Del Mar Beach Overlook

Del Mar Beach Overlook is a WSW-facing beach break in Del Mar, California, United States. It picks up swell from S and SSW to W and WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 60% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
