Surf's up, coastal adventurers! The Northern and Central California coast is serving up some seriously epic wave conditions that'll make any surfer's heart race.
Let's break down the marine magic happening along our stunning coastline. From Sonoma down to Monterey Bay, we're looking at solid surf heights ranging from 4 to 10 feet - perfect for intermediate to advanced riders seeking some serious ocean action.
Sonoma and Marin are cranking out impressive 6 to 10-foot swells today, with winds cruising northwest at 14 to 18 miles per hour. San Francisco and San Mateo zones are rocking consistent 6 to 9-foot waves with slightly gentler winds around 10 to 13 miles per hour.
Santa Cruz is bringing the heat with 5 to 8-foot waves today, climbing to a robust 6 to 10-foot playground tomorrow. Monterey Bay and Big Sur are offering more mellow 4 to 7-foot swells today, graduating to a solid 5 to 8-foot range on Tuesday.
Weather-wise, we're blessed with mostly sunny to partly cloudy conditions across the board. Temperatures will dance between a crisp 52 and a pleasant 71 degrees - wetsuit recommended but not arctic.
Tide enthusiasts will appreciate the dramatic vertical range today, with lows dipping to -1.4 feet and highs reaching 6.6 feet. Just remember, ocean conditions can change faster than a California sunset, so always check local updates and respect the marine environment.
One critical note: local authorities suggest checking beach conditions before heading out. Safety first, stoke second!
Catch those waves responsibly, ocean warriors!
