Surf Crystal Pier

Crystal Pier - San Diego, California Crystal Pier features a beach break with both right and left waves, breaking over a sandy bottom. The spot is accessible via a short walk (<5 min) from nearby parking, with public access available. It works best at mid to high tide during rising tide conditions, with ordinary to powerless wave power. This popular surf spot can get crowded during summer, especially with rental boards in the water, but offers a more enjoyable experience in the fall, winter, and spring. The ideal wind directions are from the east and northeast, while swell can come from the north, northwest, west, and southwest. Surfers should be cautious of pollution in the area. For a quick check on conditions, view from the cul-de-sac on Felspar, but be mindful of parking regulations to avoid tickets.
