New Break (Nubes) is a beach break in San Diego, CA. A forgiving beach break compared to the heavy reef slabs nearby. The 245-degree aspect catches west and southwest swells, and the sandy bottom produces shifting peaks that break both left and right. Waves are generally more playful and less critical than the main Sunset Cliffs setups—ideal for working on turns rather than survival surfing. On solid SW swells, a defined left develops along the south end of the break. The wave has more push than it looks from the cliff—don't underestimate the paddle out through the shorebreak. Forecasts are updated every 3 hours using ML-corrected NOAA models with live buoy data from CDIP, NDBC, and IOOS stations.
