EXPLANATION
What is driving today’s result?
NWS alert details: Coastal Flood Warning (Oct 25, 9:11 AM – Oct 29, 1:00 PM PDT). The Coastal Flood Warning is the primary reason today is NOT RECOMMENDED; this safety condition takes priority over otherwise favorable wave, wind, or weather inputs. Outside that safety stop, 2.0 ft wave height and 7 sec wave period would otherwise support the planning inputs.
LOCAL SURF CONTEXT
Surf locations near Newport Beach
Blackies near Newport Pier
Blackies is a recognized Newport Beach surf break near the pier and 28th Street jetty, with a sandbar shape influenced by these structures. This page represents nearby coastal forecast conditions, not a Blackies-specific wave camera or surf-height measurement.
Crowds, pier supports, rocks and changing sandbars can affect conditions. Check on-site rules and current official safety notices before entering.
Coverage: CoastalNow uses NOAA/NWS area forecasts and rule-based scores, not real-time measurements at this surf break. No wave direction, board suitability or guaranteed safe surf is inferred.
