Good Tuesday morning, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Los Alamitos-Seal Beach Patch surf report. Well, we're seeing some more size out there today which is always nice, but it looks like one of those days where the wind could come up earlier than unusual. The conditions are pretty clean early on, with a mixture of some building west northwest and northwest swells and a touch of very minimal remnant south southwest energy in the water. That recipe is providing us with some crumbly and kind of dumpy sectiony lines, which are breaking close to shore at many spots in this neck of the woods, due to the early morning high tide. Most Seal Beach spots are running about knee to waist high, with the focal points pulling some belly high plus sets. Taking a look at those tides. At 6:16 this morning it climbed up to a 5.1 high which will have many breaks pretty swamped early to mid-morning. The tide then drains out to a negative 0.4 low at 1:28 this afternoon. If you're planning on paddling, throw on that thicker full-suit...like a 4/3 and maybe the booties, with the water temperature averaging between 55 and 57 degrees. See ya in the water!
