Another fun SSW swell moves in through the day. Morning tide push the cleanest option.
Dawn-10am: Fresh SSW swell will fill in over the weekend. It's a little slow on the drained tide early, gets better on the tide push. Waist-chest high waves on tap for average spots early, pushing head-high high for better breaks on the tide push. Breaks with structure have the best shape without much NW windswell. Variable to light onshore wind early.
Afternoon Outlook: Wind creeps onshore by midday, moderate WNW flow building for the afternoon. A little more size but also bump/texture then.

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
