The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here with the Imperial version. Let's break down Torrey Pines State Beach for the next 16 days.
We've got a decent pulse of long-period groundswell from the SSW, but the wind's been a bit of a buzzkill. Starting Monday July 27, waves are running about 4ft with periods of 18-19 seconds and combined energy in the strong range (1129–1221). That's plenty of power, but the wind is light to gentle cross-onshore from the SW to WSW, putting a little chop on the face. It's not terrible, but it's not glassy. The break is beginner-friendly, and 4ft is doable for most, but the cross-on breeze means you'll have to hunt for the clean ones. Crowds are "sometimes" – expect some company.
Tuesday July 28 looks similar – same 4ft, period dropping to 17 seconds, energy still strong. Wind stays cross-on, and afternoon clouds roll in. Still marginal. Wednesday July 29 drops to 4ft, 16-second period, energy moderate (668–886). Still cross-on. So the first three days are your best window, but it's not a standout.
Then it goes flat. From Thursday July 30 through Sunday August 2, swell drops to 2ft to 2ft, short periods, weak energy. Conditions poor. There's a brief spike on Friday July 31 afternoon with 5ft from the SSW, 13-second period, energy 982, but it's onshore from the WNW and marginal. Not worth it.
From August 3 right through August 11, we're looking at tiny waves – 1ft to 2ft, poor wind, zero scores. The occasional longer period (like August 6 afternoon with 21 seconds and 293 energy) is still too small and messy. So from the end of July through the first week of August, it's a desert.
If you're a beginner and just want to get wet, maybe Monday or Tuesday morning July 27-28 could give you a few soft, lumpy waves. But the real standout? There isn't one. The best on offer is the first two days, but with cross-on wind and marginal quality, it's more of a "maybe" than a "must-go." Keep an eye on the forecasts – things could change, but right now it's looking like a long flat spell.
Rusty out.
