Doheny (north end) · 0.9 m · 3 ft · wind W 6 mph
Swell, wind and water temperature for the three main breaks. Read this next to the beach guide, because at Doheny 'can I surf' and 'should I' are different questions — the water near the creek mouth carries bacteria advisories often enough to check every time.
Check water quality before paddling out — ocbeachinfo.com or 714-433-6400 — especially within 72 hours of rain.
