Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for a mellow coastal ride along Southern California's shores. Today's looking like a smooth sailing scenario with waves dancing between 2 to 4 feet for both Orange County and San Diego coastlines.
Water temps are hovering in the comfortable 56 to 60 degree range - wetsuit optional but recommended for the more sensitive surfers. The swell composition is a killer mix of south and west directions creating some interesting wave patterns.
In Orange County, expect a south swell rolling in at 190 degrees blending with a west swell coming from 270 degrees. San Diego's got a similar vibe with south swells at 210 degrees and west swells streaming from 280 degrees.
Tide enthusiasts will want to mark their calendars for some prime water moments. Newport Beach is hosting high tides around 4.6 feet in the morning and another sweet 3.6 feet evening session. La Jolla's tide chart mirrors a similar rhythm with high points reaching 4.4 and 3.4 feet respectively.
Rip current risk? Super low today. While always stay alert, the chances of getting caught in a dangerous current are minimal. No thunderstorms are crashing our beach party either.
Tuesday's forecast looks like a gentle continuation - slightly smaller 1 to 3 foot surf for Orange County and holding steady at 2 to 4 feet for San Diego. Consistent conditions mean predictable fun for water warriors.
Stay stoked and stay safe out there wave riders!
