San Ysidro crossing

Crossing into the US at San Ysidro

Wait times are pulled directly from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection feed and refresh every few minutes. Standard lanes carry the bulk of Mexico-bound travelers; trusted-traveler lanes (NEXUS, SENTRI, Ready) typically clear in a fraction of the time when you have the right document. Plan around early-morning and late-afternoon peaks for the smoothest crossing.
