North Orange County Forecast
Kevin Wallis •Today
Solid day of waves, some SW wind crumble for the morning. Afternoon bump manageable.
SW swell tops out for chest-shoulder high waves at average spots. Better breaks from the HB Pier south see head-high to a bit overhead surf and standouts go a couple of feet overhead. Just enough NW swell mix for the odd corner, but pretty lined up at open beachbreaks overall.
Light S-SW wind early will pick up some through the morning but never looks like a deal breaker. Light bump through the afternoon and I'd keep an eye on the evening window with onshore winds mellowing out.

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
