Blackies Current Conditions Summary

Blackies in Newport Beach, CA is a beach break. Current conditions: 2-3ft waves, w 5–10 mph, falling → low tide. Good swell, but tide is dropping through the window. Blackies is the clearest missing North OC add: a Newport Pier northside sandy beachbreak and longboard zone that works for learners on genuinely small, clean mornings. Treat Blackies as a beginner and longboard beachbreak only when it is small. Avoid tiny high-tide sessions, summer restrictions, crowded pier traffic, or any punchy inside setup. Forecasts are updated every 3 hours using ML-corrected NOAA models with live buoy data from CDIP, NDBC, and IOOS stations.
