Regional wave height (Hs) · feet · Pacific time. Regional significant wave height is not the height breaking at the beach.
No cached forecast for the current hour. The spot guide is available; use “Load / refresh conditions” to request the forecast.
READ THE INDIVIDUAL SWELLS
Swell by swell.
Offshore component height (Hs), not surf-face height. Directions are where waves come from. Component heights do not add together.
No cached swell partitions for this hour. A combined wave forecast does not establish separate swells.
Tide predictions: La Jolla, 6 km reference; retrieved Thu Oct 22, 7:30am. Station predictions can differ locally.
This page reads the shared cache first. Refresh requests only this spot’s existing regional samples.

Statewide research draft / San Diego County. Approximate directory-area search seed: 32.82, -117.28. NOT a verified takeoff.
Statewide recovery: source-area coordinates are not owner-confirmed takeoffs. Sources may round or obscure positions. Named sections may share a reference coordinate; their distinct takeoffs are not implied. No route, access permission or current ocean condition is established. Source note: Research batch: california-coast-expansion-20260927. Public reference checked 27 September 2026. Approximate directory-area search seed: 32.82, -117.28. NOT a verified takeoff.

The reference was retained from the interrupted 27 September research pass; not every individual page was rechecked on 28 September. The source location is approximate, not a surveyed takeoff.
Before paddling out: Access, water quality, local hazards and current restrictions need independent checks. Directory inclusion is not permission or a safety assessment.
Access not independently verified Approximate directory-area reference. May be displaced or obscured in its source; NOT a takeoff, route, access point or survey.

Swell, wind and water level
Reported swell reference: W (published preference; not an exclusive window). Wind reference from retained sources: ENE. Reported tide guidance: Not yet established for this takeoff. Compare each swell’s direction and period with the actual breaking line. These qualitative descriptions are not calibrated height multipliers or fixed tide cutoffs.
What to refine on your next check
Confirm the actual takeoff, local tide response and any missing peel/difficulty details.
Research and sources · 5 October 2026
A researched starting point for local refinement. Reported preferences can differ between guides; sand and rock labels inferred from break classifications are not seabed surveys. Forecast data and catalogue coordinates are separate from this editorial research.
