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/4xS68hZSan Elijo State Beach Surf Forecast
