Tijuana Sloughs needs a solid NW swell in the 6-10+ foot range to really turn on—it's wasted on small days. Best on a mid-to-high incoming tide (3.5-5 ft) which provides enough water over the bars to prevent the worst close-outs. Light east-northeast offshores are essential to hold up the heavy lips. The spot fires on the same big NW winter swells that light up the rest of Southern California, but with more power and consequence due to the direct NW exposure and steep beach. December through February is prime season for the biggest, most consistent swells.
