South San Diego Forecast

Matt Kibby •

Today

Trending down for most of the region but the summer standouts keep the lights on. Cleanest early.

Dawn to 10am: Primary SSW swell and some smaller NW windswell to start the weekend. Size for average breaks dips below waist high, while best summer breaks occasionally see chest high. Shape isn't as broken up for the beachbreaks and the spots with structure (reefs/piers/jetties) get the best shape. Light S wind expected through the earlier morning, some texture by mid-AM.

Afternoon Outlook: Light to moderate SW wind in the afternoon lightens evening.

Scripps Surf Guide

Scripps Pier, home of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, can occasionally have more defined sandbars, especially on the south side, than ones found just south at La Jolla Shores. Sandbars tend to get more defined after big swells and/or periods of rain.
