About

North Scripps, nestled in the heart of San Diego County, offers a classic beach break where both lefts and rights peel off the sandy bottom, delivering barrels that can thrill the seasoned surfer. Best surfed at mid-tide during rising or falling phases, the spot awakens with northwest swells between 1.0m to 3m, making winter the prime season for consistent rides. Accessible and less crowded than its nearby counterparts, it provides a serene escape with protection from the fickle southwest winds. Beware the undertows and the lurking shadows of the deep, for adventure here comes with its own perils.
