SURF REPORT: Still Minimal Swell

It's rideable with the right board.

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

Well, if you have the right small wave equipment, you'll find a few rideable waves, but overall it's still pretty minimal out there.

We're seeing some pretty clean and glassy conditions early on, with a combination of mostly minor northwest windswell and some little leftover south southwesterly energy in the mix. That recipe is providing some fairly soft sectiony lines, with a few decent shoulders.

Most spots in San Clemente are running about knee- to thigh-high, with the standout breaks pulling some waist-high waves, with not much more than that. 

At 9:08 this morning, the tide drops to a 0.4 low which will have many spots drained out and needing water mid to late morning. The tide then pushes back up to a 2.8 high at 3:52 this afternoon.

If you're going to get wet, throw on 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.
