Erie; 10=Jeffreys Bay) During the El Nino year, the jetty broke during some of the pulsating Bottom: hurricane swells. On southwesterly mackers, the tip of the jetty creates sand, jetty long a right-hand wave that is carvable while the rest of the coastline closes out.

North Orange County Forecast

* This forecast was created on 10/28/11. Hey, this is Chris with your North Orange County Forecast effective Thursday afternoon .

FORECAST RECAP: Primary S-SSW Southern Hemisphere swell mix and a small,easing NW wind/groundswell was good for waist-shoulder-head high zone waves at the better exposures of SD and OC today, while top breaks in OC saw plus sets on the right tides. The well exposed spots in other areas were mainly in the knee-chest high range.

FORECAST OUTLOOK: FRIDAY - Primary south swell slowly fades through the day with trace NW swell leftovers. Look for waist-chest high surf at the better south exposed breaks, with occasional sets to shoulder-head at standouts early. Deep, near 7' high tide swamps out many spots much of the morning, then look for a drained out -1' low tide in the late afternoon. WEATHER/WIND - Light/variable winds in the morning, then west wind in the afternoon at 7-11kts.

Best Bet: Early morning or early afternoon session between tides at south exposed breaks before the wind comes up much.

Worst Bet: Although clean, most spots will be swamped out for much of the morning on the deep 7' high tide. Expect walled up conditions at the beachbreaks on the late afternoon negative low tide.

Fading old south swell, trace NW swell going into the weekend. Expect BIG TIDAL SWINGS. Check the full premium forecast below for more details and the long range outlook!

LONG RANGE FORECAST OUTLOOK WIND/WEATHER SYNOPSIS: Weak high pressure sets up over the region Friday through the weekend, with generally light and variable morning wind before light to moderate onshore W/WNW wind builds in the afternoons 7-11kts. Winds are due to stay on the light side through early next week.

SPECIAL TIDE NOTE: Big tidal swings through the rest of this week! Expect deep 6'+ to 7' high tides in the mid/late mornings, which will swamp out or even shut down many spots. Then a negative low tide will show in the late afternoon/early evenings for drained out conditions at many spots. Plan your sessions accordingly to the specific break's tide favor.

NORTH PACIFIC SWELL/SURF ACTIVITY: The current NW swell (295-300+ deg) mix fades to just small leftovers on Friday. We will see some new, extreme angled NW swell (300++) over the weekend and into early next week, but the vast majority of that swell will pass by. Top spots may see some waist high surf, but most breaks will stay below that.

Going further out, charts indicate that yet another high latitude NPAC storm will track through the Alaskan Gulf over the next few days, which could send a better bump of NW swell (295-300+ deg) to Southern CA around Nov 1st-2nd. Much of this swell will again bypass Southern California, but best breaks could see some fun sets. Stay tuned for updates as this storm/swell system develops.

TROPICS: All quiet at the moment.

SOUTH PACIFIC SWELL/SURF ACTIVITY: S groundswell mix 180-190 deg) will be easing on Friday, with the most size showing early. Look for 3-4' surf at the better exposures of North OC through select summer spots of South OC and SD, with a smaller share showing in Southern Ventura through North LA. Standout breaks (mainly of North OC) will produce occasional sets up to head high during the best tides. The trend towards smaller, fading surf continues through the weekend, for minor leftovers by Sunday.

Going further out, we'll see a long run of small SW to SSW swell (215-190) for the Halloween and the first few days of November, thanks to mostly zonal flow in the southwest Pacific lately. All of these swells look small, but will offer some rideable waves in the best area of Orange County (waist high and a little better at those good spots, smaller elsewhere).

Beyond that, it looks like we could get something a little better for the 5th-7th out of the SW/SSW (195-210) and then a stronger Southern Hemi around the 10th-12th. Stay tuned, we'll have more details on these potential swells in the next few days.

The location for Surfline's LOLA 7-Day Swell Model for this region is displayed on this map. LOLA will analyze all of the various wave and swell energy merging at this offshore location and will then identify each separate swell with its specific direction, height, and swell period. Only then can we accurately forecast the surf. LOLA will then calculate the surf heights from each swell, and will display the surf height of the single dominant swell at the top. This surf height will be a good representation of the typical surf heights throughout this region over the next 7 days. There will always be surf spots with smaller surf due to less exposure to the dominant swell, and other surf spots with larger surf due to greater exposure to the dominant swell. Local underwater bathymetry may also play a strong role in affecting surf heights throughout the region. Most important is to know what swells and potential surf is running so surfers can use their local knowledge and to explore to find the best surf in a region.

Open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., it's at the intersection of the 405 freeway and Interstate 5. Improv Comedy Night Club (4255 Campus Drive, Irvine, 949-8545455). Laugh, cry, throw rotten vegetables.

Corona del Mar

Places To Eat: Bandera Restaurant (3201 E. Coast Hwy, 949-673-3524) is for the rib lover. Prices are 7 to 20 bucks a plate. Try The Bungalow (2441 E. Coast Hwy, 949-673-6585) because according to the Orange County Register, "The Bungalow is too much of a good thing." We're not sure what that means, so you'll have to try it and see. The Quiet Woman (3224 E. Pacific Coast Hwy, 949-640-7440) is worth checking (for the name, if nothing else). The food is a mix of fresh seafood, lamb, steak, chicken, vegetables, pastas and burgers.

Things To Do: Go to South Coast Plaza (3333 Bristol Street, Costa Mesa). You name it, and it's here -- for twice the price! Go to Disneyland. From the John Wayne Airport, take Interstate 55 north to Interstate 5 north, exit at Harbor Boulevard, turn left going south, go over Interstate 5 and Disneyland will be on the right. Go to BMX Sheep Hills. Easily the finest BMX dirt jump track in the world. Locals aren't very friendly (especially after drinking a few 40 ouncers of Colt 45s), so enter track with caution and be prepared for a jaw-dropping experience. Take 55 south, exit Victoria and go right. The street turns into Hamilton; Sheep Hills will be on the left a mile down the road where there's a hole in the fence. Go see an Angel game at Anaheim stadium (714-634-2000).

With the growth of the Internet, users have many choices for surf and weather information but most swell models and ocean related products are tailored for boating and marine interests - not for surfers. Surfline decided to build our own custom swell models and other forecasting products to be specifically tailored for surfers.

Our LOLA Global Swell Model uses the NOAA's Wavewatch III software, and we run these models in-house after inputting our own blend of wind information and other data to create LOLA's unique wave information. Running our own models at Surfline allows us to monitor the details of all swells at the highest possible resolution everywhere in the world, and allows LOLA to analyze each swell independently for the most accurate surf forecasting.

LOLA's Nearshore Model also calculates nearshore wave heights all along the coast after the affects of local bathymetry and other variables that can greatly modify the offshore swell transitioning into nearshore swell. Other great LOLA products include Custom Surf Alertsr, real-time buoy analysis, special swell tracking charts, and much more. Additional information about LOLA products and services are below.

KNOW YOUR SPOTS - Before we even consider using the Surfline forecast or other LOLA tools to score good surf, we need to know what to look for. We need to understand what kinds of swells and conditions favor the spots we want to surf. Every single surf spot has a "sweet zone" for swell-what it likes to create really good waves. It may be a specific swell direction within a few degrees, it may be a certain size or it may be a specific swell period interacting with the ocean floor bathymetry-but it's usually a combination of all of the above. Add to that the variation of tide and wind, and we literally have hundreds of different variables to calculate. But that's part of the magic of surfing and why good waves are so fleeting and hard to find. And it keeps us passionate about finding them.

For us to identify the Perfect Swell for our spot in the future, we need to learn everything we can about our spot on a "good" day to use as a reference. That "good" day might be today, a special day last week or even an epic day last year. When we happen to roll up on a "good" day, we need to do a little research. We need to observe the swell direction and best wave size, use a watch to time the swell period between successive waves at the spot, look at the tide, the wind, any additional swell directions that might be combining to create special waves and anything else that might be a contributing factor to the good surf.

Next, go to Surfline.com and review the current forecast information to learn all we can about the swell and the originating storm. Especially important information to consider is the LOLA swell model and buoy information for the local area to note the swell direction, size, and the swell period. Another good tip is to look at the past Surfline charts to try to identify the exact location of the storm that generated the swell. If the "good" day we're researching isn't today, but actually sometime over the last year, we can also go to the LOLA Archives on Surfline.com to retrieve the past swell and buoy information for that specific day. And then we write it all down. Now we know what to look for. And by monitoring the Surfline forecasts and LOLA, or by setting up a custom Surf Alertr, we'll know exactly when to expect another Perfect Swell.

WANT A FORECAST OF SURF AND CONDITIONS FOR TODAY, TOMORROW, OR NEXT WEEK?

The Surfline Forecast - Tell me when the swell is coming, how big it will be, and where the best waves will be. That's all most surfers want to know. The Surfline forecast does exactly that, but only after our forecast team analyzes a huge amount of information and then condenses it into a simple and easy to understand format. This is a detailed 7-10 Day regional surf forecast after reviewing all of the data, models, and information relative to the surfing conditions for the local region, developed by the most experienced surf forecast team in the world.

3-Day LOLA Surf Spot Forecasts - LOLA model surf forecasts for each surf spot within the region with calculated surf heights, swell directions and periods, and wind information over the next three days.

4-Day Nearshore model - Surfline's unique local wave model that calculates the nearshore wave heights everywhere along the coast after the interaction of the incoming swell with the ocean floor, local points of land, and offshore islands. Depending on the swell direction, period, and local bathymetry, wave heights can have huge local variations along the coast.

7-Day LOLA Dashboard - Surfline's regional LOLA swell model forecast that displays very detailed information about the surf heights and every independent swell due to arrive in the specific region over the next 7 days, as well as the local winds, tides, and weather. This 7-Day forecast will be the most up-to-date product in some areas where we may not have a Surfline forecast.

14-Day LOLA Forecast - Surfline's "forward looking" LOLA product that uses current and extended prognosis data to compile a virtual forecast for a specific region that extends out 14 days. This information is often based on forecasted wind information in a future storm, which may not have even happened at the time of the forecast and is a 58 of 61 | Table Of Contents Surfline's North Orange County Surf Guide

forecasted wind information in a future storm, which may not have even happened at the time of the forecast and is a great tool to follow and plan your calendar around future swells.

WANT TO BE ALERTED WHEN SURF AND CONDITIONS ARE FORECASTED TO MEET YOUR SET CRITERIA FOR YOUR FAVORITE BREAK?

Custom Surf Alerts - Set up your own Surf Alertr for any of the thousands of surf spots throughout the world on Surfline. Users can develop their own custom criteria for LOLA forecasted surf and swell heights, swell directions, periods, wind speed and directions, etc. Set it up to email or text you daily or up to 5 days in advance when your criteria is met.

WANT ADVANCED FORECASTING TOOLS TO FIND MORE INFORMATION OR TO CREATE YOUR OWN FORECASTS?

LOLA Real-Time Buoys - A unique buoy analysis software that monitors the real-time data from NOAA, CDIP, and other buoys. This product offers a higher resolution look inside of the typical significant wave height (SWH) report and analyzes all of the separate swells at the buoy location, into independent swell heights, directions, and swell periods. This is a Surfline proprietary product that is mandatory when using the buoys to accurately forecast the amount of swell that will reach the coast. Other buoy products typically only report a single significant wave height (SWH) at the buoy so we can't see all the different swells. A regional buoy summary with all of the swell breakdowns for each buoy is also available.

LOLA Virtual Buoys - Virtual Buoys (not real buoys) in 25,000 fixed coastal locations around the world using the LOLA Global Swell Model offering a detailed 7-Day surf, swell, and wind forecast for that location. Many other additional products are linked to each Virtual Buoy location like swell tracking charts, weather and wind information, water temperatures, and much more.

Custom Forecasts (Global Swell Tracker) - Using a Google Map interface a user can click on any point on Earth to develop a detailed 7-Day surf, swell, and wind forecast for that location. All of the additional Virtual Buoy products above will also be available for your custom location. A great tool for your secret out of the way locations.

LOLA Surfline Charts - These are swell tracking charts for specific local regions around the world that monitor storm and swell activity aimed for that specific location. These charts are an advanced forecasting product that many surfers like to use to formulate their own personal swell calculations to compare with the other forecasting products.

HurricaneTrak - The ultimate hurricane tracking tool for surfers using the power of LOLA within a Google map interface. You can zoom in and out of storms, display various layers of forecast information, and use rulers to see precisely where the storm is going and when the waves will arrive. Remember a great swell from a past hurricane? HurricaneTrak archives also allow users to compare hurricane tracks all the way back to the 1800's!

A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT FORECASTS, MODELS, AND SMOOTHIES

Models are similar to blenders. If we want to make a smoothie, we add all kinds of fruit, juice, and other great things into the blender to create our smoothie. If we add something that is rotten, we'll get a rotten smoothie. The same goes for models. Bad data in, bad data out, and we'll get a rotten forecast. As we know, wave generation is entirely dependent on the winds, and calculating the exact wind velocities, directions, and durations everywhere across the ocean is still an advancing science. Sometimes the wind data is wrong, and if we always had perfect winds the models would probably never miss a forecast.

One advantage of surf forecasting versus other types of forecasting is the final result will always be the true measure of a forecast's accuracy. The final swell size, direction, and swell period will all be clues to backtrack and confirm how accurate the original storm wind data was that was entered into the model. This method of validation allows us to tweak our LOLA models for better accuracy going forward. Also using real-time data from satellites and buoys, we can adjust the LOLA models on the fly to correct the forecasts immediately and long before the swell arrives.

But models can still be wrong from time to time, or they can produce conflicting information between models. And sometimes there are simply things that we as forecasters can see in the charts or other data that can't be clearly expressed in a model. As a result, the Surfline Forecast should always be viewed as the final word because it takes into account all of the variables, including the times when the models may be spitting out something that looks a little rotten.
