Grab the Small Wave Gear

Back to small mode!

Waking up with the waves on Monday, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Manhattan Beach Patch surf report. Well, it's continuing to back down, with most spots seeing mostly small surf out there!

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

That recipe is providing some kinda crumbly sectiony lines, with a few fun workable corners, with the right small wave equipment. Most spots in Manhattan Beach are running about knee to waist high, with the focal points pulling a few plus sets.

Taking a look at those tides...at 6:02 this morning it climbed up to a 4.5 high which will have some spots pretty slow early on. The tide then drops to a 0.0 low at 1:03 this afternoon, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

If you're going to grab a session, break out at least that 3/2 fullsuit and maybe the booties, with the water temperature averaging between 56 and 57 degrees. Good luck out there!

FYI...The county health department encourages surfers and swimmers to stay out of the ocean for at least 72 hours after a rain due to the possibility of elevated bacteria levels especially near river mouths, storm drains and harbor entrances.
