San Clemente is serving up playable waves with a solid punch from a southwest swell that’s just outside the prime direction but still lining up well. The tide is dropping near four feet, keeping the breaks lively without getting soft or bony. Light northwest winds are barely stirring the water, so conditions stay clean and easy. It’s a good time to get after it with waves holding shape and energy.
