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.

Afternoon Outlook: Swell eventually peaks late through Wed, standouts see some even larger sets pushing 2x OH. Onshores stay pretty mellow into the PM - some crumble but not bad. Partial evening clean up possible.

Scripps Surf Guide

Scripps Pier, home of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, can occasionally have more defined sandbars, especially on the south side, than ones found just south at La Jolla Shores. Sandbars tend to get more defined after big swells and/or periods of rain.
