Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Torrey Pines State Beach. The ocean’s been a bit sleepy, but there’s a little pulse trying to get going, mainly from a long-period SSW groundswell.
The water is sitting at 71°F right now, which is much warmer than what we’d expect for this time of year—about 4°F above the norm, so it’s a real treat for the skin.
The first real chance to get wet starts Wednesday morning, the 8th of July. The swell is a clean 4 ft from the SSW, with a generous 16-second period. That’s a proper groundswell that will wrap in with some nice shape, but at a beach break it can be a bit straight. The combined energy is moderate at 827. The wind is a light cross-on from the WSW at 6 mph, so it’s not glassy, but it’s small and manageable. The afternoon stays onshore and small, so the morning is the go.
Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th see the swell drop to 3 ft and the wind picks up, turning the surface choppy. The scores are poor, so don’t get your hopes up. The weekend through the middle of next week is a flat spell—the swell fades to 2 ft to 3 ft, and all the wind is onshore. Expect a long stretch of nothing worth paddling for from Thursday afternoon the 9th all the way through to the 19th of July.
The standout window arrives later, on the 21st of July (Tuesday) and 22nd of July (Wednesday). The swell builds back to 4 ft from the SSW, with a consistent 16-second period. The combined energy jumps to moderate-strong levels (590–642). The wind looks better—light onshore or light cross-on at 6–9 mph, blowing over the marks. The water will still be warm, and the waves will have that longer-period power. This is the best on offer: the 21st and 22nd are the two days to circle. Keep in mind that at Torrey Pines, these longer period swells can be a bit tricky with the tide, but the energy is there.
The crowds at Torrey Pines are a factor—it’s a popular spot, so expect company, especially on those better days.
