Move your mouse over the ocean swell symbols or the surf breaks on the coastline to see a more detailed surf forecast including wave period and wind conditions. The forecast updates every 6 hours and most live weather reports update every hour. You can animate the San Diego County Surf map or show live wind and wave conditions as reported from wavebuoys and local weather stations.
