SURF REPORT
Wuddup, this is davO with the report for Tuesday afternoon at 12:30pm.
SURF:
2-3 ft - knee to waist high and fair conditions.

PM REGIONAL OVERVIEW:This afternoon we are seeing small-but fun waves in the knee to waist high range with the better spots pulling in the occasional bigger set to chest high. Well-shaped little lines with workable shoulders and clean surface conditions. Should become a bit more consistent on sets as the tide starts to drop into the evening.

This morning's dawn patrol: Clean, semi-peaky lines with a few racy shoulders on the better set waves. Inconsistent overall and pretty small overall, maybe the tide push will help a bit.

WEATHER:
Clear skies with calm to light offshore winds.
NORTH ORANGE COUNTY'S REGIONAL OVERVIEW:
Small scale mix of mostly SSW swell with tiny WNW leftovers mixing in for fairly peaky shape when the sets roll through. Overall its pretty tiny though with mainly knee-thigh high waves and inconsistent waist high+ sets at the top spots. Conditions are clean and glassy with calm to light offshore winds and the tide is climbing to a 5.1' high at 12:30pm so there could be a slight improvement on the tide push over the next couple hours.
FORECAST SUMMARY:
WEDNESDAY: Small SSW swell and minor remnant old WNW swell for knee-thigh-waist zone waves.
Wind: Light/variable early, turns WNW 10-12kts in the afternoon.
