South San Diego Forecast
Matt Kibby •Today
Still punchy surf as swell eases, most size in the AM. Best winds then too.
Dawn-10am: Slow fading but still healthy SSW swell, along with a little NW swell, keeps waves running head high+ at southerly exposures in the morning, while better breaks are overhead.
Slight SW wind on tap this morning for a mostly clean start, look for some crumble to develop into mid-morning.
Afternoon Outlook: Mellow WSW onshores for the afternoon. Surf will gradually dip during the back half of the day as the SSW swell tapers off. Still pumping.
