Real-World Conditions
- Plan Your Beach Run with San Diego Tide Predictions!
At Pacific Beach, a tide below 2 feet gives hard sand with little camber. Below 1 foot the beach is nearly flat. At La Jolla Shores, a tide below 2 feet generally gives hard sand with less camber than a road! (Click the meters/feet button to change from metric--also, advance through the days to plan your week!) - Water Temperature at Scripps Pier (La Jolla Shores)
Not many swimmers when the water's below 58 degrees. The cove itself seems to run a degree or two colder than this... - Ocean Swell Height in San Diego
La Jolla Cove can be something of a washing machine when the surf's over 4 feet. Starting from La Jolla Shores can be easier at that height. - Real-Time Nationwide Water Temperatures
