North San Diego Forecast
Matt Kibby •Today
Knee-waist high surf, chest-high for better breaks. Shape best mid-AM as tide comes in.
Dawn-10am: Little mix of SW/SSW swells for knee-waist high waves, pushing chest high for far north county standouts, a little bigger for standouts once the negative low tide fills in around 7-8am. Some onshore S wind crumble to deal with, but not bad.
A little bit of NW energy in the mix, should be enough for a couple corners at the open beachbreaks given the smaller Southern Hemi swell on tap.
PM Outlook: Moderate onshore lump, a little more size.
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/4xS68hZOceanside Pier Surf Forecast

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
