A Few Small Waves Coming Through

The energy is playful. Bring out the small wave gear.

Good Tuesday morning surfers, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Manhattan Beach Patch surf report. Well, we're looking at mostly small energy, with a few playful size waves coming through. 

The conditions are mostly clean early on, with a mix of fading swells. We've got some minor northwest wind and groundswell and some leftover southerly swell in the water.

That recipe is providing some fairly soft sectiony lines, with a few fast corners, but you'll probably want to get out the small wave gear! Most Manhattan Beach spots are pulling knee to stomach high waves, with the focal points seeing a few bigger sets.

Checking those tides thanks to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, at 11:54 later this morning the tide drains out to a 0.1 low which will have many spots lacking water mid-day. The tide then pushes back up to a 3.9 high at 6:45 this evening.

If you're going to get wet, throw on at least a 3/2 fullsuit or even a 4/3 and maybe the booties, with the water temp taking a bit of a dip and averaging between 56 and 58 degrees. Good luck out there!!
