Local Knowledge & Surf Guide
Local Knowledge
Stone Steps in San Diego County is an exposed beach break with inconsistent surf and no clear seasonal pattern. It works best with groundswells from the west and offshore winds from the east, producing lefts and rights on the beach break. Conditions are typically best around mid tide when the tide is rising. The spot is rarely crowded, offering a more relaxed experience compared to busier breaks. While inconsistent, the most reliable clean waves usually occur in winter, especially in January.
