Oxnard is waking up to light rain and mist Friday, with a wetter stretch arriving later in the day and dangerous surf building along Ventura County beaches. The city should reach about 69 degrees, but the calm-looking weekend forecast comes with a serious coastal warning.
Rain Returns Before The Weekend Break
Showers may linger through the morning and early afternoon before steadier rain moves in late Friday afternoon or evening, according to the National Weather Service. Gusty southwest-to-northwest winds are possible, while Friday night brings more rain before 10 p.m. and a chance of showers afterward.
Rainfall from both waves is expected to total 0.25 to 1.00 inches for most areas, with locally higher amounts possible. Wet roads, reduced visibility and slick conditions are likely during the afternoon and evening push.
Sunny Saturday, Another Wet Turn Monday
Rain is expected through around noon Saturday, with a high near 69 degrees. Sunday should be partly cloudy near 70. The pattern then turns unsettled again Monday, when light rain and a high around 67 are expected.
The latest outlook is a sharper shift from the recent warm, dry spell covered in Hoodline's earlier Oxnard forecast. Tuesday looks partly to mostly cloudy near 67, but additional rain chances return Wednesday and Thursday.
High Surf Keeps Ventura Beaches Off-Limits
A High Surf Advisory is in effect for zones 340–346 until noon PST Monday, while a Beach Hazards Statement covers other zones through Monday morning. The National Weather Service says there is potential for 18-to-25-foot warning-level surf across northwest-facing shores and at least advisory-level surf at LA/Ventura west-facing beaches.
The National Weather Service warns of dangerous rip currents, waves washing people off rocks and beaches, and possible erosion or shallow flooding along low-lying coastal walkways. Stay out of the water, avoid rock jetties and remain near an occupied lifeguard tower if you must be near the shoreline.
