Southern California Surf Forecast Monday to Wednesday: Rip Currents, Four to Nine Foot Waves, Beach Hazards Statement
Surf Report for Los Angeles California
About
Good morning, this is your Southern California surf forecast for Monday, June 8th through Wednesday.
A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect from 8 AM Tuesday through 8 PM Thursday, so listen up if you're planning a trip to the water.
Starting with the Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches, we're looking at four to six foot waves this afternoon through Tuesday with a high rip current risk. That means life threatening rip currents are likely, so if you're heading out, know what you're doing and respect the ocean. Water temperatures are running 62 to 65 degrees, which is fairly pleasant for June. We've got mixed south swell and west swell creating these conditions, so expect some interesting wave shapes out there.
Wednesday stays consistent with four to six foot surf and that same high rip current risk. If you're a strong swimmer and experienced in rip current conditions, Wednesday could still deliver some fun waves before we transition into the weekend.
Over in Ventura County, expect three to six foot waves this afternoon and Tuesday with high rip currents as well. Water's slightly cooler there at 61 to 63 degrees. The mixed swell continues to push through Wednesday with the same three to six foot range and high rip current risk. It's a similar story to LA County, just a bit smaller on the low end.
Heading further north to Santa Barbara County's southwestern and southeastern coasts, things mellow out considerably. We're looking at two to four foot waves with a moderate rip current risk this afternoon through Tuesday. Water temperatures hold at 62 to 64 degrees. Wednesday looks the same with two to four footers and that moderate rip current risk. So if you're looking for less intense conditions, Santa Barbara could be your zone.
Now, if you're willing to make the drive up to San Luis Obispo and the Santa Barbara Central Coast, get ready for some serious swell. This afternoon and Tuesday, west facing beaches are pumping three to five feet while south facing beaches are lighting up with five to eight footers. This is where the real energy is. Water's colder up there at 53 to 55 degrees, so bring a wetsuit.
Wednesday things really turn on. You're looking at six to nine foot faces across the board. That's serious swell, folks. The mixed north and south swell is creating some excellent conditions for experienced surfers. This is your opportunity to score some quality waves in Central Coast.
Tides are working with us throughout the window. High tides reaching up to five and a half feet by evening will add some punch to the conditions.
The bottom line: high rip currents are the story from Malibu through Ventura County this week. Santa Barbara sees moderate risks with smaller, more approachable waves. If you've got the skills and the time, the San Luis Obispo and Central Coast zones are firing with bigger swell Wednesday. Stay safe out there, check the conditions before you go, and respect the ocean. This has been your Southern California surf forecast.
