About
Diamond Street, nestled in the heart of San Diego, is an exposed beach break favored for its rippable waves. With a sandy bottom and a mix of right and left-hand breaks, it comes alive with swells from the north, northwest, southwest, and south, reaching heights from less than 3 feet to over 10 feet on a good day. Best surfed during rising and falling tides at mid to high, the spot can become crowded, particularly in summer when the offshore winds from the east-northeast keep conditions clean. A place where the ocean meets the city, Diamond Street offers both the thrill of the surf and the camaraderie of fellow wave riders.
