HYDROGRAPHIC REFRACTION, TAKEOFF & EXIT CHANNEL PROFILE
Beach & Reef Bottom ProfileWellenmechanik (Sandstrand (Beachbreak)): Langperiodische Dünungszüge (14s+) brechen sich unmittelbar am submarinen Vulkanschelf und bündeln 55 kJ an Wellenenergie in der Takeoff-Zone, während die Welle sauber abläuft. Die benachbarte Fahrrinne leitet das Wasser ruhig ab, ohne Surfer in die Impact-Zone zu ziehen.
1. GOLDENE REGEL FÜR DEN EINSTIEG
Beginners should paddle out south at La Jolla Shores where the submarine canyon mellows the swell; intermediates/advanced surfers head right to the Scripps Pier pilings where canyon refraction amplifies A-frame peaks.
Maximales Hochwasser: {tide}m: 2.10m•Minimales Niedrigwasser: {tide}m: 0.40m
