Good morning, this is your surf zone forecast for Thursday, April second.

Let's start down south in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara's central coast where things are really firing up. We're looking at three to six feet this morning, but here's the good news—those swells are going to build throughout the day, ramping up to five to nine feet by evening with local sets potentially reaching ten feet overnight. Water temps are running fifty-seven to fifty-nine degrees, so you'll want that wetsuit. No thunderstorms expected, and we've got a nice west swell pushing in.

Moving up to Santa Barbara's southwestern and southeastern coasts, conditions are a bit more mellow with two to four foot surf and moderate rip current risk. Water temperatures there are slightly warmer at sixty-four to sixty-six degrees. It's another clean day with west swell and no storm threats on the horizon.

Over in Ventura County, we need to pump the brakes a little bit. While the morning surf is two to four feet, it's going to build to three to five feet as the day progresses. Here's the thing though—Ventura is under a high rip current risk today, so exercise extra caution if you're heading out. That risk drops to moderate tomorrow. Water temps are sixty-three to sixty-five degrees.

The Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County beaches are looking at a moderate rip current risk with two to four foot surf throughout the day. Water temperatures are running sixty to sixty-six degrees, and again, no storms in the forecast. We're getting a nice west swell all day long.

Looking ahead to Friday, the pattern stays pretty consistent across the board. Rip current risks remain in the moderate range for most areas, though they're generally manageable. Ventura County will see that high risk drop to moderate. Surf heights dial back slightly to two to four feet for most of Southern California beaches, though San Luis Obispo and the central coast will still see five to eight feet on northwest-facing beaches with three to five feet on southwest-facing exposures as the swell direction shifts more northwesterly. Water temperatures stay essentially the same, and there's still no thunderstorm activity expected.

Overall, we've got great conditions shaping up, especially if you're willing to head north or stay out through the evening when those swells really develop. Just keep an eye on those rip currents, particularly in Ventura today, and make sure you're properly equipped for water temps in the upper fifties to mid-sixties. Have a fantastic day on the water.
