Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cooking for Point Loma over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a pretty steady run of small to modest SW swell lined up, but the winds are going to be the real story. Early on, there’s a bit of a wait for the good stuff, with Saturday afternoon being just ordinary. The water is sitting at a balmy 68°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The real standout window kicks off Monday afternoon, July 6th. The swell bumps up just a hair, but the period stretches to 20 seconds – that's proper long-period groundswell energy. Combined wave energy hits a moderate 593, and with clean offshore winds from the WNW at 12 mph, Point Loma will be offering up some clean, lined-up waves in the 2 ft range from the SW. It's an advanced break that's fairly consistent, so expect a few others in the water but nothing crazy. This is the best of the first week, no doubt.

Tuesday the 7th keeps the good vibes going with similar 4 ft SW swell in the morning dropping to 3 ft in the afternoon, periods around 18 seconds. Winds stay clean and offshore or light cross-off. The energy climbs to 782, another solid day. Wednesday the 8th looks similar again with 3 ft SW swell and light winds from the WSW at 6 mph, making for very clean conditions all day.

We hit a bit of a rough patch from Thursday the 9th through Monday the 13th. Winds turn onshore or cross-shore, and the wave quality drops right off. It's not flat, but it's choppy and messy. You'll see some waves around 3-3 ft, but it won't be fun. Hang onto your board.

After that dry spell, things start to clean up again by Sunday the 12th with a return to light offshore NW winds and 3 ft SSW swell. The energy is moderate (395-410). This trend of small, clean waves holds through to Tuesday the 15th, but the swell really starts to fade, dropping to 1-2 ft. It's clean but tiny.

Now, looking way out to the second week, there's a promising uptick around Saturday the 18th. Winds go offshore again from the WNW at 9 mph, and a 2 ft SW swell with a 17-18 second period rolls in. Combined energy jumps to 503. This is a solid, clean long-period groundswell setup for Point Loma. It's a quality window, but being that far out, treat it as a promising prospect rather than a lock. The following Sunday the 19th keeps that trend with a bit more size (3 ft) from the SSW.

So, to sum it up: Monday afternoon the 6th through Wednesday the 8th is your prime time for the first week. Then watch for that clean window around Saturday the 18th into Sunday the 19th. It's not going to be huge, but when the wind plays ball here, it's worth the paddle.
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.

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.
