Good evening surfers and beach lovers! This is your final beach forecast of the season, and let me tell you, Mother Nature is sending us off with a bang.
Tonight through 8 PM, we're looking at dangerous conditions with a Beach Hazards Statement and High Rip Current Risk in effect across all our beaches. So if you're thinking about heading down for a sunset session, exercise extreme caution.
Now let's talk about what's coming this weekend, because things are about to get seriously fun.
Saturday is your window before the big swell arrives. Expect mostly cloudy skies with a chance of showers and surf ranging from three to seven feet depending on where you are. Water temps are holding around 70 degrees, so you'll want that wetsuit. The rip current risk stays high, so respect the ocean and stay aware. If you're heading out, winds will be light to moderate out of the east around 15 to 20 miles per hour.
But here's where it gets good. Sunday is when we see the main event roll in. We're talking nine to twelve foot faces across the board. This is the kind of swell that gets surfers out of bed early. However, and I cannot stress this enough, conditions will be dangerous. We're expecting very strong northeast winds between 30 and 40 miles per hour, heavy showers throughout the day, and significant shore break with waves crashing directly on the beach. That dangerous shore break can cause serious neck and spinal injuries even for experienced swimmers. The rip currents will be at their peak intensity, so if you do paddle out, go with a buddy and know your limits.
Into Monday, we transition from the peak excitement to slightly calmer but still substantial conditions. Surf heights drop to five to nine feet, but winds remain strong around 30 miles per hour from the north. Showers should taper off, though the high rip current risk continues through the afternoon.
By Tuesday, we're seeing the swell continuing to decline. Four to seven foot sets with breezy north winds around 25 miles per hour. This is probably your best bet for a solid session mid-week if you can make it happen.
By Wednesday, things really start to settle down. Waves drop to two to seven feet, mostly sunny skies return, and winds ease to around 15 to 20 miles per hour from the north. This looks like a nice way to close out the season before we head into the winter lull.
One final reminder before we wrap up: this is the last beach forecast until mid-May. Come spring, we'll be back with fresh updates, so enjoy these fall swells and stay safe out there. The ocean deserves your respect, especially when she's this fired up.
Get out there and make some memories, surfers.
