Surfline.com forecaster Kevin Wallis gives us a look at what’s happening on the OC coast this weekend:

The recent passage of a cold front will keep beach temps cooler than what we’ve seen of late for the middle part of the week. On Wednesday we’ll see breezy northeast wind early, shifting northwest in the afternoon with beach temps topping out around the mid 60’s, with clear skies. The second half of the week will bring slightly warmer weather with sunny skies and very pleasant conditions at the beach; light wind in the mornings will give way to light to moderate onshore westerly winds in the afternoon. Our water temps remain very pleasant for this time of year, mainly in the middle 60’s.
 
Our surf on Wednesday will be a northwest windswell, bringing crossed up and very peaky surf in the 2-4’ range for many spots in the county.  Select spots that really favor the northwest windswell will see waves up to 5-6’. Dropping surf takes over on Thursday (a little more than half the size of Wednesday), with a further decrease in surf on Friday, when it looks quite small.

Heading a little further out, the weekend of Halloween is looking quite small as well; stay tuned to Surfline.com for the latest details on any potential swells. Have fun, be safe and we’ll see you out in the water!
