Orange County's looking mellow with 1 to 3 foot waves today rolling in from a 230 degree direction. Water's chillin at a crisp 56 to 58 degrees - wetsuit recommended. Rip current risk is low, so novice surfers can breathe easy. Newport Beach tides are doing their dance with a morning high of 6.1 feet and an afternoon low dipping to negative 1.1 feet.
Cruising down to San Diego County, things get a bit more spicy. We're looking at 2 to 4 foot surf with moderate rip current potential. La Jolla's waves will be coming in from 260 degrees today, stepping up to a potential 5 feet tomorrow with a swell shifting to 280 degrees. Water temp hovers around 55 to 57 degrees.
Wednesday's forecast keeps the stoke alive with similar conditions - consistent waves, moderate rip risks, and no thunderstorm threats. Both regions can expect clean 1 to 4 foot breaks perfect for catching some sweet rides.
