South San Diego Forecast

Today

Decent size mix of swells but the S wind will likely stick around for AM crumble/bump.

Dawn-10am: NW windswell/SSW swell mix eases. Peaky/broken up again and fun size: waist high for many spots, with best combo spots still up to chest-shoulder high if not a bit better.

A little bit of S wind crumble to deal with this AM, but most spots are pretty clean. It's peaky enough at the beachbreaks that even with some crumble/bump it'll be kinda fun, esp w/tide push.

PM Outlook: Surf size hangs close to the AM off the mix of swells. S wind continues, easing for the evening.

Not all south swells are created equal. From Bombing Teahupo'o to Massive Wedge, watch the science behind the South Pacific's most remarkable run in decades: https://bit.ly/4xS68hZ

Mission Beach Surf Guide

This stretch of sometimes-peaky beachbreak fronted by mismatched condos is the bellwether of surfing in central San Diego. There is always a little something breaking here.

There are the occasional magic sessions. It's best on a medium tide with three-to-six-foot swell. The beach is plagued by closeouts on larger days and/or low tide.... Read more
