Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer at Point Loma. We're looking at a solid run of small, clean conditions, but you'll have to pick your moments.

First, the water's about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on. The overall pattern is a long, drawn-out period of small swells, but with plenty of offshore and cross-offshore winds to keep things tidy. Don't expect any barrels; the size is consistently tiny.

We kick off Tuesday the 7th with a very long-period groundswell from the southwest, pushing 4ft on the morning, but the energy is weak (785). It’s clean with a cross-off breeze but the report says it's marginal due to tides. Not worth paddling out for. Wednesday the 8th is your first real glimmer. Still small at 3ft (882 energy) from the SW, but with a light cross-off wind, those 16-second intervals will offer a bit of shape. It’s clean, but small. That’s the best of the first week, and it's only a 2 out of 10.

Thursday the 9th through to Tuesday the 15th is a write-off for any decent surf. The swell drops, the winds go onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy drops into the 200s and 300s. You’ll be staring at a flat lake. There’s a big gap of nothingness here.

Now, things start to look promising again as we head into the second week. Sunday the 19th is a standout. We’ve got clean conditions with a light offshore breeze in the morning and light cross-off in the afternoon. Swell is 3ft to 3ft from the SW with a solid 17-second period. The energy jumps up to 846, which is moderate and the best we’ve seen. It’ll be clean, lined up, and with that long period at a reefy spot like Point Loma, it should wrap in nicely. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so expect company.

Then Monday the 20th morning is another good one. Clean again with a gentle offshore wind, 4ft from the south at 13 seconds (738 energy). It’s a little smaller in period but a little bigger in size, offering a different, punchier wave. That morning window will be the pick. The rest of the week fades back into ordinary small surf.

So, the two true standouts are Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th. They're a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it, but that’s where you want to be.

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.
