Wave Check: Friday

The latest energy is continuing to fade away!

Waking up with the waves on Friday, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Corona del Mar Patch surf report.  Well it's starting to fade away, with a few of the top combo breaks in the area still seeing a few playful size waves. 

It's clean and glassy from the start, with a mixture of some leftover south southwest swell and some lingering westerly energy in the water.  That recipe is providing some kinda crumbly workable lines, with a few racy sections. 

Most spots in Newport Beach are seeing knee-to waist-high waves, with the top combo breaks pulling some stomach-high waves, with a few chest-high sets.

Taking a look at those tides.  At 8:42 a.m the tide pushes up to 5.1 high which will have many spots pretty inconsistent throughout the morning.  Your best bet...wait for that tide to turn around and drop a bit as it eventually drains out to a negative 0.1 low at 3:05 p.m.

If you're going to get wet, you'll want to throw on that 4/3 fullsuit, with that water temp feeling a bit colder and most spots averaging between 55 and 57 degrees.  See ya in the water!
