Coronado North Jetty fires on a NW or NNW swell in the 4-7 ft range with 14+ second period—the 320-degree aspect makes it uniquely receptive to pure NW energy that other SD spots don't capture as cleanly. Light east or NE winds and a dropping mid-tide are the ideal setup. The best sessions happen in late fall through early spring when NW groundswells are frequent. Morning glass is essential since the Coronado strand channels afternoon onshore directly up the beach. This spot can be pumping when the rest of SD is flat on a tight NW angle.
