Surf's up, wave riders! The Southern California coast is serving up some solid conditions for today and tomorrow. We're looking at a moderate rip current risk, so keep your wits about you out there.
Newport Beach and La Jolla are both rocking a consistent 2 to 4 foot surf with swells rolling in from the west-northwest at 280 degrees. Water temps are hovering in the crisp zone between 56 and 59 degrees, so you'll want that wetsuit ready.
Tide action is going to be interesting today. Newport Beach will see its first low tide at 1.5 feet around 2:37 AM, then climbing to a robust 5.9 feet by morning. Another low dip hits at negative 0.8 feet in the afternoon before evening's high tide peaks at 4.3 feet.
La Jolla follows a similar rhythm with low tides bottoming out around 1.3 feet and highs reaching 5.8 feet. The morning and evening tide cycles will provide some sweet windows for catching waves.
No thunderstorm threats are lurking, which means clean conditions for surfers and beach lovers. The moderate rip current risk means you'll want to stay alert and know your limits. Watch for unexpected current pulls and always surf with a buddy.
Whether you're a seasoned local or a weekend warrior, Southern California's coastline is calling. Grab your board, check your gear, and get ready for some epic wave riding. Stay stoked and stay safe out there!
