Surf's up, coastal crew! We've got an epic weekend brewing along Northern and Central California's stunning coastline. Buckle up for some serious wave action that'll make your inner surfer totally stoked!
Northwest facing beaches are about to get hammered with massive swells ranging 9 to 13 feet on Saturday - that's serious big wave territory for the hardcore riders. Southwest beaches will see more mellow 4 to 7 foot waves, perfect for intermediate surfers looking to score some sweet rides.
Temperature wise, we're looking at a gorgeous spread between 54 and 69 degrees, with Sunday potentially warming up even more. Those northwest winds will be cranking Saturday at 23 miles per hour, though they'll mellow out to a gentle 8 miles per hour by Sunday.
Water temperatures are sitting around a chilly 53 degrees, so wetsuit warriors will definitely want to gear up. Expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy conditions that'll make for some absolutely stunning ocean views.
Tide charts are looking interesting with some nice low and high tide cycles. Saturday's lowest tide hits 0.3 feet at 5:59 AM, climbing to a respectable 4.5 feet by early afternoon. Evening brings another low tide at 1.5 feet before a nighttime high of 5.4 feet.
For all you surf enthusiasts from Sonoma down to Monterey Bay, this weekend promises epic conditions. Just remember to check local beach conditions and stay safe out there. Catch those waves and ride like a legend!
