Monday Wave Check

Waking up with the waves on Monday, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Los Alamitos-Seal Beach Patch surf report.  Well, if you're one of the lucky ones with the day off, then you might as well go get wet.  Overall it's looking pretty small and weak, so you'll mostly likely want to get out of town and head down towards Huntington where you'll find plenty of playful size surf.

The conditions are mostly clean early on, with a mix of some very minor leftover west northwest ground and windswell and a hint of southwesterly energy in the background.

That recipe is making for some drained out dumpy little lines, with a few workable ones on a log or something really thick and wide.  Most Seal Beach spots are running about ankle to knee high, with not much more than that.

At 5:11 early this morning the tide dropped to a 0.1 low and then pushes back up to a 4.5 high at 11:11 later this morning and then drops again to a 0.4 low at 5:05 this evening.

If you're planning on paddling, then throw on at least a 3/2 fullsuit or a 4/3 and maybe the booties, with the water temperature averaging between 56 and 57 degrees.  See ya in the water!

FYI:  Health officials urge surfers and swimmers to stay out of the ocean after a rain for at least 72 hours, especially near river mouths, storm drains and harbor entrances.
