Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Southern California surf zone forecast for Monday, April 13th, brought to you by the National Weather Service Los Angeles and Oxnard offices.
Let's start down south in Santa Barbara County, where conditions are looking pretty mellow today. The southwestern and southeastern coasts are expecting one to three foot surf with light winds and that refreshing northwest swell rolling through. Water temps are hovering around sixty degrees, so you might want to grab a light wetsuit. The rip current risk is low, so it's a great day for beginners or anyone looking to paddle out without too much drama.
Moving up the coast to the Santa Barbara Central Coast and San Luis Obispo County beaches, things are getting more interesting. Here you're looking at four to seven foot surf today with a nice west swell pushing through. This is definitely more for the intermediate to advanced crowd. Water temperatures are still in the upper fifties to low sixties, and again, the rip current risk is low. This is shaping up to be a solid day if you're looking for some real waves.
Now let's head north to Ventura County beaches. The swell is mixing north and south components today, creating some fun, varied conditions. You're looking at two to four foot faces with water temps in the low sixties. Here's where things get a bit spicy though, with a moderate rip current risk in effect. If you're heading out, make sure you know how to identify and escape a rip current. They're manageable, but definitely something to respect.
The Malibu Coast and LA County beaches are also firing with two to four foot surf and a moderate rip current risk as well. The swell here is coming from a mix of west and south directions, creating some nice variety throughout the day. Water temps are ranging from fifty nine to sixty three degrees depending on the exact location. Again, that moderate rip current warning means conditions are possible for life threatening rips, so stay aware and stay safe out there.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, expect very similar conditions across the board. The moderate rip current risk continues for Ventura County and LA beaches, while Santa Barbara County stays nice and mellow with low risk. Swell heights will be comparable, though the central coast and San Luis Obispo might see a slight decrease from four to seven down to three to six feet. It's looking like a solid two day stretch if you're planning a beach day.
One more thing to remember, there's no thunderstorm activity expected anywhere along the coast, so you don't have to worry about lightning today or tomorrow. Just grab your board, check those tides, and have a great time out on the water.
