Surf's up, wave riders! Get ready for a wild ride along the Southern California coastline. Today's forecast is looking like a mixed bag of maritime mischief.
Orange County surfers, listen up! We're starting with a relatively calm scene today - small 2 to 3 foot waves with a low rip current risk. Water temps are hovering between a chilly 56 and 60 degrees, so you'll want that wetsuit. Newport Beach will see some interesting tide action with four key tide shifts throughout the day, peaking at a high of 4.8 feet late tonight.
But hold onto your boards, because Tuesday is bringing the heat - or should we say, the swell! We're looking at 3 to 5 foot waves with potential local sets reaching 6 feet. The rip current risk jumps from low to high, so serious surfers and ocean enthusiasts need to stay alert.
Sliding down to San Diego County, today's conditions are slightly more spicy with moderate rip current risks and 2 to 4 foot surf. La Jolla's tide chart mirrors Newport's rhythm with similar high and low tide patterns.
Tuesday in San Diego? Buckle up for an epic day! Waves are forecasted to range from 4 to 7 feet, with local sets potentially hitting a monster 8 feet. The west swell will be rolling in from various degrees - 280 for Orange County and 290 for San Diego - creating some seriously dynamic ocean conditions.
Water temperatures remain consistent in the upper 50s to low 60s. No thunderstorms are expected, so clear skies should accompany these exciting wave conditions.
Stay safe, stay stoked, and may the surf be with you!
