Right, let’s talk in feet and Fahrenheit.
First few days are looking good for Point Loma. It’s a sheltered reef and beach spot that cleans up nicely.
Monday the 6th kicks it off with a long-period SW groundswell, 16-20 seconds. Small waves, around 2 to 3 feet, but with a WNW offshore breeze it’s glassy. Water temp is about 69°, a touch warmer than usual. The combined swell energy is moderate. This is a day for the advanced crew who like working a long period swell at a spot that handles it well.
Tuesday the 7th is the real standout. Morning sees 3 to 4 feet of SW swell, 18-second period, with a clean cross-offshore W breeze. Good energy. Afternoon drops a little to about 3 feet but the wind stays gentle offshore. Pick of the week.
Wednesday the 8th morning holds at 3 feet, still clean.
Thursday the 9th through Sunday the 12th goes downhill. Wind turns onshore from the S and SSW, swell stays around 3 feet but the period drops to 14-15 seconds. Gets choppy and messy.
Monday the 13th through Thursday the 16th is flat. Swell under 3 feet, mostly 1 to 2 feet. Clean wind, but no wave energy.
Friday the 17th is poor.
Saturday the 18th looks promising again. New 2 to 3 foot SW swell, 18-second period, with a gentle offshore WNW wind. Energy jumps back up. It’s over a week away, but worth watching.
Sunday the 19th is marginal, then Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st bring back clean 3 foot SW swell with light offshores.
Best day is Tuesday the 7th at Point Loma with that 3 to 4 foot groundswell and clean wind. Saturday the 18th and Tuesday the 21st are ones to keep an eye on.

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.
