Southern California Surf Report Thursday: Four to Seven Foot Waves Central Coast, Two to Four Feet LA Ventura
5d ago00:02:47Tap to summarizeGood morning surfers, this is your Thursday morning surf report for Southern California. We're looking at a mixed bag across the coast today, so stick around to find out what your local break has in store. Let's start down south in San Luis Obispo and the Santa Barbara Central Coast, where the action is definitely firing. You're looking at solid four to seven foot faces today with a nice blend of west and south swell mixing things up. The water's a bit chilly at fifty three to fifty eight degrees, so you'll want that wetsuit, but trust us, it's worth it for these conditions. The swell is expected to back off just slightly tomorrow to three to six feet, but you'll still have some quality waves in the lineup. Heading north to Santa Barbara County, things calm down considerably. The southwestern and southeastern coasts are seeing one to three foot surf with pure west swell. Water temps are hovering around fifty eight degrees, and here's some good news for the water safety minded crowd: rip current risk is low both today and tomorrow. If you're looking for a mellower session or if you're bringing the family out, Santa Barbara's your spot. Now to Ventura County and the Malibu Coast, we're back to moderate rip current risk, so keep your wits about you out there. You're looking at two to four foot faces with that mixed west and south swell action. Water temperatures are climbing a bit here, sitting at sixty two to sixty four degrees. The pattern holds pretty steady into Friday with the same moderate rip risk and similar wave heights, though the swell combo will shift slightly to mostly south with some west mixed in. The Los Angeles County beaches are running the same program as Ventura today and tomorrow: two to four foot waves, moderate rip current risk, and water temps between sixty one and sixty three degrees. Again, that mixed swell is doing its thing, and conditions should remain consistent as we roll into Friday. So here's the bottom line: if you want genuine size and some real wave riding, hit the Central Coast. If you prefer smaller, more manageable waves with lower rip risk, Santa Barbara's calling your name. Everyone else, suit up for two to four foot faces across Ventura and Los Angeles County with moderate rip currents to keep you honest. No thunderstorms expected anywhere, so the skies should cooperate. Get out there and make the most of this Thursday swell.

Transcribe →Southern California Surf Forecast May 20-21: 4-7 Foot Waves North, Rip Current Warnings LA Ventura
6d ago00:03:01Tap to summarizeGood morning, this is your Southern California Surf Zone Forecast for Wednesday, May 20th and Thursday, May 21st. Let's start up north where things are getting interesting. San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara's central coast are firing with four to seven foot waves powered by a solid west swell. Water temps are chilly at fifty three to fifty five degrees, so a wetsuit is definitely your friend out there. If you're heading out, watch those tides. You've got a low of negative one point three feet in the morning around nine o nine, which means exposed reefs and sandbars are on the menu. Thursday stays consistent with the same four to seven foot range, though the swell direction shifts slightly to the northwest. Same cold water, so keep that wetsuit handy. Moving down the coast, Santa Barbara's southern and eastern shores are seeing smaller one to three foot peaks with that west swell, and the water's sitting around fifty five to fifty six degrees. Rip current risk is low, so conditions are pretty manageable down there. Thursday looks virtually identical, so if you're planning a trip to the Santa Barbara area, either day works beautifully. Now here's where things get spicy. Ventura County and the Malibu and Los Angeles County beaches are both showing moderate rip current risk for today and tomorrow. We're talking two to four foot surf with mixed south and west swells working together. Water temps are a bit warmer here, ranging from fifty nine degrees up in Ventura to sixty two to sixty four degrees down in Los Angeles County. That's still plenty chilly, but noticeably better than up north. The moderate rip current risk means life threatening rip currents are possible, so if you're not experienced with them, exercise caution or consider sitting this one out. Thursday maintains the same moderate risk with the same two to four foot heights and mixed swell conditions. One thing worth noting across the entire forecast, there's zero thunderstorm potential anywhere, so at least you won't have to worry about lightning. The winds and weather look stable throughout both days. So here's the bottom line. If you're a experienced surfer looking for some action, head north for bigger waves. If you prefer smaller, mellower conditions, Santa Barbara's your spot. And if you're in the LA or Ventura area, just be smart about those rip currents today and tomorrow. Check conditions in real time and never hesitate to ask the lifeguards for current intel before you paddle out. Stay safe out there, and enjoy the water.

Expect two to four foot surf with water temperatures ranging from fifty eight to sixty four degrees. The rip currents are possible but manageable if you're aware of their presence. It's a great day to get out there, just keep an eye on the current patterns before you paddle out. Moving down the coast to Ventura County, we also have moderate rip currents in play today with similar two to four foot waves. Water temps sitting around fifty nine degrees. However, conditions improve significantly tomorrow when rip currents drop to low risk levels and surf heights settle into the one to three foot range. So if you're planning a Ventura session, Tuesday might be your sweeter option. The Santa Barbara County coastlines are looking pretty mellow. Both the southwestern and southeastern coasts show low rip current risk today and tomorrow with one to three foot waves throughout. Water temperatures hovering around fifty nine degrees.
