Table - best surf conditions forecast for North Torrey Pines over the next 16 days.
Right, let’s get into it for North Torrey Pines.
I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a lean couple of weeks ahead. We’re looking at a week or so of nothing much, with small, choppy surf and onshore winds ruling the roost. The first real chance to get wet comes on Monday morning, 13th July.
Before that, it’s a rough run. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, the wave heights are small, and the energy is low. Not worth the wetsuit.
That Monday morning, the 13th, is the bright spot. We’re talking about 3ft of swell from the SSW with a period of 13 seconds, giving us moderate energy. The best part? The wind is dead glassy. That’s the kind of clean condition that makes a small day worth it. The water temp is around 70°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a real bonus.
After that, things drop off again. The middle of the second week sees a little bump in energy, but the wind stays messy. On Sunday, 19th July, we see a spike to about 5ft from the south, but it’s accompanied by a cross-onshore breeze, so the quality is compromised. That size is for the experienced crew only.
If you’ve got your eye on one session, make it Monday the 13th. The rest is just waiting for a better forecast.
