Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly •
San Clemente's surf is solid but on the smaller side, with waves showing good push and shape thanks to a sweet swell direction. The tide is dropping near low, which might tighten up the waves a bit on the beach break. Winds are fair and sideshore from the southwest at a moderate pace, keeping conditions clean enough to get a decent session in. The surf feels playable with punchy sets lined up, worth catching before the tide shifts more.
