Description

Surf's up, wave riders! The Southern California coast is serving up some serious swell action this weekend. We're looking at a high-risk rip current situation that demands your full attention and respect.

Orange County beaches are about to get hammered with 4 to 7-foot waves, potentially reaching up to 8 feet on those south and southwest facing shorelines. San Diego County isn't far behind, with 3 to 5-foot surf that could spike to 6 feet in certain zones.

A potent south swell is charging in from 180 to 200 degrees, bringing some serious power to the coastline. Water temperatures are hovering between a chilly 64 and 69 degrees, so you'll want that wetsuit ready.

Tide schedule highlights include a high tide at Newport Beach around 1:45 PM today, climbing to 4.6 feet, then dropping to a low of 1.2 feet by 11:07 PM. La Jolla follows a similar pattern with its high tide at 1:35 PM.

Thunderstorms? Not in the forecast. But those rip currents are the real deal - we're talking high-risk conditions that could turn a fun day into a dangerous situation fast. Experienced surfers, stay sharp. Beginners, this might not be your day to paddle out.

Bottom line: If you're hitting the water, bring your A-game, stay alert, and know your limits. These waves are not playing around. Stay safe, stay smart, and catch some epic rides!
