Tuesday Surf Report

Good Tuesday morning surfers I'm Surf Junkie Jeff, with your Newport Beach Patch surf report.  Well, you can definitely ride just about anything out there today.  Yep, it's continuing to hang on the small side, with a few playful waves coming through.

The conditions are nice and clean early on, with a mixture of energy in the water.  There's some lingering northwest swell and some minor southerly swell in the background. 

That recipe is providing some sorta soft peaky lines, with a few rippable corners.  Most Newport Beach spots are running about knee- to waist-high, with the standout combo breaks pulling a few stomach-high sets. 

At 6:59 this morning the tide climbs up to a 4.6 high which will have many spots pretty full and inconsistent mid-morning.  So if you have the time...wait for that tide to drop a bit before paddling out.  It eventually drains out to a 0.0 low at 1:41 this afternoon.

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

FYI: County Health Officials urge surfers and swimmers to stay out of the ocean for at least 72 hours after a rain due to urban runoff, especially near river mouths, storm drains and harbor entrances.
