North San Diego Forecast
Kevin Wallis •Today
Strong SSW swell builds all day. Maxes out most beachbreaks, reefs generally best. Clean AM.
Dawn-10am: Widespread head high surf can be expected, even on the more southerly angled swell. Good spots are a couple to a few feet overhead and standouts in the far north county are up to 2x overhead. Powerful with lots of current at open beachbreaks. Generally clean in the AM with wind light/variable.
Afternoon Outlook: Swell eventually peaks, standouts far north county push 2x overhead+. Onshores mainly mellow into the PM - some crumble but not bad. Partial evening clean up possible.
