South San Diego Forecast
Kevin Wallis •Today
Strong SSW swell builds all day. Maxes out most beachbreaks, structured areas best. Clean AM.
Dawn-10am: SSW swell builds gradually through the morning. 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 light/variable wind.
