North San Diego Forecast
Matt Kibby •Today
Manageable onshore crumble for most zones this AM. Decent size from mix of swells.
Dawn-10am: SW Southern Hemi holds, old SSW tropical swell fades, a little nudge in NW windswell joins in, and some SSE Fausto swell starts to sneak in. That'll help shape at the beachbreaks but the summer spots with structure are best. Widespread waves are waist-chest high, while best exposures/combo breaks go head-high+. Fresh SSE/S tropical swell mainly passing by initially. Light NW wind crumble out of the gates.
PM Outlook: Breezier NW wind due through the back half of the day.
