Surf at Doheny features good quality waves around 2.6 ft with a solid 15-second period, coming from the SSW, which provides consistent energy but somewhat outside the ideal swell direction window. The northwest wind at 15 mph is good and offshore, improving wave shape, and is trending toward lighter conditions. The tide is currently rising near 1 ft, which is scored as poor for surf quality, so tide effects are likely limiting peak performance right now. Water temperature is a comfortable 62°F with sunny skies and highs near 71°F.

Expect solid surf with clean shape improving as offshore winds persist and tide rises further. While swell direction is slightly outside ideal, wave period and height provide fun, punchy sets. Cooler water at 62°F suggests a thinner wetsuit or spring suit.
