Make sure to read the full region forecast it has more complete details on the incoming swell and regional conditions. Click here for the full forecast www.socalsurf.com.
The SW swell (195-215) slowly fades on Thursday while a new mix of NW swell (290-300) and NW windswell build in throughout the day. Unfortunately it looks like onshore winds will start up pretty early…so expect some bumpy shape for the morning and some chopped up conditions by the afternoon.
Most of North County and the average South County breaks will be in the waist-chest high range…with a few inconsistent shoulder high sets sneaking into the better combo breaks. The standout South County spots will be in the shoulder-head high range with some overhead waves. Expect the bigger South County sets to be inconsistent through the morning but becoming more and more frequent by the afternoon.
W winds are expected to pick up early…likely coming onshore around 5-8 knots for the morning but building steadily into the 15-20 knot range by the afternoon.
Here are the tides…

San Diego Surf Forecast – Monday – Clean with a side of morning swampthing
The Swell
We will have a mix of small WNW-NW windswell, some weak SW swell (190-210), and some new, but background, NW swell (295-300) from a little further out in the NPAC.
Waves
The tide continues to be an issue through the early morning but a few of the best high tide breaks may have some rideable peaks as we try to power through the 6’+ high tide. As the tide drops look for the average spots to see surf in the knee-waist high+ range while the standout NW facing combo breaks see some knee-chest high surf with a few chest high+ waves sneaking as we get closer to the low tide.
Winds
Light offshore to light and variable winds on tap through the morning and W-WNW winds around 10-12 knots for the afternoon. Looks clean through the first half of the day.
Light and variable to light offshore winds will be on tap Sunday morning. NW winds 10-15+ knots move in through the afternoon.

San Diego Surf Forecast – Weekend Waves – More windswell…but with a little cleanup on Sunday
The Swell
WNW-NW windswell will peak into early Saturday, fade slightly through midday and then increase again in the afternoon. Look for the windswell (and a small SW swell) to fade through the day on Sunday.
Waves
Saturday looks pretty ugh…high tide and building onshore winds will keep things from ever getting very surfable…though there may be a couple of random surf pockets if you have a spot that can handle the mix of tide/windswell. Most breaks will be in the waist-chest high range (if they can power through the tide), while the standout NW windswell spots see some chest-shoulder high+ sets.
Sunday looks cleaner but the tide will continue to be an issue…more swampy waist-chest high waves on tap for the morning…with a few chest-shoulder high+ sets sneaking into the top spots as the tide drops. Look for smaller, less consistent, surf by the afternoon.
Winds
Mostly light and variable onshore winds and a bunch of areas with minor texture for the morning. Look for some moderate W-WNW winds in the 10-15+ knot range for the afternoon.
