Alright, this is Rusty, and we’re checking out Point Loma.
We’re getting started slow here. The surf is small but it’s clean with a light offshore wind. It’s a long period groundswell out of the southwest with an 18-second period, which is really long. That favors a spot like this. The water is 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Sunday morning is tiny. We’ve got 2 ft swells from the SW, with a light offshore wind from the WNW, so it’s clean. The energy is weak (365). You can surf, but it’s pretty ordinary.
Monday gets a little better. 3 ft, still clean with a moderate offshore wind. The energy is moderate (488). A better day than Sunday.
Tuesday morning is the standout early on. We’re looking at 4 ft of swell from the SW at 18 seconds, with a gentle cross-off wind from the W. The energy is moderate to strong (782). This is the best quality you’ll get in the first week. Just be ready for those long lulls between sets.
Wednesday morning is another good one. 3 ft, 16 seconds, clean with a light cross-off breeze, energy is solid (879). Still good for the experienced surfer.
Thursday and Friday go downhill. The wind turns onshore, bringing chop, and the wave quality drops.
Saturday cleans back up with a cross-off wind, but the swell is back to 3 ft.
Sunday, July 12th afternoon is a good call. The wind goes offshore from the NW at 13 mph, with 3 ft of SSW swell. The energy is moderate (401). A clean, fun session.
Monday, July 13th is a step down. Swell drops to 3 ft, energy is low (274). Small but clean.
Tuesday, July 14th is a bad day. Cross-shore wind, poor conditions.
Wednesday and Thursday go back to clean but tiny. Think 2 ft – 2 ft.
Now, for the second week, Saturday, July 18th looks promising. 2 ft but with an 18-second period, clean with a light offshore wind. Energy is moderate (538). A long-range one to watch.
Sunday, July 19th also looks good. 3 ft from the S, clean cross-off breeze, energy is moderate to strong (658).
Monday, July 20th is the big one for the second week. The biggest swell of the whole forecast at 5 ft from the SSW, 14-second period, and a clean cross-off wind. The combined energy is strong (811). This is the one to put a pin in. It’s far out, so stay on the forecast, but it has the potential to be the best day.
For Point Loma (San Diego), crowds are possible, so plan for that.
Take it easy.

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.
