Board call

7'0 CI Waterhog

Backup: 6'0 Gen 2 Keel

Mediocre, crowded, close to home, zero stakes -- the Waterhog's entire reason to exist

Swell's SW -- in the window, but well off the best angle here (W)
2.4ft of 6s chop carrying 56% of the energy -- relentless paddle, textured faces, no lulls

Black's Beach Maybe

~4.0ft face

Board call

6'0 Surfer Rosa

Backup: 6'5 Egg

Chest-to-head with real push behind it

Canyon amplification ~+62% (modelled) on the 15s energy (buoy reads 15s in the water; the model's blended 11s hides it)
Swell's SW -- in the window, but well off the best angle here (WNW)
2.4ft of 6s chop carrying 56% of the energy -- relentless paddle, textured faces, no lulls

Water quality — check before you go

Nothing acute, but the chronic spots are still the chronic spots.

This is inferred, not official. There is no public API for County of San Diego beach advisories, so this brief cannot see them. It reasons from rainfall history and live San Diego River discharge (USGS gauge 11023000) against each break's known chronic sources. A posted advisory or a sewage spill will not appear here. The authoritative check is sdbeachinfo.com or 619-338-2073 — and at OB Jetty, the folder's instruction is to check it every single time. Post-rain windows here are 48h for light rain and longer for storms; the County advises a flat 72 hours after any rain.
