Marginal Waves at Best!

Waking up with the waves on Friday, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Manhattan Beach Patch surf report. Well, it's looking like a good day to give the arms a rest from paddling. Yep, the surf is still fairly small and we're seeing those conditions take a turn for the worse.

Most spots are starting off, with some texture or bump on it just about everywhere. We've got a mixture of some minor west northwest and west southwest windswells and a little south southwesterly energy in the water.

That recipe is offering some some crumbly and bumpy sectiony lines, with maybe a few decent ones. Most spots in Manhattan Beach are running about knee to thigh high, with the focal points pulling waist high waves, with a few plus sets.

Checking those tides thanks to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. At 10:41 later this morning the tide drops to a 0.2 low which will have many spots lacking water mid to late morning. The tide then climbs back up to a 3.1 high at 5:48 this evening.

If you're going to grab a session before the storm approaches, throw on at least the 3/2 fullsuit or a 4/3 and possibly the booties, with the water temperature hanging between 56 and 57 degrees. Good luck out there!!
