Surf's up, wave riders! Let's break down the coastal conditions for Southern California today.
Orange County and San Diego are serving up some mellow marine vibes with low rip current risks. If you're planning to catch some waves, you're in for a smooth ride.
Newport Beach and La Jolla are looking at surf heights dancing between 1 to 4 feet - perfect for beginners and intermediate surfers seeking some gentle ocean action. Water temperatures are sitting comfortably between 55 and 60 degrees, so a spring wetsuit will keep you nice and cozy.
Today's swell is a mix of west and south swells coming in around 270 and 210 degrees respectively. Translation: clean, predictable wave patterns that'll have longboarders grinning from ear to ear.
Tide-wise, we're looking at some interesting fluctuations. Newport Beach will see a low tide of 2.2 feet early morning, climbing to a high of 5.0 feet by mid-morning. La Jolla follows a similar rhythm with low and high tides creating some sweet spots for wave hunters.
For Wednesday, expect similar conditions - low rip current risks, surf heights maintaining that 2 to 4 foot sweet spot, and no thunderstorm threats. The swell direction will shift slightly, but nothing that'll cramp your style.
Bottom line: It's a stellar couple of days to get out there and embrace the Southern California surf scene. Stay stoked, stay safe, and enjoy those Pacific swells!
