About
Seaside Reef, nestled in San Diego County, is a regional classic where the waves dance to the rhythm of the North and Northwest swells. A rocky reef break offers both right and left-handers, with a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks, creating barrels that entice the skilled and seasoned surfer. Best surf occurs at low tide, particularly on a falling tide, where the power of the waves can reach heights of over 10 feet. This spot promises a fast, hollow ride that challenges even the most experienced, drawing them to its fickle allure.
