Los Angeles, CA Surf Report for 04-12-2025
Published 1 year ago
Description
Surf's up, wave riders! This is your coastal conditions breakdown for the California shoreline from Malibu to San Luis Obispo.
Buckle up for a wild weekend of surf action! We're looking at some serious wave energy rolling in with heights ranging from 3 to 6 feet - and in some spots like San Luis Obispo, we're talking potential monsters up to 9 feet. Ventura County is going to see local sets pushing 7 feet Saturday afternoon, so adrenaline junkies take note.
Rip current risk is no joke right now. Malibu and Ventura are sitting at HIGH alert, meaning those ocean currents are seriously spicy and could turn your beach day into a rescue mission. Santa Barbara's southwestern and southeastern coasts are at MODERATE risk, so stay sharp and respect the water.
Water temperatures are chilly, hovering between 50 and 59 degrees. You'll want that wetsuit, surfers! We've got a mixed swell scenario with west and south swells creating some interesting wave dynamics.
Tidal movements are going to be pretty dynamic too. Expect low tides around 0.1 feet in the morning and highs reaching up to 5.4 feet later in the day. The good news? No thunderstorms are expected to crash our surf party.
Bottom line: If you're an experienced surfer, this could be an epic weekend. If you're a beginner, maybe stick to watching from the beach. Stay safe, respect the ocean, and catch those waves wisely!
