Spot Guide
Old Man's at Tourmaline is one of San Diego's most accessible and beginner-friendly beach breaks, located in the sheltered Pacific Beach area where consistent waves roll onto a sandy bottom. The spot's east-northeast facing aspect means it picks up south to southwest swell most effectively, with the best conditions arriving during fall and winter swells when the water is still warm from summer heat. Named for its reputation as a perfect introduction to surfing, this break attracts beginners, families, and older surfers looking for mellow, forgiving waves in a vibrant beach community atmosphere.
