North San Diego Forecast
Matt Kibby •Today
Playful southerly swell mix continues with clean AM conditions. Summer exposures have best size.
Dawn to 10am: S wind lump stays manageable through much of the morning. SSW-SW swell from Elida will slowly ease, while some new Southern Hemi swell is filling in to help keep up surf heights.

Afternoon Outlook: Light to low-end moderate W wind builds for the afternoon and evening.
