Fair Surf Could Go Either Way

Unstable weather means surf before it turns from fair to poor.

Good Tuesday morning surfers, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Manhattan Beach Patch surf report. Well, there's still a decent dose of energy, but we're dealing with some unstable weather, so don't be surprised if the conditions possibly take a turn for the worse at some point during the day. 

It's starting off fairly clean, with some spots already seeing a little texture on them.  We've got a small mix of lingering west northwest swell, some southerly energy and a little new northwest swell starting to show. 

That recipe is making for some kinda crumbly sectiony lines, with a few fun ones, but those sets are a little walled. Most Manhattan Beach spots are seeing knee to stomach high waves, with the focal points pulling some chest high sets.

At 6:10 this morning the tide dropped to a 1.6 low which will have many breaks lacking water early on. The tide then pushes back up to a 3.3 high at 11:44 later this morning, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and then drops again to a 1.4 low at 5:33 this evening.

If you're going to get wet, you'll need at least a 3/2 fullsuit and possibly the booties, with the water temperature hanging between 56 and 57 degrees. Good luck out there!
