Today

Mainly clean morning, fun to mid size SSW swell from Elida continues.

Dawn to 10:00AM: Elida will stay on a favorable track and maintain decent strength through the weekend, which bodes well for Monday surf.

Swell direction trends more SSW, which will open up more spots to see at least fun surf (waist-shoulder high). The top spots in the far north county see sets going slightly overhead. Light southerly winds for the AM.

Afternoon Outlook: Surf size holds. Low-end moderate W winds mid afternoon, then easing into the evening.

These spots will most often have a crew of surfers on them, but, on better days, the peaks up and down the beach will be just as good. Oceanside is angled to receive southwest swells more readily than the beaches of central San Diego County, and, during southwest swells, it attracts surfers from all parts of SD. Read more
