Waking up with the waves on Friday, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Newport Beach Patch surf report. Well it's looking a little more inviting out there this morning. We're seeing a few playful size waves coming through, but it's still on the small side.
It's mostly clean early on, with a mix of some small to decent west-northwest swell, a little northwest energy and minor dose of southwesterly swell in the background.
That recipe is providing some fast sectiony lines, with a few rippable shoulders to pick off, but many breaks are lacking shape. Most Newport Beach spots are hanging in the knee- to waist-high range, with the top breaks pulling stomach high waves, with maybe a few plus sets.

Taking a look at those tides...at 10:50 later this morning it drops to a 1.1 low and then doesn't push back up to a 4.6 high until 3:34 early Saturday morning. So, basically your not going to see much change and many spots will be lacking water throughout the day.
If you're planning on paddling, get out at least a 3/2 fullsuit or the 4/3 and possibly the booties, with the water temp hanging between 56 and 57 degrees. See ya in the water!
