Friday afternoon at Ocean Beach had a mixed west swell running from 260° combined with a south wind swell from 150°, pushing surf in the 2-4 foot range with local sets reaching 5 feet. During the 1730-1845(5:30-6:45pm) window, the tide was on a strong push toward the evening high, swinging from a 0.5-foot low at 1154(11:54am) up to a 4.3-foot high at 1836(6:36pm) - so the sandbars at Tower 3 were filling in fast as the session went on. Winds were moderate and onshore from the WNW averaging around 9 mph, giving the surface that classic choppy late-afternoon OB texture. Not the cleanest conditions, but OB does what OB does - keeps the peaks coming. 📍 Ocean Beach, San Diego, CA - Tower 3 📅 May 15, 2026 | 1730–1845 🌊 2–5 ft | Mixed W/S swell | WNW winds | Rising tide Gear Used: Camera: Canon R6 — https://amzn.to/4eHgKcs Lens: Canon RF 100-500mm - https://amzn.to/4u8WWDI ND Filter: Freewell Variable ND 2-5 Stop — https://amzn.to/42tr2FQ Mic: Rode VideoMicPro Compact — https://amzn.to/4ubZtgu Tripod Head: Manfrotto Video Head - https://amzn.to/4318PiT Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@smolick1 #surf #surfing #waves #oceanbeach #sandiegosurf #sandiego #obsurf #beachbreak #surfing2026
