Central Coast Surf Forecast Tuesday: 3 to 6 Foot Waves, High Rip Currents, Beach Hazards Statement in Effect
from Surf Report for Los Angeles California · host Inception Point AI
Good morning, this is your Tuesday morning surf zone forecast for the Central Coast. We're looking at some solid conditions developing over the next couple of days with a Beach Hazards Statement in effect through Thursday morning and a Coastal Flood Advisory through Wednesday night for the LA and Malibu areas. Let's start with the Malibu and LA County beaches where things are getting interesting. Today you're looking at three to six foot waves with a high rip current risk, so respect the water and know what you're getting into. The water's sitting at a comfortable fifty-eight to sixty-eight degrees, and we've got a mixed south and northwest swell working together to create some nice shape. That high tide at one o'clock in the afternoon is going to push nearly four feet, and then we'll see it ramp up to almost seven feet late tonight around eleven forty-two. Wednesday follows a similar pattern with the same three to six foot surf and high rip currents continuing, so if you're thinking about heading out, buddy system is highly recommended. The swell transitions slightly to mixed south and west tomorrow, keeping things interesting. Ventura County's a bit more protected with two to four foot waves and a moderate rip current risk both today and tomorrow. Water temp's holding steady in the mid-sixties, which is pretty pleasant for this time of year. The tides are almost identical to Malibu's, so plan accordingly. Down in Santa Barbara, the southwestern and southeastern coasts are looking calmer this morning with just one to three foot waves and a low rip current risk. However, things flip Wednesday when conditions build to two to four feet with moderate rip currents expected as that mixed south and west swell fills in. Water temps down here are a crisp sixty-three to sixty-five degrees. Finally, out on the San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Central Coast beaches, you're working with three to five foot waves today in some seriously cold water, fifty-two to fifty-four degrees, so full wetsuits are the order of the day. By Wednesday, that swell's going to build up to three to six feet with a mixed south and northwest swell making an appearance. No thunderstorms expected anywhere along the coast, so at least you won't have that to worry about. The bottom line is we've got solid, rideable waves throughout the zone with rip currents being the main hazard to watch. Stay safe out there and respect the ocean.
