Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Blacks Beach.
Blacks Beach is the only spot we’re looking at, and the news isn’t great for surfers. The water temp is sitting at about 69°F at the start, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – not a bad thing.
The first chance at anything rideable isn’t until Monday, July 6th, but it’s just barely worth a mention. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the SSW with moderate energy (540), but the wind is onshore, so it won’t be clean. Tuesday July 7th shows a slightly better 3ft SSW swell (877 energy), but again, the wind is onshore and the forecast is marginal.
The best of a poor bunch looks like Wednesday July 8th. Still small, with a 4ft SSW swell (840 energy), but the wind is lighter and goes cross-on, making it a bit more manageable. The waves are short period (16 seconds), so no real punch. It’s the only session that scores a little higher internally, but don’t expect much.
From Thursday July 9th through Friday July 17th, the swell completely drops out, with energy falling into the low to mid hundreds. It’s poor or marginal at best. The second week is rough, with swells barely reaching 1ft to 2ft and very weak energy. You’re not surfing.
There’s a small bump on Saturday July 18th with a 3ft SSW swell and 609 energy, and light cross-on winds. But that’s a long way out and the pattern’s been so bad I wouldn’t get excited.
For paddle surfers, this is a one to two-week lull. For kite surfers, the onshore winds and small chop might offer some play. Hang tough.
Rusty.

Information about the Blacks Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Blacks Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Blacks Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Blacks Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Blacks Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Blacks Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Blacks Beach is 13 km (8 miles) from the city of San Diego. If you plan a vacation in San Diego County, look for hotels and other accommodation in San Diego. San Diego has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
