Good morning surfers, this is your National Weather Service surf forecast for Saturday, March 28th, 2026.

Let's start down south in Santa Barbara County where conditions are looking pretty mellow. We're expecting surf heights of one to two feet throughout the day with low rip current risk. Water temps are holding steady in the comfortable mid-sixties, so you won't need a heavy suit if you're heading out. The swell is minimal today, but Sunday should bring in some west swell action to shake things up a bit.

Moving north to the Santa Barbara Central Coast and San Luis Obispo County beaches, things are definitely picking up. Here we're looking at three to six foot surf driven by a northwest swell that's rolling in nicely. Water temperatures are a bit chillier in the upper fifties, so bring that full suit. Sunday maintains those same three to six foot conditions with a mix of northwest and south swell combining to keep things fun.

Over on the Ventura County beaches, we're back to smaller one to three foot waves with west swell dominating the lineup. Water temps are ranging from sixty-one to sixty-six degrees, making for pretty pleasant conditions. Low rip current risk means you can focus on finding your waves without worrying too much about safety concerns. Sunday continues this pattern with similar sizing and west swell contributions.

Finally, up in Malibu and the Los Angeles County beaches, we've got one to three foot surf with south swell as the main player today. Water temps span from fifty-nine to sixty-six depending on your exact beach, so there's a bit of variation. Sunday mixes things up with both south and west swell blending together for some interesting wave patterns.

Overall, we're looking at pretty safe conditions across the board with low rip current risk everywhere. Thunderstorm potential is nonexistent, so you don't need to worry about afternoon storms ruining your session. If you're chasing bigger waves, head north to San Luis Obispo or Santa Barbara's central coast. If you prefer smaller, mellow waves, the southern beaches are your sweet spot. Either way, get out there and enjoy what the ocean's serving up this weekend.
