Tuesday Surf Report

More minimal swell.

Good Tuesday morning surfers, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Los Alamitos-Seal Beach Patch surf report.  Well, we're starting off with another day of really small energy out there, but look for the waves to potentially build a bit throughout the day.

The good news: The conditions are pretty clean and glassy, but with the approaching storms over the next couple of days, this could be the last clean day of surf for a little while.

We're seeing a pretty small mix of minor west-northwest energy and a little southerly swell in the water.  That's making for some crumbly lines which are breaking kinda close to shore, due to the early morning high tide.

Most Seal Beach spots are seeing ankle-high waves, with the standout spots pulling a few knee-high-plus waves coming through.  If you head south toward Huntington you'll find some more playful size waves!

At 6:29 this morning the tide pushed up to a 5.9 high, which will have many spots pretty swamped or even shut down early to mid-morning.  The tide then drains out to a negative 1.0 low at 1:41 this afternoon.

If you're going to get wet, break out at least a 3/2 full- or a 4/3 and maybe the booties, with the water temperature hanging between 56 and 58 degrees.  See ya in the water!
