Current Surf Conditions

Last updated: Apr 10, 2026 at 8:30 PM PDT

Huntington is seeing playable waves with solid energy mainly due to good swell timing, though the swell direction is off the ideal window, which means waves might not fully line up. Winds are steady side-shore and moderate, adding some texture but not wrecking the surface. The tide is dropping near 3 feet and scoring excellent, so waves should still be holding together well for a decent session.

Quick Conditions Snapshot

2.6 ft swell at 15 seconds from SSW, west wind at 10 mph, dropping tide near 3.2 ft, water temp 64°F, air temp 60°F.
