Surf's up, California coast watchers! Buckle up for a gnarly maritime forecast that'll have wave riders and beach lovers taking notes.

Northern and Central California are serving up some serious ocean action over the next couple days. We're looking at impressive surf heights ranging from 5 to 13 feet depending on your coastal location - that's some serious wave energy!

Starting with Sonoma and Marin, expect consistent 6 to 10 foot swells with northwest winds cranking up from 18 to 23 miles per hour. San Francisco and San Mateo coastal zones are seeing similar conditions but with slightly larger waves - 7 to 12 feet that'll make seasoned surfers grin.

Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay are bringing their own maritime magic. Thursday's looking at 6 to 10 foot surf, but Friday cranks it up with potential 9 to 13 foot waves that'll challenge even experienced wave hunters. Water temperatures are hovering around a chilly 53 to 57 degrees - wetsuit mandatory!

Across all regions, expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures ranging from a crisp 52 to a mild 75 degrees. Northwest winds will be your constant companion, shifting and dancing between 3 and 26 miles per hour.

Tide riders take note: Low tides bottom out around minus 0.6 feet in the morning, with high tides climbing to 4.1 to 5.5 feet in the afternoon.

One crucial reminder - always check local beach conditions and potential closures before heading out. Stay safe, stay stoked, and enjoy California's epic coastal playground!
