Southern California Surf Forecast High Rip Currents Friday Saturday Three to Five Foot Waves
Surf Report for Los Angeles California
About
Good morning! Here's your Friday and Saturday surf zone forecast for Southern California.
Starting with the Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches, we're looking at a HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK today. Surf heights will be running three to five feet with mixed south and west swell. Water temps are comfortable ranging from sixty to sixty-eight degrees. The tide will bottom out at minus point five feet early this morning around three o eight, then peak at three point four feet late morning. This afternoon we'll see another low around two o one PM before the tide climbs to a significant six point six feet by evening. Saturday stays consistently choppy with the same high rip current risk and similar three to five foot surf. The swell remains mostly south-facing, and those tides will swing even more dramatically, dropping to minus one point two feet before climbing to nearly seven feet by evening.
Over in Ventura County, today brings that same high rip current risk with three to five foot waves and warmer water between sixty-three and sixty-seven degrees. But here's where it gets interesting: Saturday shows improvement! The rip current risk drops to moderate, and the surf mellows out to two to four feet. You'll still have mixed swell working, but conditions are definitely trending calmer.
The Santa Barbara County coasts are your safest bet for the next two days. We're talking LOW rip current risk both today and tomorrow with smaller one to three foot surf. Water temperature sits at a consistent sixty-four to sixty-five degrees. Tides follow the same general pattern as elsewhere along the coast.
Finally, up in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Central Coast, the water's considerably cooler at fifty-two to fifty-four degrees. But if you're after bigger waves, this is your zone. Three to six foot surf is expected both today and tomorrow with mixed northwest and south swell today, transitioning to west and south swell by Saturday. No thunderstorms expected anywhere along the coast.
Stay safe out there and respect those rip currents!
