About

Del Mar Jetties, nestled in the heart of San Diego County, offers a regional classic surf experience with both right and left breaks. The sandy bottom, interspersed with rocks, gives rise to rippable waves that start to work at under a meter and can hold up to three meters or more when the swells hit from the northwest, west, southwest, or south. Best enjoyed at rising tides with east or northeast winds, this spot can be fickle, but the rewards are great for the patient surfer willing to navigate localism and the occasional rip current. It’s a place where the ocean sings its timeless song, and every wave carries the promise of adventure.
