AI Spot Summary

Windansea is looking pretty scrappy today, with that relentless WNW onshore wind turning the lineup into a washing machine. The 3-4 ft swell is pushing through, but with the recent runoff and the reef churning, the estimated visibility today is 5-10 ft. It is a classic messy day where the energy is focused right on the break, making for a challenging environment for anyone looking to get wet.

Site Notes

Primarily a surf spot — the famous reef focuses swell energy and turns the lineup into the Windansea break. Only enterable on small, clean days; conditions degrade faster here than at neighboring Marine Street or La Jolla Cove. West-facing with no shelter from NW swell. Watch for surfers in the water.
