Wednesday Wave Check: Soft and Gutless!

Mostly minimal energy!

Waking up with the waves on Wednesday, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Laguna Beach Patch surf report.  Well, this stretch of sand seems to be blocked by the latest dose of energy.  If you have the time, do a little driving down south where you'll find some playful-size waves. 

We're seeing mostly clean conditions early on, with a mixture of minor swells in the water.  We've got some west-northwest energy and a touch of south southwesterly energy in the water.

That recipe is providing this neck of the woods with some pretty soft and gutless lines, with a few decent ones, with the small wave gear.  Most spots in Laguna Beach are seeing knee-high waves, with the focal points pulling thigh- to waist-high waves, with maybe a few plus sets.

At 7:45 this morning the tide pushes up to a 4.7 high, which isn't helping things either due to the lack of swell.  So, if you can ... wait for that tide to drop a bit, but before it eventually drains out to a 0.1 low at 2:12 this afternoon.

If you're going to get out there, you'll want to wear at least a 3/2 fullsuit and possibly the booties, with the water temperature hanging between 56 and 58 degrees.  See ya in the water!
