North Orange County Forecast
Schaler Perry •Today
Fun surf for the mid-AM to early PM window. Mind the low tide if you're surfing early.
Dawn to 10am: Peaking SSW swell spreads waist-chest-high surf around. Better breaks along the West Newport to HB Pier stretch go upwards of head-high with some larger sets in the mix at times. A little bit of NW energy mixing in, not enough for proper peaks, but the open beachbreaks should at least be in play with workable sections and the odd open corner. Dawn patrol is drained, wait for the tide push.
Afternoon Outlook: Building onshore westerly flow and plenty of lump and bump.

River Jetties Surf Guide
Santa Ana River Jetties is the most consistent spot in Newport. It is, however, extremely varied in shape and depends on the contour of the sandbars. Lefts tend to be fast and predominant during S swells and can turn hollow on a light offshore wind. Westerly winds easily blow out the spot. In winter, the break is far peakier. Steep peaks are found on the right tide, but if you don't surf the spot regularly, the chances of a great day are slim. Read more
