Today

Size picking up, waist-chest high waves push head-high to overhead for standouts. Cleanest early.

Dawn-10am: Waist-chest high waves get pretty easy to track down as new SSW swell tops out. Better breaks pushing head-high as summer standouts go a bit overhead at times. Not much NW energy in the mix, so structured breaks are your best shot at a corner.

Early window looks pretty clean, slight onshore crumble building mid/late AM.

Afternoon Outlook: Similar size for the back half of the day, moderate onshore lump.

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
