About

In the rugged embrace of San Diego County, Hospitals serves up waves that are a regional classic, breaking over sharp coral and rocky reefs. The swell, which favors a northwesterly direction, begins to pulse at a modest 1 to 1.5 meters but can rise to formidable heights of 5 meters or more, offering barrels that challenge even seasoned surfers. Both right and left-handers await those brave enough to navigate the sharp bottom, with the best rides found during low to mid-tide on the rising tide. Here, the ocean breathes life into the spirit of surfing, a sacred dance between man and nature.
