Wednesday: Wave Check

Quite a bit of chop on it.

Waking up with the waves on Wednesday, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Corona del Mar Patch surf report.  Well, unfortunately we're dealing with some pretty lousy conditions.

There's quite a bit of chop on it, thanks to the steady south wind.  We've got a combination of mostly decent southwest swell and some smaller west-northwest energy in the water.

That recipe is making for some fast and crumbly disorganized lines with a few pick-and-choose corners.  Most Newport Beach spots are running about knee- to waist-high with the standout breaks pulling stomach-high waves, with a few chest-high sets.

At 4:45 early this morning the tide climbed up to a 4.9 high and then drops to a 1.3 low at 12:01 this afternoon.

If you're itching to get wet, throw on that 4/3 full suit and maybe the booties, with the water temperature hanging between 56 and 58 degrees.  See ya in the water!
