The San Diego Surf Dawgs are an independent professional baseball team representing San Diego, California, that play in the short-season instructional Arizona Winter League and Arizona Summer League, based out of Yuma, Arizona. They played for two seasons in the now-defunct Golden Baseball League, which was not affiliated with either Major League Baseball or Minor League Baseball. They were the inaugural GBL Champions in 2005 managed by current Tucson Padres manager Terry Kennedy. Their now-former home stadium is named after former Padres great Tony Gwynn, and is located on the campus of San Diego State University. They have been owned by Diamond Sports & Entertainment, primary investors in the newly formed North American League, since 2005.

They currently play at Desert Sun Stadium in Yuma, Arizona (where they are presently based), as part of the AWL and ASL. They were awarded the 2010 ASL Championship.

The Surf Dawgs were one of the eight original GBL charter teams that began play in 2005 along with the Chico Outlaws, Fullerton Flyers and Long Beach Armada in California; Mesa Miners, Surprise Fightin' Falcons and Yuma Scorpions in Arizona and the traveling Japan Samurai Bears. They were known for playing in the same city as a Major League Baseball team, the National League's San Diego Padres.
