Tuesday Surf Report

Good Tuesday morning surfers, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Newport Beach Patch surf report.  Well, it's looking like a good day to go grab a surf session.  Yep, we're seeing a pretty good dose of swell and those conditions have come together!

It's starting off nice and clean, with a combination of energy.  There's some slowly fading west-northwest swell, some remnant southerly windswell and small south-southwest energy in the water.

That recipe is providing some fast sectiony lines, with plenty of rippable shoulders, with a few good barrels to be had.  Most Newport Beach spots are running about waist- to chest-high, with the focal points pulling shoulder-high plus sets.

At 6:00 this morning the tide drained out to a negative 0.7 low which is going to have many spots really lacking water early on.  The tide then pushes back up to a 4.1 high at 12:11 this afternoon.  Your best bet is probably sometime mid-morning!

If you're planning on paddling, break out at least a 3/2 fullsuit or better yet a 4/3 and possibly the booties, with the water temperature hanging between 56 and 57 degrees.  See ya in the water!

FYI: Don't forget the County Health Department urges surfers and swimmers to stay out of the ocean for at least 72 hours after a rain due to urban runoff, especially near storm drains, river mouths and harbor entrances.
