Mondos, Ventura County — Surf & Weather Report

Tuesday, October 20, 2026 | 1:51 PM PDT

1. Wave Sizes

Surf Height: Knee to thigh high (1–2 ft) with occasional waist-high sets on larger long-period pulses.

Break Overview: Mondos is a heavily sheltered point/cove setup. Deep-water ocean swells lose significant energy as they wrap past the Channel Islands and line up into the shallow cobble/sand bay. Longboards, fish, and soft-tops are recommended for soft, rolling main point waves.

2. Current Weather

Conditions: Mostly Clear

Temperature: 63°F (Today's High: 70°F)

Current Wind: WSW at 6 mph (Light Sideshore)

Wind Trend: Light morning offshore/variable breeze shifting to gentle WSW/W onshore during the early afternoon, tapering back to light and variable late evening.

3. Tides

4. Later Today & Tomorrow

Primary Swell: WNW (290°) — 4.4 ft at 14s (Dampened inside Ventura Channel)

Secondary Swell: SSW (190°) — 2.1 ft at 15s

Outlook: Waves will hold steady around 1–2 ft through the rest of today with clean peeling lines on the incoming afternoon tide. Tomorrow (Wednesday, Oct 21) brings similar knee-to-thigh high surf as small long-period WNW energy continues to blend with weak southerly background swell.

``` Would you like me to generate a report for another coastal location or surf break? Would you like to adjust the formatting or multi-day swell outlook for Ventura County? Do you want to add any other nearby buoy stations to the secondary telemetry line (e.g., East Santa Barbara 46053 or Santa Monica Basin)?
