Thursday Surf Report

Surf Junkie Jeff talks surf conditions.

Good Thursday morning surfers, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Newport Beach Patch surf report.  Well, it's definitely still small, but some spots are showing a little more energy today. 

We're seeing some pretty clean and glassy conditions early on, with a combination of mostly minor northwest windswell and some tiny south southwesterly energy in the mix.  That recipe is offering some racy crumbly lines, with a few fun ones on the small wave gear.

Most Newport Beach spots are running about knee- to thigh-high, with the standout breaks pulling some waist-high waves one on the right tides.

At 9:08 this morning the tide drops to a 0.4 low which will have many spots drained out and needing water mid to late morning.  The tide then pushes back up to a 2.8 high at 3:52 this afternoon.

If you're going to get wet, throw on at least a 3/2 fullsuit or a 4/3 and maybe the booties, with the water temperature averaging between 56 and 57 degrees.  See ya in the water.
