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 WNW-NW swell will be fading on Monday, not totally dropping off, but losing some of the bigger sets for sure. I can’t wait for the high tide to move back a couple more hours…but even with it still stepping on the morning surf there should be plenty of waves sticking around once it drops. Average WNW facing breaks will be in the chest-shoulder high range with some occasional sets nearing head high on the low tides. The standout South County NW spots will see more consistent chest-head high surf with some less consistent overhead sets still mixing in. Expect North County spots to be less consistent and smaller than the other areas.
Winds will be light ESE through the morning, and then light W around 10 knots for the afternoon…the bump doesn’t look too bad through the afternoon so we might see some cleanup through sundown if the wind behaves.
Here are the tides…have a great weekend!

San Diego Surf Forecast – Thursday – WNW-NW swell peaks
The Swell
WNW-NW swell (280-300 but with most of the energy around 290-300) will peak on Thursday as it mixes with some background SW swell (200-220).
Waves
With the steeper swell angle on the incoming surf it looks like North County could miss out on a lot of the new energy…oh it will have some bigger surf compared to the last couple of days…but the South County breaks are really going to be the ones that see most of the bigger energy. Average spots, mostly north county breaks, will be in the waist-shoulder high range…maybe a few head high sets on the lower tides. The top NW facing breaks in Central and South SD will be in the shoulder-head high+ range pretty consistently with some overhead+ sets mixing in on the lower tide.
Winds
Look for light and variable to light offshore winds for the morning, some patchy fog in spots as well. Variable…mostly onshore…flow builds in through the afternoon but stays around 5-10 knots.

San Diego Surf Forecast – Wednesday – Building WNW-NW swell
The Swell
A new mix of WNW-NW swell (280-300 degrees but with the main push of energy around 290-300) will fill in throughout the day. Small SW swell (200-220) will also increase slightly in the background. Look for most spots to start small (and tide swamped) but expect more size to arrive as the swell fills in more in the afternoon...bigger waves will arrive after dark and hold into Thursday.
Waves
Not a ton of new waves showing for the morning…and what little increase in energy we do see will have to break through that 6’ high tide. Most spots will continue to hold around the knee-high+ range for the morning, while the standout Mid-South County breaks see some waist-chest high sets.
As the tide drops and the new swell fills in…look for the average breaks to push into the waist-chest high+ range. Standout spots will be more in the chest-shoulder high range with a few bigger waves starting to show before dark.
Winds
Light offshore to light and variable winds on tap through the morning and W-WNW winds around 10-12 knots for the afternoon. Conditions look nice and clean through the first half of the day.
