Written by professional meteorologist and surf forecaster Adam Wright, the SoCal Surf Forecast is the clearest, most concise blog of its kind in these parts. Wright updates religiously, providing visitors with information about tides, swells, wind speed, water temperatures, wave heights and much more. Plus, he recently added a long-range forecast. For those who understand the scientific jargon, Wright uses maps, graphs and technical lingo. But its also an easy, user-friendly read for the rest of us, who are just trying to decide if it's going to be worth calling in sick tomorrow.
