Surf's up, wave riders! Buckle up for a gnarly weekend along Southern California's coastline.
Orange County's looking at a moderate rip current situation with surf heights dancing between 2 to 4 feet. Water's gonna be a chilly 57 to 61 degrees - definitely wetsuit territory. Newport Beach is serving up some sweet tide action with multiple peaks today - start your morning with a 4.5-foot high tide at 4:19 AM, dip down to a low of 0.1 feet by early afternoon, then rise again to a 3.1-foot evening swell.
Meanwhile, San Diego County's cranking up the intensity with a high rip current risk. Surfers, listen up - we're talking 3 to 5 foot waves coming in hot from a westerly 280-degree direction. La Jolla's tidal rhythm will peak at 4.3 feet early morning, bottom out at sea level around noon, then roll through evening swells.
Both regions are expecting consistent west swells and zero thunderstorm action. Water temperatures are holding steady in the upper 50s to low 60s. Pro tip: if you're paddling out, respect the rip current warnings and know your limits.
Weekend warriors, this is your call to adventure - challenging conditions await, but epic waves are on the horizon. Stay smart, stay safe, and catch those perfect breaks! Surf's calling your name.
