CDIP Wave Buoys LIDAR In-Situ ATV & JetSki Surveys: San Onofre and Torrey Pines
Insitu Surveys: Above Waterline (Exposed Beach) to Offshore (8m depth) TorreyPines San Onofre
Optech LIDAR Instruments (Light Detection and Ranging) Altitude: 3000 ft Swath Width: 600 ft
Northwest Swell Both San Onofre and Torrey Pines are exposed to North swell.
SouthSwell San Onofre is exposed to South swell Torrey Pines is sheltered from the South by Pt. La Jolla
Exposed to southern swell - causing rapid beach recovery after storms SAN ONOFRE Low Seasonal Variation Partially sheltered from south swell – requires much longer time to recover TORREY PINES High Seasonal Variation [m]
