Today

Lully, potent round of long period SW swell continues. Shape getting better for structured breaks.

Dawn to 10am: Long period SW swell spreads size around the region better than most. Overall consistency on the biggest sets is lower (7000+ mile travel and Polynesia shadowing). Better breaks are chest-head high and standout focal points push overhead+ at times. Shape favors structure on bigger SPAC sets but those are spaced out so the beachbreaks are in play with lingering tropical and NW windswell mixing in. Clean early.

Afternoon Outlook: Light SW wind, many breaks in play all day.

Horseshoe Surf Guide

When it’s pumping, Horseshoe is not for the faint of heart. When there’s a solid groundswell running, primarily during the winter months, the break is hollow and heavy with spitting barrels over a shallow rock reef. Get stuck in the lip on the drop and you’re going to wish you’d paddled out at La Jolla Shores up the road. Depending on the tide, the lefthander can break in only a couple of feet of water, leaving little room for error. Read more
