Solana Beach has solid, playable waves from the west with a bit of energy but the swell is on the weaker side given the short timing. The southwest wind at 10 mph keeps things fairly steady but the wind score says conditions are pretty blown out, so expect some junk in the lineup. The tide is dropping near low, which works well on this reef break for cleaner shape and less mush. Overall, it’s worth the paddle if you’re chasing workable waves, but not a top-tier session today.
