Waking up with the waves on Wednesday. Well it looks like there could be a pretty good window once that tide does her thing. Overall the surf is hanging in the playful size at most spots.
It’s nice and clean or light offshore with a mix of leftover south southwest swell and new west northwest energy. That recipe is offering us some kinda soft broken up lines with a few good corners. Things should improve and get steeper once the tide drops a bit.
Most OC beaches are running about knee to chest high with the top combo breaks pulling shoulder high waves with a few head high plus sets.
At 5:16 a.m the tide climbed up to a 6.1 high which has some spots pretty full and slow early on. The tide then drains out to a 0.7 low at 12:54 this afternoon.
If you’re gonna grab a session throw on the 4/3 full and the booties with the water temp at most spots hanging between 54 and 56 degrees.
