The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk North Torrey Pines. Over the next couple weeks, it's a quiet picture. This is a beginner-friendly wave that’s *fairly consistent*, but don't expect much.
Right off the bat on Thursday, July 30th, we get the best of it. Morning swell is 4ft from the S at 13 seconds – moderate energy (801). Water’s real warm, about 76°, which is 8° warmer than normal for this time – that's a big deal. Wind’s light out of the WNW, blowing straight offshore, so it’s glassy. This is the standout session. Crowds are possible.
That afternoon, swell drops to 3ft from the SSW with a longer 16-second groundswell. Wind stays offshore light, so it remains clean, but it's still only marginal surf.
Friday July 31st, morning offers 4ft from the SSW at 14 seconds, moderate energy (614), with offshore wind. That's your other worthwhile window. Afternoon fades to 3ft and gets called poor.
Then from Saturday August 1st through the next 12 days, it’s a wasteland. Swells shrink to 1ft – 3ft, periods bounce around, but the wind mostly goes cross-onshore, creating chop. The energy bottoms out around 144 on the 6th. There's a long-period 19-second pulse on Friday August 7th, but it’s only 3ft and the wind is cross-onshore – no good.
The word is: grab Thursday morning or Friday morning of this first week if you want something clean and small. The rest is a long flat spell, but conditions can turn, so don't toss your board in the garage just yet.
