South Orange County Forecast
Matt Kibby •Today
Rippable southerly swell mix is cleanest through the morning window. Find wind blockage in the PM.
Dawn to 10am: SSW-SW swell from Elida will slowly ease, while some new Southern Hemi swell is filling in to help keep up surf heights. Pretty good size at many breaks (waist-chest-head high).

Afternoon Outlook: Light to moderate WSW wind builds for the afternoon and evening.
