Weak Surf Along This Stretch of Sand

Break out the small wave equipment!

Good Thursday morning surfers, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Manhattan Beach Patch surf report. Well, it's about time for a wake-up call! Yep, we're looking at some pretty small and weak surf along this stretch of sand.

The conditions are fairly clean and glassy early on, with a combo of mostly minor southerly swell and some very minimal leftover west northwest energy in the water . That recipe is providing some kinda crumbly sectiony lines, with a few workable ones, with the small wave gear.

Most Manhattan Beach spots are running about knee high, with those focal points pulling some thigh high waves, with a few waist high sets.

Taking a look at those tides, thanks to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration...at 6:37 this morning the tide dropped to a 1.0 low, which is going to have many spots needing water early to mid-morning. Your best bet is waiting for the tide to fill in a bit, as it eventually pushes up to a 2.6 high at 12:40 this afternoon.

If you're going to grab a quick session, you'll want to wear that thicker fullsuit and possibly the booties, with the water temperature averaging between 55 and 56 degrees. Good luck out there!
