SURF REPORT: Waves Continue Backing Down Friday

Waking up with the waves on Friday, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your San Clemente Patch surf report.

Well, it looks like she's continuing to lose steam out there. We're looking at mostly smaller size surf, with still a few playful size waves coming through.

The conditions are mostly clean from the start, with mainly leftover south southwest swell and some very minimal northwest windswell in the water.

That recipe is offering this stretch of sand with some kinda' crumbly, sectiony lines, with a few fast shoulders. Most spots in San Clemente are running about knee- to waist-high, with the standout breaks pulling stomach high waves, with an occasional chest-high set. 

Taking a look at the tides: At 7:48 this morning, it drains to a negative 0.5 low, which will have most spots lacking water throughout mid-morning. Your best bet is once that tide turns around and then eventually climbs up to a 3.4 high at 2:43 this afternoon.

If you're planning on paddling, you can throw on a 3/2 fullsuit, with the water temperature feeling fairly comfortable and averaging between 59 and 61 degrees.

See ya' in the water!
