SURF REPORT: Break Out the Small Wave Gear

Dust off the small wave gear!

Good Tuesday morning surfers, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your San Clemente Patch surf report.

Well, it's definitely time to get out the small wave gear. Yep, there's not a whole lot happening out in the Pacific.

We're seeing some pretty clean conditions early on, with a combo of some minor leftover west northwest energy and a super small dose of southwesterly swell in the background.

That's making for some crumbly lines, with a few fun, workable corners on a log or a fish.

Most spots in San Clemente are seeing knee-high waves, with the focal points pulling thigh- to waist-high waves, with maybe a plus set, if you're lucky.

At 6:15 this morning the tide dropped to a 0.3 low which will definitely have many spots lacking water early on.  The tide then climbs back up to a 3.7 high at 12:13 this afternoon.

If you're going to grab a session, break out at least a 3/2 full or a 4/3 and possibly the booties, with the water temperature hanging between 56 and 57 degrees.  See ya in the water!
