Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly •
San Elijo is seeing solid swell energy from the SSW moving through cleanly with light sideshore wind that keeps the conditions manageable. The tide is just barely rising near low, which is less than ideal but still workable for this reef break. Waves are shaping up well with good punch and spacing, making it worth getting wet if you’re chasing solid summer swells. The wind stays gentle and steady from the northwest, so the surface has a slight bump but nothing that kills the flow.
