Ventura Forecast
Chris Borg •Today
Fun to locally mid-size surf today with clean AM conditions, manageable afternoon bump.
Dawn to 10:00AM: SSW swell tops out over the morning and mixes with a decent amount of shorter period NW swell. Widespread waist high+ waves. Better SW and combo breaks hit chest-shoulder-high as standouts go head-high+. Not peaky but enough NW swell for some beachbreak corners -- especially on the mid AM tide push. Light/variable winds early, go light WSW mid morning.
Afternoon Outlook: Waves hold. Mellow WSW wind crumble through mid afternoon, then onshores ease going into the evening.
