South Orange County Forecast
Schaler Perry •Today
Rippable southerly swell mix is cleanest through the morning window. Find wind blockage in the PM.
Dawn to 10am: Likely to be a touch of S wind lump but it should be manageable through much of the morning. 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). Top spots still see some overhead sets. Shape is best for spots with structure but there's corners around the beachbreaks.
Afternoon Outlook: Light to moderate WSW wind builds for the afternoon and evening.
