Ocean Beach has solid energy with clean waves hitting from the south-southwest. The swell is perfectly lined up for this summer beach break, producing well-spaced sets that hold shape nicely. Light west winds keep things smooth but are starting to pick up a bit, so conditions may edge toward a slight bump later. The tide is dropping near low, which is helping keep waves peeling but may require some positioning as the water levels shift.
