San Diego Surf Forecast 🌡️

Welcome to this week’s edition of The Sunday Stoke! Where we we take the playa over pumpkin spice 🎃 any day!

Swell Summary 🌊 This week in San Diego brings a steady run of small but fun surf, with overlapping SSW/S swells keeping most breaks in the waist-to-chest-high range through midweek. The cleanest conditions come early each morning before onshore winds and deep high tides affect shape. By late week, eyes turn to Hurricane Priscilla, which could deliver a new SSE swell if its track lines up right.

Blue = Poor | Green = Average | Orange = Good

North County Report 🌊 

Best Bet ✅ Wednesday morning (Oct 8) offers the cleanest combo of tide and wind with consistent SSW swell for fun waist-chest high waves at structured summer spots.

Worst Bet ❌ Late afternoons midweek, when rising tides and onshore bump flatten what little energy is left in the water.

South County Report 🌊 

Best Bet ✅ Fingers crossed for Hurricana Priscilla delivering good surf this weekend.

Worst Bet ❌ Similarly afternoon winds will be party pooper throughout the week.

What’s Happening at the Beach?! 🏖️ 

• Oceanside Oktoberfest 🍺 Saturday 11am-6pm @ Oceanside Pier

• Ocean Beach Oktoberfest 🍺 Saturday 12pm-11:30pm

Did you Know? 🌎️ 

The very first Oktoberfest wasn’t about beer at all — it started in 1810 as a royal wedding celebration in Munich, complete with horse races. The beer tents and steins came later, but now it’s the world’s biggest beer festival, drawing millions every year🍻

San Diego festivals like Ocean Beach are unique because you can surf in the morning + follow it up with a stein in the afternoon!
