The ocean conditions are looking good for surfers, with a surf height of 2.0 feet, which is ankle to knee high and perfect for beginners. The water temperature is a warm 76°F, so you can get away with just boardshorts. However, please be aware that the rip current data is unavailable today, so it's essential to check with the lifeguard on duty before entering the water.

Just be sure to stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade if needed.
