Ventura County's got a spicier scene with surf heights pumping 3 to 5 feet. The rip current risk is high, so experienced surfers only! Water temperatures are slightly cooler at 59 to 63 degrees.

For the hardcore wave hunters heading to San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Central Coast, northwest facing beaches are delivering serious power with 6 to 9 foot swells. Southwest facing beaches are more mellow at 2 to 4 feet. Water's extra cold at 50 to 55 degrees, so full winter gear is a must.
Tides are dancing throughout the day with multiple high and low points. Today's primary swells are coming from the west and northwest, promising some clean lines for those willing to brave the conditions.
Remember surfers - respect the ocean, know your limits, and stay safe out there! Catch you on the waves.
