Luscomb's surf guide

Luscomb's is a surf spot located along Point Loma, known for its unique reef breaks and often crowded lineup. It's a place where both experienced locals and visiting surfers can find themselves battling for waves. Access involves navigating steep, uneven trails leading down to the surf, so be prepared for a little bit of a hike to reach the water.

The surf at Luscomb's really shines during the winter months, especially on lower tides when W swells roll in. It's a thick peak that can deliver fast sections, making it a fun ride for those who can handle it. You'll find waves breaking primarily over rock ledges, and it can handle swell sizes starting from around 3 ft (0.9 meters). The best bets for surfing here are when the swell is coming from the west, although it can also work with south-west and north-west swells. You can score both left and right waves, which adds to the variety. Just keep in mind that the best wind direction is from the east, with optimal conditions during low to mid tide.

While Luscomb's can deliver some quality surf, it’s worth noting that it can be hit or miss, so don’t expect stellar conditions every time you go. Always be respectful to the locals, as they can be unfriendly if they feel crowded out. Remember to check the surf report before heading out to make the most of your session!
