Surf's up, wave riders! We've got a wild weekend brewing along Southern California's coastline.

Orange County is serving up some seriously tempting conditions with 2 to 4 foot swells that'll make your board sing. Mixed west and south swells are creating a sweet playground for surfers, with water temperatures hovering between a comfortable 68 and 71 degrees. But listen up - there's a moderate rip current risk, so keep those eyes peeled and stay alert.

Over in San Diego County, things are heating up even more. We're talking a high rip current risk with surf heights climbing to 3 to 5 feet. West swells coming in strong from 280 degrees promise some epic riding potential. Water temperatures are sitting around 67 to 70 degrees - not too shabby.

Newport Beach and La Jolla are both experiencing dramatic tide shifts today. Expect low tides dipping to negative numbers in the early morning, then climbing to impressive highs around 6.5 feet by evening. Those tidal movements mean dynamic wave conditions that'll keep even seasoned surfers on their toes.

Looking ahead to Monday, conditions mellow out a bit. San Diego's rip current risk drops to moderate, with surf heights scaling back to 2 to 4 feet. Orange County will see similar easing, with 1 to 3 foot swells and a low rip current risk.

Bottom line - today's your day for some serious wave action, but tomorrow offers a more relaxed surf experience. Stay safe, read the water, and ride those California waves!
