Matt Kibby •Today
Rippable southerly swell mix is cleanest through the morning window. Onshore flow and texture in PM
Dawn to 10am: A touch of SE/S wind lump, looking manageable to start and should stay that way through much of the morning. SSW-SW swell from Elida eases, 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.

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
