Is it too windy to fish at San Diego right now?

Wind matters differently depending on what you launch. These bands are Fishare's own wind ramp applied per boat class — guidance to think with, not a clearance to go.

BoatComfortable up toRight now (5 mph)
Kayak / small tinny (under 4 m) up to 13 mph Conditions look manageable
Trailer boat (4–6 m) up to 17 mph Conditions look manageable
Offshore boat (6 m+) up to 23 mph Conditions look manageable

Is the wind offshore at San Diego today?

SSE runs across the coast at San Diego — neither cleanly offshore nor onshore.

The coast here faces about W (270°), so an onshore wind arrives from that side and an offshore wind from the opposite side. Winds within about 55° of straight on are called; anything more oblique we report as cross-shore rather than guess.

Wind decides whether you can go; water temperature decides what is worth going for — mahi, kings and tuna hold on the warm edges, not the calendar. This is an open-ocean model value at this point: an estuary or a shallow bay reads warmer or cooler.

Today's map, the edges marked, and 7 days of movement

You can see the warm and cold water here. What you cannot see is where the edge sits today, which way it is tracking, or which of your spots sits on it — Fishare finds the breaks automatically and scores every spot against them.

Wind against tide. When wind blows against a running tide the chop stands up short and steep, well beyond what the wind speed alone suggests — the classic reason a forecast "looks fine" and the trip isn't. Check the run against today's tide times: San Diego tide times.
Official warnings. Fishare does not issue marine warnings and nothing on this page is one. The National Weather Service is the authority for US coastal waters — always check National Weather Service before you leave. No warning being shown here does not mean no warning exists.

How this forecast is worked out

Six global weather models — ECMWF, GFS, ICON, GEM, Météo-France and UKMO — are run for this point and combined into one consensus per hour, with outliers rejected. The "models agree" figure is how many of the six stayed close over the next 24 hours; when they disagree, treat the numbers as softer.

What this does not capture: local topographic funnelling around headlands and through heads, sea-breeze timing on a specific beach, gusts under squalls and thunderstorms, or the state of a bar at the moment you reach it. Swell figures are open-ocean model values, not the wave you meet at the entrance.

Decision-support only — not a safety guarantee. Conditions change fast and local knowledge beats any forecast. You are responsible for your own safety.
