Trails

📍 Local Knowledge

Trails in San Diego County is an exposed beach break with reasonably consistent surf that works best with a Southwest swell and offshore winds from the East. Winter, especially November, delivers the most consistent clean conditions, with rideable waves about 55% of the time. The break handles distant groundswells well and offers both lefts and rights, with ideal conditions around mid tide on a rising tide. Summer can also provide favorable surf, and despite good wave quality, the spot is rarely crowded, making it a more relaxed option compared to nearby breaks.
