Thursday Surf Report

It's definitely worth grabbin a session!

Good Thursday morning surfers, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Los Alamitos-Seal Beach Patch surf report.  Well, today is the day to grab a session while there's a break in between the storms.  There's a decent dose of action and those conditions have definitely cleaned up out there.

Most spots are fairly smooth, with some spots seeing a little texture on it.  We've got a combination of mostly west northwest swell, some northwest windswell and minor south southwest energy in the water.

That recipe is making for some fast sectiony lines, that are a bit soft early on due to the mid-morning extreme high tide.  Most Seal Beach spots are running about knee to chest high, with the top combo breaks pulling a few larger sets.

At 7:59 this morning the tide pushes up to a 6.4 high which will have many breaks pretty full throughout the morning.  The tide then drains out to a negative 1.3 low at 2:47 this afternoon.

If you're going to grab a session, you'll want to wear at least a 3/2 fullsuit or a 4/3 and maybe the booties, with the water temperature hanging between 56 and 57 degrees.  See ya in the water!

FYI...Remember the County Health Department says surfers and swimmers should stay out of the water after a rain for at least 72 hours, especially near storm drains and river mouths.
