Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

South Jetty and Dog Beach in San Diego County is an exposed beach break with dependable surf, particularly during the summer. Offshore winds from the east and groundswells, with the best swell direction from the southwest, provide consistent waves. The beach break offers both left and right handers, and it's surfable at all stages of the tide. It can get crowded, especially when the surf is up. Hazards include rocks and dog waste. The best conditions are reported when a southwest swell combines with offshore winds from the east, with November being the most reliable month for clean waves.
