South San Diego Forecast
Matt Kibby •Today
Strong SSW swell builds all day. Maxes out most beachbreaks, structured areas best. Clean AM.
Dawn-10am: SSW swell builds further and will peak through the afternoon/evening and into Wednesday. Widespread head high surf can be expected, even on the more southerly angled swell. Good spots are a couple to a few feet overhead. Powerful with lots of current at open beachbreaks. Mostly clean AM with vairable to lightly onshore WNW wind.
Afternoon Outlook: Swell eventually peaks, standouts see some even larger sets. Onshores stay pretty mellow into the PM - some crumble but not bad.
