North Orange County Forecast
Matt Kibby •Today
Fun zone surf continues as some new swell joins in. AM onshore crumble, breezier PM conditions.
Dawn-10am: SW Southern Hemi holds, old SSW tropical swell fades, a little nudge in NW windswell joins in, and some SSE Fausto swell starts to sneak in. That'll help shape at the beachbreaks.

Afternoon Outlook: Moderate to breezy WSW/SW afternoon sea breeze.
