Table - best surf conditions forecast for Point Loma over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Point Loma.
The water temp is about average for the season, nothing out of the ordinary.
Right now, the surf is looking pretty slim. For the next week and a half, we’ve got mostly small, weak swells. Most days the waves are around 2 to 3 feet, coming from the southwest. But the wind is the problem – a lot of cross-on breezes making the surface choppy. There’s a short clean-up on Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th afternoon with light, cross-off winds, but the swell is still only 3 feet and the energy is moderate.
Then from the 15th to the 17th, it gets even smaller, down to about 2 to 2 feet, and the wind stays onshore or cross-shore. It’s a real quiet spell.
The one day that stands out is Sunday, July 19th. We’ve got a 3 to 3 foot SW groundswell running, with a very long period of 17 seconds. The combined energy jumps up to 656 (strong). The wind will be light and cross-off, making for clean conditions. That long period means the waves will have some punch and shape nicely here at the point and reef. If you’re an advanced surfer, this is the best bet of the whole run.
The following Monday and Tuesday the 20th and 21st still offer some clean 3 to 3 foot surf, but the energy drops off. After that, it fades back to small, weak 2 to 3 foot slop for the rest of the period.
So, a long stretch of mediocre surf, but one clear standout on Sunday the 19th. Don’t miss it.

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.
