* Beware of the Urban Runoff – It is advised to stay out of the water for 72 hours following any measurable rain fall. It’s always a roll of the dice, especially after a major downpour. The threat of getting sick is very real so if you do insist on taking the plunge be sure to use ear plugs an upon exiting the ocean, rinse off in hot water, use some alcohol based ear drops… and a nasal netti pot rinse for good measure never hurt anybody.

For Saturday morning that swell will peak with the same 12-14 second intervals from a very Westerly 275-285 degree angle. The standout West facing beaches should see OH to WOH, (Well Over Head), sets with some waves possibly reaching the DOH mark. The conditions look better on paper today so it will definitely be worth a look!

* A high tide of 6.14 feet at 09:04 AM will make things interesting for the morning session… watch your back getting in and out of the water!

* Also, there’s fresh Urban Runoff out there so play it safe.

The conditions have been flip flopping on the wind models all week but from what I can tell we’re looking at some kind of a half assed Santa Ana conditions. Hopefully the winds clock around to a NNE direction but only time will tell. See model below to draw your own conclusions! FINALLY, there’s a 0% chance of rain and the air temp jumps up to 71 degrees.

For Monday morning that swell will be on its last legs with chest high + sets for the best West facing beaches on the early morning tide push and from there the surf will continue to slow down throughout the afternoon.

The conditions should be fair with N/NNE winds at 1-8 MPH until noon, (stronger below passes and canyons), and 6-10 out of the West in the afternoon. There’s 0% chance of rain and the air temp dips a hair to 69 degrees.

For Tuesday morning we’ll slide into the waist to maybe chest high zone for the West facing breaks. The morning tide push looks to be the best bet as the surf will become weaker and weaker as we head into the afternoon.
