Today

Rippable southerly swell mix is cleanest through the morning window. Find wind blockage in the PM.

Dawn to 10am: SSW-SW swell from Elida will slowly ease, while some new Southern Hemi swell is filling in to help keep up surf heights. Pretty good size at many breaks (waist-chest-head high). Top spots see some overhead+ sets. Shape is best for spots with structure but there's corners around the beachbreaks. Clean start w/ light offshores, light S wind bump due mid-AM.

Afternoon Outlook: Light to moderate WSW wind builds for the afternoon and evening.

San Onofre State Beach Surf Guide

San Onofre State Beach is the Waikiki of the California Coastline -- a beginner's paradise of gentle breaking waves, long sandy beaches and an absence of ego.

Today, it is one of the last few beaches that epitomizes the California surfing lifestyle. On any given summer weekend, you can find a whole tribe of surfers playing volleyball, talking story and swilling beer under grassy huts or sitting hunched over their longboards, waiting for the next lazy peak to float their way.
