Waking up with the waves on Monday, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Corona del Mar Patch surf report. Well, if you don't care about much size, then go get wet. Yep, it's back to small mode just about everywhere!
The conditions are fairly clean early on, with a minor combination of leftover west northwest ground and windswell and a little southwesterly energy in the water.
That recipe is offering some racy sectiony lines, with a few corners that'll allow for a couple of turns. Most spots in the Newport Beach area are running about knee-to waist-high, with the standout breaks pulling a few belly-high plus sets.

At 5:11 a.m the tide dropped to a 0.1 low and then climbs back up to a 4.5 high at 11:11 a.m and then drops once again to a 0.4 low at 5:05 p.m.
If you're planning on paddling, you'll want to wear at least a 3/2 fullsuit or a 4/3 and maybe the booties, with the water temperature averaging between 56 and 57 degrees. See ya in the water!
