North Orange County Forecast
Matt Kibby •Today
Steady onshore WNW wind continues this afternoon. Onshore flow lightens late but is still moderate.
Afternoon Outlook: Breezy onshore flow and tattered conditions this afternoon. 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. Widespread waves are chest-shoulder high, while best exposures go head high+. Onshore flow backs off some this evening but it'll still be moderate. Count on wind if you're trying to get a surf in this afternoon/evening.

Newport Lower Jetties Surf Guide
36th is a great place for average surfers in the summer. On big, closeout south swells, you can find fun peaks/left walls in that area. However, the closer you get to the pier the smaller the waves will be. The waves are more forgiving and mellower than the upper jetties. 36th can be fun with the winter's west swells too. Plus there's less crowd and it's less competitive than 28th Street and Blackies. (Hint: It's worth a check on big closeout south swells when the south wind is blowing.) Read more
