Surf Break: Tamarack Avenue

Name: Tamarack Avenue
Type: reef
Reliability: fairly consistent
Best Swell: SW Offshore Wind: NE

Tamarack Avenue in San Diego County is an exposed reef break that has quite reliable surf. Summer offers the best conditions for surfing. Ideal winds are from the northeast. Groundswells are more common than windswells and the best swell direction is from the southwest. Waves at the beach break both left and right as well as left and right hand reef breaks.. Surfable at all stages of the tide. It's often crowded here. Beware of Man-made danger (buoys etc...) and pollution.
