North San Diego Forecast

Matt Kibby •

Today

Fun zone surf continues as some new swell joins in. Manageable AM onshore texture.

Dawn-10am: SW Southern Hemi holds, old SSW tropical swell fades, a little nudge in NW windswell joins in, and some SSE Fausto swell starts to sneak in. That'll help shape at the beachbreaks but the summer spots with structure are best. Widespread waves are waist-chest high, while best exposures/combo breaks go larger. Fresh SSE/S tropical swell mainly passing by initially. Light NW wind crumble out of the gates.

PM Outlook: Breezier NW wind due through the back half of the day.

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
