Waking up with the waves on Friday, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Laguna Beach Patch surf report. Well, this latest mixture of swells has dropped a bit So, with that said, most of this stretch of sand is back to fairly small mode.
The conditions are nice and clean from the start, with a combination of some continued fading south-southwest swell and some lingering westerly energy. That's providing some soft lines, with a few workable ones.
Most Laguna Beach spots are running about knee- to thigh-high, with the standout breaks pulling waist-high waves, with maybe a few plus sets.

It looks like we're dealing with another mid-morning high tide that won't help things mid-morning. At 8:42 this morning it pushes up to a 5.1 high, which will have many spots pretty full or even shut down for a while. The tide eventually drains out to a negative 0.1 low at 3:05 this afternoon.
If you're planning on paddling, the water temp feels like it may have dropped a little over the last few days, so break out the 4/3 fullsuit and maybe the booties, with it averaging between 56 and 57 degrees. See ya in the water!
