CDIP Buoys 191 (San Diego Outer) and 220 (Torrey Pines) indicate building long-period west swell energy. Due to channel island shadowing, San Diego County breaks vary by exposure: north county open beaches (such as Oceanside and Carlsbad) are running waist to chest high, while west-facing focal points and south county reefs (like Black's Beach) are pushing head high to well overhead (5 to 8 ft) with powerful peak sections.
