California Surf Forecast Wednesday Thursday April 15 16 Waves Santa Barbara Ventura Los Angeles County
Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description
Good morning! This is your surf zone forecast for Wednesday, April 15th through Thursday, April 16th, brought to you by the National Weather Service Los Angeles and Oxnard offices.
Let's start down south in Santa Barbara County. The southwestern and southeastern coasts are looking pretty mellow today with surf running one to three feet and a low rip current risk. Water temps are hovering around fifty-eight degrees, so you might want that wetsuit. Tomorrow brings similar conditions with the same small surf and low rip current risk, though we'll see a northwest swell moving in.
Heading north to the Santa Barbara Central Coast and San Luis Obispo County beaches, things are picking up a bit. Today you're looking at three to six feet of surf with west swell dominating. Water temps are a bit chilly at fifty-four to fifty-eight degrees. Now here's where it gets interesting for Thursday. Northwest facing beaches are going to see a significant bump with five to eight feet of surf, while southwest facing beaches will see three to five feet. That's some quality waves rolling in from a fresh northwest swell.
Moving into Ventura County, we've got moderate rip current risk today and tomorrow. Surf is two to four feet with mixed west and south swell working together. Water temps are a comfortable sixty-one to sixty-three degrees. Tomorrow the south swell component drops out, but you're still looking at that same two to four foot range with moderate rip current risk still in effect.
The Los Angeles County beaches and Malibu Coast are also forecasted with moderate rip current risk both days. Today's surf is running two to four feet with mixed west and south swell, and water temps range from fifty-nine to sixty-five degrees depending on your exact location. Thursday continues the moderate rip current risk with the same two to four foot surf, but the south swell fades and you're left with pure west swell energy.
One thing that's consistent across the entire forecast is no thunderstorm activity, so you can leave those concerns at home. Keep an eye on those rip currents though, especially in Ventura County and the LA area where moderate risk is in effect. Remember, if you get caught in a rip current, swim parallel to shore to escape it.
That's your surf zone forecast. Get out there and enjoy some time in the water!
