Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly •
Huntington Beach is seeing playable waves around waist to chest high coming from the west with a solid energy push, though the swell period is shorter than ideal. The south wind is light but drifting a bit more sideshore and will likely increase this afternoon, slightly affecting the wave consistency. The tide is dropping near mid-level and holding an excellent tide score, so it’s setting up well for a beach break session. Overall, it’s worth getting wet if you don’t mind a bit of punchy, quick-breaking action with manageable wind.
