Waking up with the waves on Friday, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Los Alamitos-Seal Beach Patch surf report. Well, if nothing else...it's looking like a good day for the groms. Yep, we're seeing more fairly minimal size surf in this neck of the woods, but further south you can find plenty of playful waves.
The conditions are clean and glassy early on, with a mix of some new slowly building steeper angled northwest swell and some minor south southwest energy in the background.
That recipe is making for some pretty weak and crumbly lines, with a few decent ones on a log or something really thick and wide. Most spots in Seal Beach are running about shin to knee high, with the standout breaks pulling a few waist high waves.

Taking a look at those tides...at 8:57 this morning it pushes up to a 4.6 high which will have many spots pretty full and slow mid-morning. Your best bet...once that tide drops a bit, but before it eventually drains out to a 0.4 low at 3:01 this afternoon.
If you're planning on paddling: The water temperature has climbed up a couple of degrees, so throw on no more than a 3/2 full-suit, with it averaging between 58 and 59 degrees. See ya in the water!
