Good morning surfers, this is your Friday surf forecast for Southern California brought to you by the National Weather Service. Let's break down what's happening in the water today and tomorrow.

Starting with Malibu and Los Angeles County beaches, we're looking at two to four foot surf with a moderate rip current risk today. The water's running cool at fifty-seven to sixty-four degrees, so you might want to consider that wetsuit. We've got mixed west and south swell creating the action, and there's a high tide coming in at eleven seventeen in the morning. The good news is that moderate rip current risk drops to low tomorrow with smaller one to three foot waves and purely west swell conditions.

Head north to Ventura County and conditions stay consistent with moderate rip currents both today and tomorrow. Two to four foot waves are on tap for both days, powered by that same mixed swell pattern. Water temps here are a bit warmer at fifty-nine to sixty-one degrees. Saturday keeps the same moderate rip current warning, so if you're heading out, pay attention to those currents and know how to escape them.

Moving further up the coast to Santa Barbara County, both the southwestern and southeastern sections are showing low rip current risk with smaller one to three foot surf. The water settles around fifty-eight degrees and pure west swell is the driver. These areas are looking pretty mellow for the weekend.

Now if you're willing to drive north to San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Central Coast, that's where the best waves are. Northwest facing beaches are cranking at five to eight feet today, dropping slightly to four to seven tomorrow. Southwest facing beaches will see three to five feet today and two to four tomorrow. Water's chillier up there at fifty-three to fifty-six degrees, but if you're chasing quality, this is your zone. Pure west swell is pushing everything, and conditions look solid through the weekend.

No thunderstorms expected anywhere along the coast, so you won't have to worry about lightning delays. Get out there and enjoy the ocean, but stay safe and respect those rip currents.
