Surf's up, wave riders! This is your coastal condition report coming in hot from the National Weather Service.
Buckle up for a mellow surf day along Southern California's stunning coastline. Orange County's looking at a chill 1 to 3 foot wave scene today with occasional sets reaching 4 feet. Water's sitting at a crisp 63 to 66 degrees - wetsuit optional but recommended.
Over in San Diego County, things are slightly spicier with 2 to 4 foot waves and sets pushing 5 feet. The rip current situation is moderate down south, so surfers and swimmers need to stay alert and read those ocean conditions carefully.
Both regions are experiencing a consistent west-southwest swell coming in around 280 degrees - perfect for some clean lines and smooth riding. No thunderstorm drama expected, which means clean conditions for ocean enthusiasts.
Tide-wise, we're looking at some nice rhythm today. Newport Beach and La Jolla will see multiple low and high tides throughout the day. Morning low tides hit around 4:40 AM with highs rolling in late morning near 11 AM.
Friday's forecast looks similar - slightly smaller waves hovering in the 1 to 3 foot range with rip current risk dropping to low across both counties. The swell direction remains steady from the west-southwest.
Pro tip: Check local conditions before paddling out and always respect the ocean's power. Stay stoked and stay safe out there, wave warriors!
