I was recommended to come here by a friend of mine who loves to surf a lot. This one is apparently the 'outlet' edition of their usual store. When we walked in, there was lots of sales being advertised on a lot of the racks when we walked in. Definitely makes a big difference since the clothing products here are definitely on the pricier end. My first time shopping at this retail store and they have a great selection related to swimwear!!! I was interested in buying a wetsuit and was also informed on the differences between the 4/3 and the 5/3 millimeters of the wetsuits. A 4/3 (4mm for the torso and 3mm for the arms) is better for moderate to cold water with higher flexibility, while the 5/3 is warmer and designed for colder, winter waters, and is slightly less flexible. My goal is to be warm as I don't want to feel too cold so I went with the 5/3. There's a good amount of fitting rooms that are good sized to be trying them on. My first time trying on wetsuits and I felt like a seal LOL!!! I purchased one but keep in mind that even with the clearance sale I got it for, it was $120+. My girlfriend tried finding bikinis but there was little sizing for her and lots of the two pieces were separated and the designs weren't matching so she didn't get any. read more

I love this store and come back every time I visit San Diego. Selection on products is good. You have to work a little on finding a matching top and bottom bikini but I don't mind it. All the employees are really nice and helpful. Great prices too! read more

Best outlet in San Diego. I absolutely love this store! The prices are great! We always come here to buy presents for (ourselves) friends and family. They have a nice selection for both men's and women's merchandise. Everything from bathing suits, dresses, tshirts, shorts, flip flops, wetsuits, backpacks, hats, etc... The sales staff are SO friendly! Shout out to Vanessa and Ryan! They are sooo personable, friendly, outgoing and helpful!!!! On this day I purchased a Birthday present for my friend! A RipCurl bag with a bathing suit, romper, scrunchie, and a dress. She absolutely LOVED everything. She even went back the following week with her kids to shop and purchase more! read more

Rip Curl - RipCurl bag - Surf Shop Near Me - San Diego, California

The staff were friendly and there was a large selection of wetsuits and beachwear to choose from. Keep in mind a log of they wetsuits are a later year model so don't expect to find any new products at a discounted price. I had questions concerning sizing and thickness of the wetsuit and the staff was very knowledgeable and helped me find the right one! The parking lot is small but if you're patient, you'll be able to find a spot. The storefront looks a bit small but once you enter, you'll be overwhelmed with their selection! read more

There store was very organized and had a lot of options to choose from, but for me, the 2 girls at the counter (6-22-2024 4:40 ish) were so friendly and made sure that we got the deals that they had that day. I was getting sandals and she told me that it was a mix and match so I could get something else, and I could get another tee-shirt for the 2/$20 deal. They were extremely patient and helpful. I also ended up leaving my purse there which had no phone number, so they found my name tag for my job and called them to let them know. They had it ready for me when I got there and were very understanding and explained why they called my job. :) read more

Rip Curl customer service and wetsuits USED to be the gold standard. Unfortunately this is no longer the case. After 3 uses of the RipCurl Flashbomb Heatseaker (and owning it for less than 2 weeks), my chest strap broke entirely. The wetsuit can no longer be used. I reached out to the store for options to remedy my situation (keep in mind my other wetsuit is currently in the RipCurl repair shop since 2/15/21 after less than a year of owning it) to see what could be done. They were not able to give me a return, store credit, exchange, or even a loaner suit (if I send the suit for repairs). In addition, the estimated wait time for repairs is 3 months. Don't waste your time with an overpriced wetsuit that won't last you a single surf season and save the hassle of buying from a company with abysmal customer service. Your money is better spent at any other company. read more

I'm really happy that they opened the Rip Curl outlet in San Diego. We discovered it on our way to church one afternoon and have come back several times since. I have been able to find a bikini, sweaters, and sweatshirts that are deeply discounted. I've also bought pants, T-shirt's, and shorts for my son and husband. There are so many choices here and It's great for the whole family! read more

So stoked I went to check it out today. They have a large selections of clothes, wetsuits accessories along with a few surfboards, fins and surfboard bags. I really like how everything in there is organized and neat. No need to stiff through piles or unorganized clothes. Everything is arranged by size and color although the hangers sizes do not always match the actual size of the item of clothing. I like that the store wasn't busy even though it was a Saturday. The girls working there were super sweet and friendly. Very helpful with getting us items that were on the high racks on the walls. My husband got a nice tee today for only $14.95. We will be back for sure. Lots of great beach, travel options for guys and girls. They even have kids wetsuits! read more

Such great deals on top of excellent customer service! I went here for some Christmas gifts and birthday gifts and then went back to get some cute stuff for me! Got some cute dresses and the best sweater ever! read more

When I first walked past this store, I had to do a double take. This tiny strip is most known for being filled with food and drink spots, so I wasn't expecting to see a huge clothing and surf shop. We walked in and it was filled with very clean and neat racks full of discount items. The clothing racks are sorted by the type of clothing and the price. They've got so many good finds! If you're looking for chill casual surf wear, I highly recommend coming here. There are tons of shirts, board shorts, everything. They also sell other things like surf wax and other equipment. The people are friendly and there is a lot to get at a discounted rate! read more

Came here hoping to find a good deal on a wetsuit for myself and for my kids. I thought they were still over priced when I know I can get new ones else where for the same price or cheaper. On the plus side the clothes were great and good deals. The bathing suits were super cheap and I even got flip flops. The store is bigger than I expected and had lots of stuff for both men and women. Both employees that worked there were incredible helpful. Very good customer service. I will be back! read more

I like this place. Good deals - sometimes GREAT deals - and friendly staff! They have a pretty good return policy for an outlet.

One of my favorite spots to go for some great quality surfing clothes! They have a variety of selections of clothing to wetsuits to surfboards! My brother got a great deal on one of the used boards, there was just a ding that he had to ignore, but it was a great price! The have men's and women's ! Great customer service and they are all friendly and you can find someone that is knowledgeable about wetsuits and boards there! read more

Great deals on great gear! Great for Christmas shopping for the next summer. They have some great wetsuits not just clothing.

Poor customer service. The young woman at the front desk seemed bothered when we asked for assistance. Of course, she appeared to be busy on her phone, so we may have interrupted an important moment in her life. Ended up going to Clairemont Surf Shop to buy a wetsuit. They were very helpful and knowledgeable.we left happy and with a new wetsuit. We have Rip Curl Surf Outlet to thank for the leading us to the Clairemont Surf Shop. read more

This is my favorite store for my boys and gifts. Can always find quality items for a reasonable prices and some great deals!

The wetsuit selection is not that great but they have lots of surfing "non-essentials". Overall it's nice having one of these in San Diego instead of having to drive to San Clemente. read more

Shop is okay, good selection but maybe a little pricey. Low rating is because the surf rats don't seem to know how to park. It's a small lot, and half the time these nimrods with full size trucks park on or over the lines, sometimes so close people can't get their doors open. Perhaps Rip Curl could offer their customers parking tips, or even lessons! read more

Best surf apparel shop in san diego county. Whether you live in sd or its your first time going to the beach, this is your first stop shop for the best prices and widest selection of beach gear. I live in Oceanside and I drive 45 minutes to shop here because of the vibes; excellent customer service! Easy location off the freeway and close to the beach, you cant beat the prices! Thank you for being there for us! read more

You can get some good deals there but beware their "no returns" policy. I bought a sweatshirt that started to shed fleece and they wouldn't even exchange it. The girl at the register was quite snippy about it and unpleasant. read more

Never would have known this place was even there without finding it here on Yelp! Got my sons all the gear they needed (wetsuits) PLUS some nice shirts shorts and shoes. They really helped me to find the right sizes. At the time they didn't have a huge selection of wetsuits, but they had everything I needed. Good prices and selection on clothing. Great service! read more

So excited that this outlet store opened! Anytime I drove to Orange County I would make sure to stop at the outlet at Trestles because I would find amazing deals. Well you (or I) no longer have to make the trek from San Diego up there because a nearly identical outlet opened here in San Diego! They seem to have the same great deals on swimwear, clothing, wetsuits, etc. The store was a lot bigger inside than it looks like it is from the outside. One of the girls working there was super helpful getting additional sizes down for me and making sure I was finding what I was looking for. The deals were good but I'm also hoping that they have the same amazing sales as the Trestles Outlet so I can go on a major shopping spree. So excited this shop opened and you should definitely go visit soon for great deals for guys and girls on surf stuff! read more

I tried to buy wet suits via Amazon 3 times and I just waisted my time. Here Mikey immediately found me ideal suit and it was not expensive! Thank you) read more

This is a nice place, they have good deals, friendly spot. Great vibes with Hawaiian plate lunch next door.

Ive been to the Rip Curl Outlet 4 times already. They have great service, an awesome selection & prices are right!

I was super stoked they opened up a rip curl outlet in San Diego! I bought a set of fins from here, and unfortunately picked out the wrong size. I brought them back 3 days later unopened and with a receipt and they told me they can only do exchanges for store credit. Really poor policy in my opinion, especially because the inventory is pretty limited so they didn't have the ones I was looking for in stock. No plans to shop here again. read more

Dropped in here for a wetsuit for my son. Truly AMAZING service; the guys were super helpful. The store is huge and very well laid out, and everything is organized so its easy to browse. I highly recommend coming in if you need clothing or wetsuits. Great assortment of flip flops too! read more

This was my first time going to the outlet and I loved it. Clean,organized, and great prices... they could work on their customer service though... read more
