Los Angeles, CA Surf Report for 04-13-2025
Published 1 year ago
Description
Surf's up, wave warriors! The Pacific is brewing some serious ocean action this weekend, so listen up and get ready for an epic coastal forecast.
Malibu and LA County beaches are looking at a gnarly surf scene with waves ranging 3 to 6 feet and some isolated sets pushing up to 7 feet. Pro tip: the rip current risk is HIGH, so unless you're a seasoned water athlete, think twice before paddling out. Water temperatures are hovering between a chilly 55 and 59 degrees, so grab that wetsuit.
Ventura County is singing a similar swell song - expect the same wave conditions with a high rip current warning. Water's slightly warmer here, ranging 57 to 61 degrees. Those mixed west and south swells are creating some seriously dynamic conditions.
But hold onto your board shorts, because the central and northern coastal regions are where things get intense! San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara are under a High Surf Advisory with waves cranking from 8 to 13 feet, especially on west to northwest facing beaches. These monster sets will gradually calm down to 6 to 9 feet Sunday morning.
Tides are looking spicy too, with multiple high and low cycles throughout the day. Lowest tide hits around 5-6 AM, with peaks midday and late evening.
Monday's forecast promises a more mellow vibe with surf dropping to 2-4 feet and rip current risks moderating. The ocean's still got some punch, but nothing like this weekend's wild ride.
Stay smart, stay safe, and read those conditions carefully. Respect the ocean - she's calling the shots today!
