Los Angeles, CA Surf Report for 04-10-2025
Published 1 year ago
Description
Surf's up, beach lovers! Get ready for some serious wave action along the Southern California coastline. The National Weather Service is sounding the alarm with a high rip current risk that demands your full attention.
From Malibu to Santa Barbara, we're looking at some serious surf conditions that will test even the most experienced wave riders. Today's swells are running 3 to 5 feet along the Malibu and Los Angeles County beaches, with Ventura County seeing similar action. If you're a hardcore surfer, these waves might look tempting, but proceed with extreme caution.
The water's chilly, ranging from 54 to 58 degrees, so you'll want that wetsuit locked and loaded. Tides are going to be dramatic today, with multiple high and low points that'll keep things interesting. Malibu and LA beaches will see a low of just 0.3 feet and a high reaching up to 5.0 feet.
As we roll into Friday, things are heating up - or should we say, swelling up! Surf heights are bumping up to 3 to 6 feet, with a mix of southwest and west swells creating some seriously complex wave patterns. Santa Barbara's looking at a progression from moderate to high rip current risk, so even experienced surfers need to stay sharp.
The marine forecast is clear on one thing: these are not your average beach days. Life-threatening rip currents are likely, which means if you're not 100% confident in your ocean skills, today might be better spent watching from the sand.
Water temperatures are holding steady in the mid-50s, so full wetsuit gear is mandatory. Whether you're in Ventura, Santa Barbara, or San Luis Obispo, the message is the same - respect the ocean, know your limits, and stay safe out there.
Catch you on the waves - carefully!
