Southern California Surf Forecast High Rip Currents Friday Saturday Three to Five Foot Waves
Jun 1200:02:19Tap to summarizeGood morning! Here's your Friday and Saturday surf zone forecast for Southern California. Starting with the Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches, we're looking at a HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK today. Surf heights will be running three to five feet with mixed south and west swell. Water temps are comfortable ranging from sixty to sixty-eight degrees. The tide will bottom out at minus point five feet early this morning around three o eight, then peak at three point four feet late morning. This afternoon we'll see another low around two o one PM before the tide climbs to a significant six point six feet by evening. Saturday stays consistently choppy with the same high rip current risk and similar three to five foot surf. The swell remains mostly south-facing, and those tides will swing even more dramatically, dropping to minus one point two feet before climbing to nearly seven feet by evening. Over in Ventura County, today brings that same high rip current risk with three to five foot waves and warmer water between sixty-three and sixty-seven degrees. But here's where it gets interesting: Saturday shows improvement! The rip current risk drops to moderate, and the surf mellows out to two to four feet. You'll still have mixed swell working, but conditions are definitely trending calmer. The Santa Barbara County coasts are your safest bet for the next two days. We're talking LOW rip current risk both today and tomorrow with smaller one to three foot surf. Water temperature sits at a consistent sixty-four to sixty-five degrees. Tides follow the same general pattern as elsewhere along the coast. Finally, up in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Central Coast, the water's considerably cooler at fifty-two to fifty-four degrees. But if you're after bigger waves, this is your zone. Three to six foot surf is expected both today and tomorrow with mixed northwest and south swell today, transitioning to west and south swell by Saturday. No thunderstorms expected anywhere along the coast. Stay safe out there and respect those rip currents! For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
Transcribe →Southern California Surf Forecast High Surf Advisory Malibu LA County Beaches June 11 12 Rip Currents
Jun 1100:03:09Tap to summarizeGood morning, this is your Southern California surf zone forecast for Thursday, June 11th through Friday, June 12th. Let's start with the big story today. The Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches are under a High Surf Advisory through eight o'clock tonight, and that advisory comes with a High Rip Current Risk to match. We're looking at four to seven feet of surf out there, but here's the kicker: local sets along the Malibu coast are pushing ten to twelve feet, which is absolutely prime for the experienced crew. The water's sitting between fifty-five and sixty-eight degrees, so if you're heading out, you'll want to think about a light wetsuit. Just remember that High Rip Current Risk means life-threatening currents are likely, so know what you're doing out there and respect the ocean. Over in Ventura County, things are slightly less dramatic but still worth your attention. We've got a Beach Hazards Statement in effect through eight o'clock tonight. The surf here is running three to six feet, with local sets reaching seven feet down in the southern part of the county. The water's a bit warmer at sixty-two to sixty-four degrees, and like Malibu, we're looking at a High Rip Current Risk. That mixed south and west swell is creating the perfect conditions for strong currents, so keep your head on a swivel. Heading south to Santa Barbara County, conditions dial back a notch. Both the southwestern and southeastern coasts are looking at a Moderate Rip Current Risk with two to four feet of surf. The water's holding steady around sixty-two degrees, and while the rip current threat is lower than up north, it's still something to be aware of. The swell here is a mix of west and south directions, and Friday's going to be even gentler as that Moderate Risk drops to Low. Way down on the Central Coast, San Luis Obispo and the Santa Barbara Central Coast Beaches are the standout performers today. We're talking five to eight feet of surf, which is outstanding for a Thursday morning. The water's cooler at fifty-four to fifty-six degrees, so definitely bring that wetsuit. No specific rip current advisory here, but keep your wits about you in these bigger swells. Now let's talk tomorrow. Friday's shaping up to be a mellow day across the board. The Malibu Coast and LA County Beaches drop down to two to four feet, with that High Rip Current Risk mellowing to Moderate. Same story in Ventura County: two to four feet with a Moderate Rip Current Risk. Santa Barbara County continues its chill with one to three feet and that risk dropping all the way to Low. Down on the Central Coast, we're still looking at three to six feet, which keeps it respectable for those who want to extend their weekend session. One thing worth noting across the entire forecast: there's not a thunderstorm in sight. We're looking at clear conditions with mixed swells throughout, so visibility will be excellent whether you're hunting waves or just watching from the beach. The tide cycles are pretty standard for mid-June, with morning lows in the early hours and evening highs in the seven to eight PM range. That information should help you time your session perfectly. Stay safe out there, respect those rip currents, and make the most of the swell while it lasts. For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
Transcribe →Southern California Surf Forecast June 9-11 2026: Six to Ten Foot Waves, High Rip Currents, Perfect Conditions
Jun 1000:02:35Tap to summarizeGood afternoon, this is your Southern California surf forecast for Tuesday, June 9th through Thursday, June 11th, 2026. Let's start up north where San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara's central coast are firing. You're looking at six to nine feet this afternoon and Wednesday, with those waves backing off slightly to five to eight feet come Thursday. Water temps are sitting in that chilly fifty-four to fifty-six degree range, so if you're heading out there, you'll definitely want that wetsuit. The swell is a nice mix of west and south swells keeping things interesting. Moving down the coast to Santa Barbara's southwestern and southeastern sections, conditions are a bit more mellow. Expect two to four foot waves throughout the period with water temperatures ranging from sixty-two to sixty-four degrees. The moderate rip current risk means you'll want to be aware of currents, but nothing too gnarly. Same mixed swell pattern keeping the ocean busy. Now if you're looking at Ventura County, we've got a beach hazards statement in effect through Thursday evening. Three to six feet this afternoon and Wednesday, tapering to three to five feet Thursday. Water's a touch cooler at sixty to sixty-two degrees. Here's the thing though, we've got a high rip current risk, so respect the ocean and know how to identify and escape a rip if you find yourself in one. The LA County beaches and Malibu coast are where things really pick up. We've got a high surf advisory through Thursday evening, and this is no joke. Four to seven feet is the forecast for most beaches, but Malibu's getting special treatment with seven to ten foot faces. The rip current risk is high here as well, so this afternoon through Wednesday, use extreme caution. Water temperatures are a comfortable sixty-two to sixty-eight degrees. Thursday still brings that four to seven foot swell with high rip currents continuing, so take your time and stay safe out there. One thing worth noting across all zones, there's zero thunderstorm potential, so at least you won't have to worry about lightning. The tides are shifting from low to high and back again throughout the forecast period, so check those before you paddle out. Bottom line: Northern zones are bigger and colder, southern zones are smaller but still rideable, and rip currents are a legitimate hazard everywhere. This mixed swell situation is keeping waves playful, so whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, there's something for everyone. Just respect the ocean, know your limits, and have an awesome few days in the water. For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
Transcribe →Southern California Surf Forecast Monday to Wednesday: Rip Currents, Four to Nine Foot Waves, Beach Hazards Statement
Jun 900:02:48Tap to summarizeGood 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.

Transcribe →Southern California Surf Forecast Monday: 3 to 7 Foot Waves, Rip Current Warnings for Ventura and LA County
Jun 800:02:23Tap to summarizeGood morning, surfers and beach lovers. Here's your Monday morning surf forecast for Southern California, brought to you by the National Weather Service. Let's start up north where San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara's central coast are seeing some solid action. We're looking at three to five feet on west-facing beaches today, but if you can get to a south-facing break, you're in for a treat with five to seven foot waves powered by a north swell. Water temps are chilly at fifty-four to fifty-six degrees, so definitely grab that wetsuit. Tomorrow things pick up even more with west-facing beaches hitting three to six feet and south-facing beaches pumping six to eight feet as we transition to a mixed north and south swell pattern. Moving down the coast to Santa Barbara County's southeastern and southwestern areas, conditions are much more mellow. We're looking at one to three foot waves today with low rip current risk, making this a great spot for beginners or anyone wanting to avoid the heavy water. Same forecast holds for Tuesday with similar conditions. Now, if you're in Ventura County, pay attention. We've got a Beach Hazards Statement in effect from eight AM Tuesday through eight PM Thursday. High rip current risk is the main story here with three to five foot waves today and three to six feet with occasional seven foot sets tomorrow. Water temperature sits between sixty-one and sixty-four degrees. This is serious water, so know what you're doing if you're paddling out. Finally, heading south to the Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County beaches, another Beach Hazards Statement is active for the same window. High rip currents are likely, so exercise serious caution. Expect three to five foot surf today with three to six feet and occasional seven foot sets tomorrow. Water temps are slightly warmer at sixty-two to sixty-five degrees, but don't let that fool you into dropping your guard. The good news across the board: no thunderstorms are expected anywhere through Tuesday. The challenging news: if you're heading out in Ventura or Los Angeles County, respect those rip currents and always use the buddy system. Whether you're chasing the bigger waves up north or enjoying the gentler conditions in Santa Barbara, get out there and have a safe session.

Transcribe →California Coastal Surf Forecast Saturday Monday High Rip Currents LA Ventura Three to Five Foot Waves
Jun 700:02:16Tap to summarizeGood morning surfers, this is your coastal forecast for this Saturday afternoon through Monday. Let's dive right into what Mother Ocean has in store for us. If you're heading out to the Malibu Coast or Los Angeles County Beaches today through Sunday, listen up. We're looking at a HIGH rip current risk, so please exercise extreme caution if you're venturing into the water. Surf heights are running three to five feet with water temperatures between fifty-seven and sixty-four degrees. The swell is a mixed bag of west and south swells keeping things interesting. No thunderstorms are expected, so at least we've got that going for us. This high rip current risk carries through Monday as well with the same three to five foot surf and mixed swell conditions. Heading north to Ventura County Beaches, same story. HIGH rip current risk through Sunday and into Monday. Three to five foot surf with slightly warmer water temperatures ranging from sixty-one to sixty-five degrees. Again, we're seeing that mixed west and south swell action. Stay smart out there and respect those rips. Santa Barbara County's southwestern and southeastern coasts are looking at a MODERATE rip current risk, which is a step down but still something to keep in mind. Surf heights here are a bit smaller at two to four feet, with water temps hovering around sixty degrees. The swell is primarily coming from the west. Conditions remain moderate through Monday with similar heights and a mix of west and south swells developing. Now, if you're a big wave enthusiast, the San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Central Coast beaches are where the action is. We're talking six to nine foot surf this afternoon through Sunday, driven by a solid north swell. Water temperatures are the coolest of the region at fifty-two to fifty-four degrees, so break out that thicker wetsuit. Come Monday, west-facing beaches will see three to five feet while south-facing beaches maintain that impressive six to nine foot range, still fueled by that north swell. The water stays cold at that northern latitude. Bottom line: If you're in the LA or Ventura area, respect those high rip currents and stay aware. Santa Barbara surfers, stay moderate in your approach. And if you're chasing bigger waves, head north where the swell is pumping. Be safe out there and have fun.

Transcribe →Southern California Surf Forecast Saturday: 6 to 9 Foot Waves Central Coast, High Rip Currents Warning
Jun 600:02:18Tap to summarizeGood morning, this is your Saturday surf forecast for Southern California beaches, brought to you by the National Weather Service Los Angeles and Oxnard office. Let's start down south in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara's central coast. If you're chasing that serious swell, this is your zone. Northwest facing beaches are looking at a solid six to nine feet today and tomorrow, while southwest facing breaks are handling three to six feet. The water temperature is on the chilly side at fifty-two to fifty-four degrees, so you'll want that wetsuit. Conditions are clean with west swell throughout the weekend, and there's no thunderstorm activity expected to ruin your session. Moving up the coast to Santa Barbara's southwestern and southeastern shores, things are backing off a bit. You're looking at one to three foot waves, which is perfect if you're just getting started or prefer a more mellow vibe. Water temperatures hover around fifty-nine to sixty degrees, and rip current risk stays low both days. The mixed south and west swell should keep things fairly consistent through Sunday. Now let's talk about Ventura County beaches, where conditions are ramping up again. High rip current risk is in effect today and Sunday, so pay attention to those warning signs. Surf heights are hitting three to five feet with water temperatures in the comfortable mid-sixties. The mixed west and south swell creates some dynamic conditions, and low tides hit around nine thirty in the morning both days, which could be your window for cleaner waves. Finally, the Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County beaches are lighting up with high rip current risk warnings throughout the weekend. Three to five foot waves, water temperatures between fifty-seven and sixty-four degrees, and that same mixed swell pattern. High tides peak in the early morning hours and again around five in the afternoon, so timing is everything if you want to catch the best conditions while staying safe. Bottom line: high rip current risk along much of this stretch means be smart, swim near lifeguard towers, and check conditions before you paddle out. No thunderstorms expected anywhere, so it's mostly just about reading those currents and picking your spot wisely. Have fun out there.

Saturday looks similar with that same one to three foot pattern, so it's a nice, relaxed vibe for those who prefer smaller, more manageable conditions. Now here's where things get more interesting. Over at Ventura County beaches, we're seeing three to five foot surf for both today and tomorrow, but listen up, there's a HIGH rip current risk both days. That means life threatening rip currents are likely, so you need to be smart out there. Know how to spot them and know how to escape them if you get caught. Water temps are in the comfortable zone at sixty two to sixty four degrees. No thunderstorms expected, so at least the weather will cooperate. Same story over at the Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County beaches. You're looking at three to five foot waves with that HIGH rip current risk in effect today and tomorrow. Water's a touch cooler here, ranging from fifty seven to sixty five degrees. It's mixed south and west swell both days, so there should be some fun shaped waves in there.

Transcribe →Southern California Surf Forecast June 4-5 2026 High Rip Currents 3-8 Foot Waves
Jun 400:02:29Tap to summarizeGood morning, this is your surf zone forecast for Thursday, June fourth through Friday, June fifth, twenty twenty-six. Let's start down south in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara's central coast where conditions are looking pretty robust. We're expecting five to eight foot waves throughout today and tomorrow, powered by a northwest swell today that shifts to a west swell by Friday. Water temps are running cool at fifty-three to fifty-five degrees, so definitely bring that wetsuit. There's no rip current risk statement for this area, but conditions are definitely more energetic than you'll find further south. Moving up to Santa Barbara County's southwestern and southeastern coasts, things mellow out a bit. We're looking at two to four foot surf with a moderate rip current risk for both today and tomorrow. The water's a bit warmer here at sixty-two to sixty-four degrees, and you'll see a mix of west and south swell energy. The moderate rip current risk means life threatening rips are possible, so keep your wits about you out there. Ventura County beaches are firing up today with a high rip current risk. Three to five foot waves with mixed west and south swell, water temps at a pleasant sixty-two to sixty-four degrees. Here's the thing though: the high rip current risk means life threatening rips are likely, so this is not a day to be cavalier about your beach safety. Conditions stay similar Friday with the same high rip current risk and three to five foot surf. Finally, let's look at the Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County beaches. We've got three to five foot waves today with a high rip current risk and water temps between fifty-nine and sixty-three degrees. Again, that high risk means life threatening rips are likely, so exercise serious caution. Friday brings more of the same: three to five foot surf, high rip currents, and mixed swell directions. The takeaway here is that the rip current game is strong across most of the southern California coast today and tomorrow. If you're heading out, know your limits, understand how to escape a rip current by swimming parallel to shore, and consider staying out of the water if you're not confident in rough conditions. The waves are solid, but respect the ocean. Get out there safely and enjoy the swell. For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
Transcribe →California Surf Forecast June 3-4: 1-9 Foot Waves, High Rip Current Risk, Best Conditions San Luis Obispo
Jun 300:02:36Tap to summarizeGood morning, this is your surf zone forecast for Wednesday, June third through Thursday, June fourth. Let's start down south in Santa Barbara County where conditions are shaping up pretty nicely. You're looking at one to three feet with local sets reaching four feet. The moderate rip current risk means life threatening rip currents are possible, so keep your eyes open out there. Water temps are holding steady in the low sixties, and you've got mixed south and west swell working the zone. That low tide hits just before eight in the morning, then high tide comes through around three o'clock in the afternoon. Moving up the coast to San Luis Obispo and the Santa Barbara Central Coast, things are getting more interesting. Northwest facing beaches are starting at three to six feet today but really ramping up to six to nine feet by evening. Southwest facing beaches will see three to six feet throughout the day. Water's a touch chilly at fifty six to fifty eight degrees, but that north swell should keep you plenty entertained. The low tide window opens up around eight thirteen in the morning with that high tide pushing through mid afternoon. Over in Ventura County, we're bumping up to high rip current risk, so listen up. You're looking at three to five feet of surf with that mixed south and west swell combination. Water temperature's holding at sixty to sixty two degrees. The tide schedule mirrors what we're seeing elsewhere with that early morning low around seven twenty five and the afternoon high near two twenty three. And finally, hitting the Malibu Coast and LA County beaches, same story with high rip current risk in effect. Three to five feet out there with water temps ranging from fifty nine to sixty seven degrees. That mixed south and west swell is keeping things consistent. High rip current risk means life threatening rip currents are likely, so make sure you understand how to identify and escape a rip if you get caught in one. Looking ahead to Thursday, these conditions persist across all zones. The high rip current risk continues for Ventura and LA County while Santa Barbara stays at moderate. Surf heights hold steady at three to five feet in the north and one to three feet down south. That northwest swell keeps the San Luis Obispo northwest facing beaches in that six to nine foot range. Bottom line, we've got solid conditions across the board but respect that rip current risk no matter where you're heading. Water's cool but manageable, and that swell direction is working beautifully for most exposures. Get out there and have fun, but stay smart.
