Southern California Surf Forecast Thursday to Saturday: 4 to 7 Feet North, Mellow Waves South
Published 8 hours ago
Description
Here's your surf forecast for Southern California this Thursday through Saturday.
Let's start in the north where San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara's central coast are looking prime. These areas are expecting four to seven feet of surf this afternoon through Friday, with that number dropping slightly to three to six feet on Saturday. The water's sitting in that brisk fifty-six to sixty-four degree range, so you'll definitely want to suit up. West swell is driving the action, and there's no thunderstorm activity expected, so it'll be a clean window to get out there.
Moving south to Santa Barbara's southwestern and southeastern coasts, conditions are more subdued. You're looking at one to three feet both today through Friday and on Saturday, with low rip current risk across the board. Water temps are holding around fifty-nine degrees. The west swell is still the main player here, making for mellow conditions perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a relaxed session.
Now over to Ventura County beaches, and this is where things get more serious. High rip current risk is in effect this afternoon through Friday and continues into Saturday. That's not a warning to stay out, but rather a heads-up to be smart and respect the water. You're still looking at two to four foot surf with water temps around fifty-nine degrees. Mixed west and south swells are combining here, creating more dynamic conditions.
The Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County beaches are sitting in moderate rip current territory, so conditions here are slightly less intense than Ventura but still warrant attention. Two to four foot waves are on tap through Saturday with water temps between fifty-nine and sixty-six degrees. Again, you've got that mixed west and south swell creating interesting waves.
Bottom line: if you're hunting for the biggest waves, head north to the central coast. If you're after something smaller and more mellow, Santa Barbara's your spot. And if you're comfortable reading rip currents and want solid, medium-sized waves, Ventura and LA County have what you're looking for. No storms anywhere, so visibility should be solid. Get out there and have fun, but always respect the ocean.
