North San Diego Forecast
Matt Kibby •Today
Fun to mid-sized mix of old SSW and new SW swell. Mid-AM window looking best.
Dawn to 10am: Another strong round of long period SW(220-200) swell. The westerly direction is a good direction for San Diego, spreading size around much more evenly than the last swells. Lots of chest-head high zone waves, while standouts go well overhead. Drained early morning tide to wait out, manageable onshore crumble for mid-AM window as shape improves.
Afternoon Outlook: Holding size, afternoon W sea breeze looks manageable.
