Matt Kibby •Today
Rippable southerly swell mix continues. There's texture but surf stays rideable this afternoon.
Afternoon Outlook: Steady onshore SW wind adding lump and bump across the region this afternoon. SSW-SW swell from Elida eases, but stays fun while some new Southern Hemi swell is filling in to help keep up surf heights. Many breaks in the waist-chest-head high range, as top spots still see some overhead sets. Shape is best for spots with structure but there's corners around the beachbreaks.
Onshore SW/WSW wind sticks around into the evening before eventually backing down late.

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
