The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch it up for the Imperial crew.
It’s looking small and lazy here at Point Loma for most of the run, but there’s a window that’ll get you smiling. Water temp is sitting at 74°F, which is about 6°F warmer than usual for early August – that’s real weird, feels like a tropical pool. Most days you’ll be on a log or a funboard, but don’t sleep on the middle of the month.
Friday the 7th kicks off with a 2ft SSW groundswell, long 19 second period. Combined energy is moderate (388). Winds are light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean but tiny. Not much to write home about.
Saturday the 8th: 2ft SW swell, 17 second period, offshore wind at 9-12 mph. Clean, rideable, but still barely a wave.
Sunday the 9th: bumping to 3ft SSW-SW, 15 second period. Light cross-offshore winds, clean. You can get a few, but it’s ordinary.
Monday the 10th through Wednesday the 12th is mostly small and messy. Swell drops to 1-2ft, winds go cross or cross-on, and it’s choppy. Skip it.
Thursday the 13th afternoon cleans up – 2ft SW, cross-off, 16 seconds. Better, but not a standout.
Here’s your real window: Friday the 14th. Morning has 2ft SW, 18 seconds, combined energy hits 533, light cross-off wind. Afternoon bumps to 2ft at 18 seconds, offshore at 12 mph from the WNW, energy jumping to 600. That’s the best combo of quality and power in the whole 16 days. Clean, lined up, and punchy for the size.
Saturday the 15th holds strong: 3ft to 4ft SW swell, 16 seconds, offshore winds from the NW at 9-12 mph. Energy stays high (570-587). Expect other surfers – this spot can get a crowd, and on a day like this it’ll be busy.
Sunday the 16th morning still has 3ft SW, 15 seconds, clean cross-off, but energy drops to 440. Afternoon fades.
From Monday the 17th onward it’s back to small, clean but ordinary 2-3ft waves with 14-16 second periods. A few mornings have cross winds that make it ugly, but afternoons clean up. Nothing special.
So if you want the best of it, set your sights on Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th of August. That’s your surf.

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.
