Blacks Beach (San Diego)
VPQV+95 San Diego, CA, USA
About This Break
Strong rip currents, sneaker sets, powerful hollow surf, heavy crowds, localism and a demanding paddle on larger days. Access is another major consideration: the beach lies beneath approximately 300-foot cliffs, and the popular Gliderport route is steep and rugged. Cliff instability and landslides are legitimate hazards, so stay on established access routes and away from the base of unstable cliffs.
An underwater canyon focuses swell into some of California's most powerful beach-break peaks.
