San Elijo is seeing playable sets with a solid long-period swell, though the swell direction is a bit off from ideal so the waves won't be perfectly lined up. The west winds are steady and fair but creating some sideshore bumps, so surf faces a bit of texture without being too rough. The tide is dropping near 3 feet, which keeps the waves shaping up well on this beach break, and the water temp feels comfortable for a wetsuit.
