Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Sandbox in San Diego County is an exposed beach break that is often working, with the best conditions occurring in summer when west-northwest swells align with offshore winds from the east. The break offers both left and right-hand waves and is typically best around mid tide. Though it can sometimes get crowded, the most consistent clean waves are found in winter, especially in January. Hazards include crowds and rocks.
