San Elijo is seeing playable surf with waves holding solid shape thanks to a strong, long-period swell from the SSW. The swell direction is a bit outside the prime window, so sets might be less consistent but still worth the paddle. The tide is dropping around 3.3 feet, which is excellent for shaping the waves nicely on this beach break. Winds are fair with a sideshore N breeze picking up, so conditions are holding up but expect some texture as the wind trend worsens.
