North San Diego Forecast

Today

Warm, fun waves. Some onshore wind crumble/bump this PM but very manageable. Reefs slow this evenin

Afternoon Outlook: Mixed SW-SSW swell from a variety of sources and surf is playful for most and pretty good size for the best exposed breaks in far north county. There is some W wind bump on it - strongest for the far north county beachbreaks, with the Cardiff/Enicinitas reefs more protected and not bad at all.

High tide is pretty deep this evening and that will impact the reefs - get it in the earlier/mid afternoon if you can, or on the sunset session.

These spots will most often have a crew of surfers on them, but, on better days, the peaks up and down the beach will be just as good. Oceanside is angled to receive southwest swells more readily than the beaches of central San Diego County, and, during southwest swells, it attracts surfers from all parts of SD. Read more
