San Diego, a South Swell, and Plenty of Beachbreak Barrels

San Diego isn’t known for performing on a south swell. Unless you know where to go. Like these guys, who scored plenty of beachbreak barrels.

Because of its geographical location, San Diego County doesn’t always perform well on a south swell. It’s more of a winter spot, when west and northwest swells pour in and create wave-riding bliss. Unless, that is, you know where to go. And if you know where to go, well, then, you can certainly score. Especially if the south swell is big enough.

That’s what happened in late August and the YouTube channel SoCal Surfer recently posted this raw cut of regular surfers, surfing irregular waves in San Diego. The beachbreak type that, if you pick the right one, barrel perfectly.
