Scripps Pier is seeing solid waves with a clean swell that’s coming from just outside the ideal direction window. The northwest wind is steady, impacting the face and holding conditions in the poor range, so expect some onshore influence. The tide is dropping around mid-level right now, which keeps the sets lined up okay but not perfect. Overall, it’s playable if you’re up for working through some wind chop and looking for punchy, solid waves.
