Solana Beach is holding playable sets with clean shapes thanks to a steady sideshore breeze from the southwest. The swell is solid with enough energy for some punchy rides, though the swell direction isn’t quite ideal, so wave consistency can be a bit spotty. The tide is dropping from a moderate height, which tends to soften the reef break just a little but still keeps it surfable. Overall, it’s a decent session if you don’t mind a bit of variability and light wind bumps on the water.
