San Diego Surf Forecast: More swell hits on Monday.

More S-SW swell moves in on Monday and keeps our run of fun waves rolling along.
We are going to see two new swells, a S swell (170-190) and a SW swell (200-220), that fill in throughout the day on Monday. We might start off a little slow in the early morning but we can expect bigger and more consistent sizes to move in as we move towards the afternoon.

Sizewise we can expect most SW facing spots to hold consistently in the shoulder high range with some inconsistent head high sets. Standout SW facing breaks will have some inconsistent overhead sets. The top combo spots that can pull in both the S swell and the SW’er, which will mostly be through the North Part of the County, will have more consistent shoulder-overhead surf with some rare bigger sets mixing in. Expect lots of current, and semi-walled to walled shape at many of the beach breaks. Points and reefs will continue to have the best shape and the longest rides.

Winds look good, mostly light and variable through the morning and possibly even a little light offshore for some of the best areas. Those winds shift onshore out of the WNW around 10-15 knots by the afternoon.

San Deigo Surf Forecast: Thursday – Cleaner than Wednesday

Thursday will have some more fun surf with some slightly better conditions. We will start off with some, playful but leftover SW swell for the morning, fortunately more swell fills starts filling in later in the day.

Swellwise we are going to see a mix of S-SW swell (190-220) with some of the energy fading out and new energy filling in. There will be a touch of NW windswell in the background but not much to make a difference.



Most SW facing spots will be in the waist-chest high range. Standout SW facing spots throughout the county will be in the chest to inconsistent shoulder high range through the morning but will see some more-consistent bigger sets by the afternoon. Look for the biggest and most consistent surf to show through North County.

Conditions look cleaner as the slight eddy circulation backs down and we see light and variable winds through the morning. More WNW winds around 10-15 knots move in through the afternoon. Check out the NWS model for tomorrow morning at 8am.



The surf will be fun on Thursday...not great or anything...but playful at the right spots. Like a lot of the Southern Hemi energy we have see over the last week it looks like the points and reefs will have the best shape...while the beach breaks stay a bit walled and sectiony. Good sandbars/piers/jetties that can break up the swell will be worth looking at if you can’t get to a point and reef.
