Southern California Surf Forecast Thursday to Saturday Waves Rip Currents and Water Temps by Region
Published 9 hours ago
Description
Good afternoon, I'm bringing you the latest surf zone forecast for Southern California this Thursday through Saturday.
Let's start down south in Santa Barbara County where conditions are looking mellow. We're expecting one to three foot waves with light winds and low rip current risk through Friday. Water temps hovering around fifty-nine degrees, so a light wetsuit will keep you comfortable. Saturday looks similar, so if you're in that area and want some relaxed beach time, these are your days.
Moving up the coast to San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara's central beaches, things are picking up nicely. Four to seven foot surf this afternoon through Friday with a mix of west swell and some south swell action rolling in. Water temps between fifty-six and sixty-four degrees depending on where you are. Saturday the swell backs off slightly to three to six feet, but still solid. These beaches are your best bet if you're looking for some real waves to ride.
Now let's talk about the LA area beaches and Malibu coast. Two to four foot surf with moderate rip current risk through Friday and into Saturday. The swell is a nice mix of west and south, water's running fifty-nine to sixty-six degrees. That moderate rip current risk means life threatening currents are possible, so if you're heading out, swim near lifeguard stations and know how to escape a rip by swimming parallel to shore.
Finally, Ventura County beaches need your attention. Here's where things get more serious with a high rip current risk Friday and Saturday. Life threatening rip currents are likely, so this is not the time for casual swimmers. If you're experienced and going out, stay alert and buddy up. Two to four foot surf, around fifty-nine degree water, with that same mixed swell pattern we're seeing everywhere else.
Bottom line: Santa Barbara County is your calm, mellow option. San Luis Obispo and the central coast have the best waves. LA beaches are solid but watch those rips. And Ventura County demands respect and caution this weekend. Check conditions before you head out and always prioritize safety.
