Today

Good size surf, clean AM & PM onshores pretty mellow. Some spots see evening clean up.

SSW swell tops out for widespread waist-shoulder high surf. Better breaks head-high to a bit overhead as standout reefs/beaches in the central part of the region go a couple feet overhead on sets. Not a lot - but some - NW energy in the mix, so the open beachbreaks are pretty walled with the odd corner.

Light wind early this AM and mostly clean. Light to moderate SW wind later this AM and PM, but the bump shouldn't be a deal breaker. Easing wind for the evening.

Horseshoe Surf Guide

When it’s pumping, Horseshoe is not for the faint of heart. When there’s a solid groundswell running, primarily during the winter months, the break is hollow and heavy with spitting barrels over a shallow rock reef. Get stuck in the lip on the drop and you’re going to wish you’d paddled out at La Jolla Shores up the road. Depending on the tide, the lefthander can break in only a couple of feet of water, leaving little room for error. Read more
