Los Angeles, CA Surf Report for 04-09-2025
Published 1 year ago
Description
Surfers and beach lovers, get ready for some epic coastal conditions! The Pacific is serving up a serious swell along the Southern California coastline.
Malibu and Los Angeles County beaches are looking at some gnarly wave action with surf heights climbing 3 to 5 feet this afternoon and gradually settling to 2 to 4 feet by Wednesday. Water temps are chilly at 52 to 59 degrees, so grab that wetsuit!
Heads up - we've got a HIGH rip current risk right now. Translation: these waters mean business. Experienced surfers might be stoked, but casual swimmers should exercise extreme caution.
Over in Ventura County, the scene is similarly wild with surf heights ranging 3 to 6 feet, dropping to 2 to 4 feet. Water temperatures hover around 54 to 56 degrees. The west swell is bringing consistent energy to the coastline.
Santa Barbara's looking a bit mellower with moderate rip current conditions and surf heights between 2 to 4 feet, decreasing to 1 to 3 feet. Water temps sit around 53 to 55 degrees.
For the hardcore wave chasers up in San Luis Obispo, northwest facing beaches are delivering serious power with 5 to 8 foot swells, decreasing to 4 to 7 feet. South facing beaches offer a more modest 3 to 5 foot range.
Thursday promises slightly calmer conditions across all regions with reduced surf heights and transitioning from high to moderate rip current risks.
Bottom line: Bring your A-game, respect the ocean, and stay safe out there, wave riders!
