Surf Report: Smaller Energy

Low tide: 0.7, 10:03 a.m. / High tide: 4.2, 5:11 p.m.

Good Tuesday morning surf enthusiasts, I'm Surf Junkie Jeff with your Redondo Beach Patch surf report. Well, if you don't care about much size, then it might be worth getting wet. Overall, we're seeing mostly smaller energy along this stretch of sand, with the occasional playful-sized wave.

Those conditions are starting off pretty clean early on, with a mixture of swells in the water.  We have some south-southwest swell and minor northwest windswell out there.

That recipe is offering this neck of the woods with some kind of crumbly and section-y lines, with a few fun shoulders to snag. Most spots in Redondo Beach are seeing knee- to waist-high waves, with the focal points pulling a few stomach-high sets.

Checking the tides—at 10:03 a.m. it drains out to a 0.7 low, which will have some spots in need of water and on the inconsistent side mid-morning.  The tide then pushes back up to a 4.2 high at 5:11 p.m.

If you're planning on paddling, then you'll probably want to wear a 3/2 fullsuit with the water temperature averaging between 57 and 59 degrees. Good luck out there!
