The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Point Loma.
We’ve got a pretty drawn-out run of small, clean waves coming up, but honestly, nothing here is gonna blow your mind. The swell is tiny throughout the whole 16-day window. The best of what’s on offer is a couple of mornings where the wind goes glassy or offshore, and the long-period groundswell cleans up the lines. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real standout is Friday morning, 7 August. The swell is just 2 ft from the SSW, but the period is a very long 19 seconds, and we’ve got a gentle cross-off breeze from the WNW. The combined energy is moderate (388). It’s a groundswell, so it’ll wrap into the point and reef setup nicely, with clean faces. It’s only for advanced surfers because of the reef, but the conditions will be sweet. Expect crowds sometimes.
The next good window is Saturday morning, 8 August. Similar story: 2 ft of SW swell, 17-second period, offshore wind from the NW at 15 km/h. The combined energy is moderate (305). It’ll be clean and fun on the longboards, but again, nothing big.
Moving into the second week, the standout is Saturday morning, 15 August. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, combined energy moderate (575). The wind is light cross-shore from the SW, so it’s not perfect, but the energy is building. Then Sunday morning, 16 August, sees 3 ft from the SW, period 15 seconds, with a light cross-off breeze from the W and combined energy moderate (455). That’s another clean session, but still small.
There’s a gap of poor conditions from Monday 10 August through Wednesday 12 August, with onshore and cross-shore winds, so plan around that. Also, the end of the period from Thursday 20 August onward looks messy with rain showers and cross-onshore winds, so don’t pin your hopes on that.
The pick of the whole run? I’d say Friday morning, 7 August. That 2 ft from the SSW with 19-second period and glassy offshore wind is the cleanest, most enjoyable wave in the whole forecast. The set gaps will be long, but the wait is worth it for the groomed lines.
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.
