CDIP Buoy 071 (Harvest) and CDIP Buoy 103 (Topanga Nearshore) telemetry indicate a persistent long-period west-northwest swell train combined with a High Surf Advisory event. Actual surf at Ventura County breaks is running waist to head high (3-5 ft) across standard open-exposure beach breaks like C Street and Silver Strand. Steeper winter angles bring overhead sets up to shoulder to head high on the outer bars. Protected spots are cleaner with smaller waist-high peelers.
Current conditions are overcast and humid with a temperature of 55°F. Today's expected high is 72°F under mostly cloudy skies with increasing rain chances by late afternoon. Winds are currently light and variable around 3 mph, trending onshore from the southwest at 10-15 mph by afternoon.
