La Jolla Shores Dive Report
Hey, fellow divers, Audrey Holloway & Dustin Breuer, our seasoned and reliable sources with extensive experience in diving at La Jolla Shores and Heisler Park, are here to bring you the latest updates for our underwater adventures in South SD :
Friday Morning Report/Outlook for South SD: This morning, we're seeing a mix of more pronounced WNW wind swell alongside weaker southerly swells. Generally, wave heights range from knee to waist high, but some select areas are experiencing sets up to chest high. Currently, winds are blowing steadily from the southwest, resulting in crumbly and sloppy conditions across most spots. As the tide moves up from a recent negative low, a slight increase in wave size might occur. It's important to note that the water temperature reported by the NOAA buoy is measured at the surface and may be colder at depth, which can affect your dive experience.
Heisler Park Dive Report
Hey, fellow divers, Audrey Holloway & Dustin Breuer, your trusted sources, are here to bring you the latest updates for our underwater adventures in South SD :
Friday Morning Report/Outlook for South OC: The conditions are generally clean this morning with only light winds, but the surf looks small and a bit drained due to the early negative low tide. A short-period NW swell has increased overnight, making it the predominant force, with occasional small S swells mixing in. The surf is somewhat broken up and peaky, mostly around waist high. A few better combo beach breaks in San Clemente and Dana Point are slightly more promising, possibly reaching chest-high on sets.
If you're planning to head out, it's advisable to do so earlier in the day, ideally before 10 a.m., to catch the incoming tide and while the wind remains minimal. As we move past mid-morning, expect the onshore SW to W winds to build and strengthen significantly by the afternoon, resulting in blown-out and choppy conditions.
