Avalanche is a beach break in San Diego, CA. Avalanche is a powerful, steep beach/reef break that produces fast, hollow waves on west and WNW swells. The takeoff zone is tight and the wave jacks up quickly over the rocky bottom. Lefts tend to be longer and more workable, while rights are shorter and punchier. It handles size well up to double overhead before the currents become unmanageable. The wave has more power than most San Diego beach breaks—it earned the name 'Avalanche' for a reason. Works best on medium-period swells (12-16 seconds) that wrap into the cliffs. Forecasts are updated every 3 hours using ML-corrected NOAA models with live buoy data from CDIP, NDBC, and IOOS stations.
