South Orange County Forecast
Matt Kibby •Today
Size stays pretty fun as SSW swell sticks around. Best to try and hit the early window.
Dawn-10am: SSW swell sticking around for waist-chest high surf, pushing shoulder-head high for better breaks as summer standouts go a foot or two overhead. Bit more of a tide window early in the AM before shape drains out, likely the best of the day, winds lightest then too.
Afternoon Outlook: It'll be tougher to take advantage of the tide rebound midday as onshores pick up and get lumpy before there's enough water for shape to improve significantly.
