Break Out the Small Wave Gear Again

There's pretty small surf on tap along this stretch of sand.

Good Thursday morning surfers, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Manhattan Beach Patch surf report. Well, you're not going to find much in the way of waves along this stretch of sand. So, if you're planning on paddling, get out the small wave gear!

It's mostly clean and glassy early on, with a fairly small mix of energy in the water. We've got a little south southwest swell and a tad of northwest windswell in the water.

That recipe is offering this stretch of sand some fairly weak sectiony lines, with a few workable corners. Most Manhattan Beach spots are running about knee high, with the top combo breaks pulling thigh high waves, with a few waist high sets.

At 5:27 this morning, the tide climbed up to a 4.0 high, which could have some spots a little full early on. The tide then drops to a 0.5 low at 11:45 later this morning and then pushes up again to a 5.1 high at 6:25 this evening, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

If you're going to get wet, throw a 3/2 fullsuit, with the water temperature hanging between 58 and 60 degrees. See ya in the water!
