San Diego Surf Forecast – Small and textured…my favorite

The Swell
San Diego will see a mix of backing down NW swell (290-300 but most of the energy closer to 295-300), some minor SW energy (200-220), and some leftover local windswell.



Waves
Most spots will be in the knee high range…and inconsistent…and mostly shorebreak as the high tide fills in…did I mention the onshore texture yet? Nevermind I think you get the picture. The better NW facing breaks and excellent combo spots are going to be in the knee-waist high range on sets…maybe even rideable if you break out the longboard on the lower tides. Unfortunately even the best spots are going to get hammered by the 6.3’ high tide that peaks around 9:30am.

Winds
Look for variable onshore flow during the morning but with winds remaining mostly light in the 4-6 knot range. Look for more texture around the pockets of fog that will be roaming around the county in the morning. W-SW winds around 10-12 knots move in by the afternoon.

San Diego County Tides
03:12AM LST 2.2 L
09:32AM LST 6.3 H
05:07PM LST -0.6 L
11:41PM LST 3.4 H
