San Elijo is seeing solid southwest swell that's building toward prime size. Waves have good punch and shape, lined up nicely for the reef break, with the tide rising around mid-level, which is scoring excellent for the spot. The west wind at 10 mph is fair and sideshore but improving, so conditions are pretty clean with minimal chop. Definitely worth getting wet if you’re up for some quality sets.
