Good morning surfers, this is your Wednesday May 20th surf forecast for Orange County and San Diego County coastal areas. Let's start with today. If you're thinking about paddling out, we've got some mixed swell action coming in from the south and west, which means you'll be looking at surf heights between two and four feet. Not too shabby for a Wednesday. Water temps are sitting in the low to mid sixties, so you might want to grab that spring suit. Now here's the thing to watch out for. We're forecasting a moderate rip current risk for both Orange County and San Diego County beaches today. That means life threatening rip currents are definitely possible, so know what you're doing out there and respect the ocean. If you do find yourself caught in a rip, remember to stay calm and swim parallel to shore until you're out of the current. Looking at the tides, you've got a low at Newport Beach around eight nineteen in the morning, then a nice high tide at three twenty-two in the afternoon. Down in San Diego at La Jolla, the low hits around eight thirteen AM with that high tide coming in at three seventeen. These tidal movements will definitely affect how the waves are peeling, so time your session accordingly. Now let's talk Thursday. This is where things get a little different depending on where you are. Up in Orange County, we're dropping that rip current risk down to low. That's the good news. The bad news is the swell is going to ease back a bit to one to three feet as we shift to a more southerly swell pattern. Still rideable though. Down in San Diego County, we're keeping that moderate rip current risk going strong into Thursday. The upside is the swell is holding at two to four feet, so you might actually get better waves down south than up north. Same water temps in the low to mid sixties, so that spring suit is still your friend. Thursday's tides look pretty similar to today. You've got some early morning highs, a low tide in the morning around nine AM depending on your location, then another high tide mid-afternoon. Perfect timing if you can sneak out before work. No thunderstorms expected either day, so you've got clear sailing weather-wise. Overall, you're looking at a solid couple days in the water. Get out there and enjoy it.
