Surf's up, beach lovers! Let's dive into the coastal conditions for Southern California.
We're looking at a mixed bag of swells rolling into Orange County and San Diego, with some exciting wave action brewing. Tuesday's bringing moderate rip current risks, so surfers and swimmers need to stay alert.
Expect surf heights dancing between 2 to 4 feet, with occasional sets pushing up to 5 feet. These waves are coming from a beautiful blend of south and west swells - Orange County seeing 190-degree south swells mixed with 270-degree west swells, while San Diego's getting slightly different angles at 210 and 290 degrees.
Water temperatures are looking sweet, ranging from 64 to 70 degrees - perfect for catching some waves without turning into a human popsicle. Pro tip: grab that springsuit or thin wetsuit.
Tide schedules are pretty dynamic. Newport Beach and La Jolla will experience four tide changes, with low tides dipping below zero and high tides reaching nearly 6 feet. Morning low tides hit around 4:15 AM, with peaks happening midday and evening.
Good news for wave riders - no thunderstorm threats are on the horizon. Wednesday looks mellower, with surf heights dropping to 1-3 feet and rip current risks decreasing to low.
Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy those Southern California waves!
