    Silver Strand needs a south to south-southwest swell in the 3-6 foot range—this is a summer spot. The 190-degree aspect means NW winter swells barely register here. Best on calm mornings before the onshore winds develop, ideally with a mid-to-high tide to keep the shorebreak manageable. The magic window is a solid Southern Hemisphere swell in June through September with light morning winds. When the rest of San Diego is flat between winter swells, check Silver Strand if there's any south energy on the buoys.
