About
Turtles, nestled in San Diego County, offers a beach break where the waves can rise gently from less than 1 meter to over 2 meters, best surfed at low and mid tides on a falling tide. The bottom is a mix of flat rocks and sand, creating a rippable power that draws surfers to its shores, especially when the Northwest and West swells roll in. Ideal conditions arise with easterly winds, making summer the season of choice, though winter holds its own charm with consistent waves. Expect a lively crowd, as the allure of Turtles is hard to resist for those seeking both challenge and camaraderie.
