About
Emery's Left, nestled in San Diego's vibrant coastline, greets surfers with its reliable reef break that favors left-hander rides. The waves, powerful and capable of barreling, come alive with swells from the west and southwest, thriving best at low to mid tides during a falling tide. Surfers should be wary of the sharp coral and rocks lurking beneath, as well as the localism that sometimes colors the lineup. A classic spot for the seasoned rider, it holds its own from under 3 feet to over 12 feet, making it a true gem on the California coast.
