Solana Beach works best on a west-northwest swell in the 3-5 foot range with offshore east winds. A medium to high tide smooths out the cobblestone shelf and creates cleaner wave faces. Morning glass before the onshore kicks in is essential here, as the waves get choppy fast once the sea breeze builds.
