SURF REPORT: Dust off the Small-Wave Gear

A small wave board is the call this Tuesday.

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

Well, the small wave gear is definitely your best bet. Yep, the fairly minor energy is hanging around for another day.

We're starting off with some nice and clean conditions early on, with a continued minor dose of mostly south southwest swell and very little, if any, northwest windswell in the water.

That recipe is providing this stretch of sand with some sorta' soft, sectiony lines, with a few fun, workable shoulders.

Most spots in San Clemente are running about knee- to waist-high, with the standout south-facing breaks pulling a few stomach-high sets.

Checking the tides: At 9:42 this morning it climbs up to a 3.9 high and then drops to a 1.9 low at 2:20 this afternoon.

If you're planning on paddling, a 3/2 fullsuit is more than enough with the water temperature averaging between 62 and 64 degrees. Have fun out there!
