Hey there, surfers and beachgoers! It's time to check out what the waves have in store for us along the Orange County and San Diego County coastal areas according to the National Weather Service.

Let's start with Orange County. Today, we've got a high rip current risk, so be mindful out there. The surf height is ranging from 3 to 6 feet, with no thunderstorms on the horizon. The water temperature is a bit chilly, between 58 to 63 degrees. And check out those tides at Newport Beach, ranging from high to low throughout the day. Plus, we've got a mixed swell coming in from both 200 and 270 degrees.

Looking ahead to Thursday, the rip current risk remains high with similar surf heights and no thunderstorm potential. Keep an eye on those changing tides at Newport Beach, and get ready for more of that mixed swell action from 200 and 280 degrees.

Now, let's head south to San Diego County. Similar to Orange County, we're dealing with a high rip current risk today. Surf heights are slightly lower here, ranging from 3 to 5 feet, with sets reaching up to 6 feet. The water temperature is a bit cooler, between 58 to 60 degrees. And over at La Jolla, tides will be fluctuating throughout the day, with a mixed swell coming from 220 and 280 degrees.

Looking towards Thursday, the rip current risk remains high, with surf heights decreasing slightly to 2 to 4 feet. Again, no thunderstorms expected and tides will be changing at La Jolla. Keep an eye out for that mixed swell from 220 and 280 degrees.

Remember, high rip current risk means life-threatening conditions are likely, so surf and swim with caution, folks!
