The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Point Loma (San Diego).
We’re kicking off with a bit of a slow start. The first few days are pretty ordinary – small, clean but nothing to get excited about. The standout window starts to build from Thursday afternoon, 3rd September, and really hits its straps over the weekend and into Monday.
The real highlight is Monday, 7th September. We’ve got a solid 8 ft SSW groundswell rolling in on the morning with a 14-second period. That’s combined energy reading 2643 (strong) – a proper push of water. The wind is offshore from the WNW at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean and lined up. This is expert territory – that size at a sheltered reef and beach set-up like Point Loma will be powerful and challenging. The water is running about 74°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a real treat. Crowds are possible here, so get it early.
Sunday, 6th September is the runner-up: 7 ft SSW swell, same 14-second period, offshore winds. Afternoon looks especially good with 1601 (moderate-strong) energy. Still a big swell, but a touch more manageable for strong intermediates.
After that peak, the swell drops quickly. Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th still have decent waist-to-chest high waves with offshore winds, but the energy backs off. By the end of the first week, it fades to small stuff. There’s a gap of several days from around Thursday 10th through to the end of the period where the surf is small and mostly ordinary – nothing worth planning around.
The second week offers only small, clean knee-to-waist high waves. The best of it is Tuesday 15th September morning – glassy conditions with a 3 ft WSW swell, but the energy is weak (349). It’s a pretty quiet run. Given how inconsistent this stretch gets, a blank period is not unusual for this area.
So in short, lock in Saturday 5th through Monday 7th September. Monday is the big one for experienced surfers. After that, the board stays in the car.
Rusty.

Information about the Point Loma Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Point Loma provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Point Loma can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Point Loma 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 (Point Loma) 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 Point Loma 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.
Point Loma is 5 km (3 miles) from the city of Coronado. If you plan a vacation in San Diego County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Coronado. Coronado has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
