Ventura County Beaches will experience a high surf advisory from Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon. Surf heights of 4 to 7 feet, with local sets reaching 8 feet. This area also has a high rip current risk, so be cautious when hitting the waves. Friday will see the surf heights drop slightly to 3 to 6 feet in the afternoon.

Moving on to Santa Barbara County, expect 3 to 5 feet of surf on Thursday with a high rip current risk. Friday will bring 3 to 6 feet of surf and continued high rip current risks. Water temperatures are looking refreshing at 58 to 60 degrees, perfect for a post-surf dip!
