Orange County skimboarding forecast

Live skimboarding conditions for 29 beaches in Orange County, California. Each beach gets a skim score from 0 to 10, built from shorebreak size, how close the waves break to the sand, wind, tide and swell quality. 8 or higher is a W Skim.

Steeper beaches here, like Doheny, Aliso Beach, Victoria Beach, Corona del Mar, usually skim best around mid tide, when waves break right on the sand. Flatter, wider beaches, like San Clemente, Crystal Cove, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, are better near low tide and on small days for flatland.
