Current Surf Conditions

Last updated: Jun 3, 2026 at 12:47 PM PDT

Mission Beach is running playable waves with solid energy but the swell direction is a bit off from ideal, so the sets aren’t lining up perfectly. The tide is rising near 3 feet, keeping things lively on this beach break. Unfortunately, the wind is blowing strongly from the west and worsening, which is really messing with the conditions. If the wind eases later, surf could clean up but for now it’s pretty blown out.

Quick Conditions Snapshot

Nearly 4 ft SSW swell at 15 seconds with a strong west wind 5 to 10 mph, rising tide near 3 ft, water temp 65.8 F, air temp 69 F.
