Knee-waist high surf, chest-high+ for better breaks. Shape best mid-AM as tide comes in.
Dawn-10am: Little mix of SW/SSW swells for knee-waist high waves, pushing chest high for better spots from West Newport to the HB Pier, a little bigger for standouts once the negative low tide fills in around 7-8am. Some onshore S wind crumble to deal with, but not bad.
A little bit of NW energy in the mix, should be enough for a couple corners at the open beachbreaks given the smaller Southern Hemi swell on tap.
PM Outlook: Moderate onshore lump, a little more size.

Newport Lower Jetties Surf Guide
36th is a great place for average surfers in the summer. On big, closeout south swells, you can find fun peaks/left walls in that area. However, the closer you get to the pier the smaller the waves will be. The waves are more forgiving and mellower than the upper jetties. 36th can be fun with the winter's west swells too. Plus there's less crowd and it's less competitive than 28th Street and Blackies. (Hint: It's worth a check on big closeout south swells when the south wind is blowing.) Read more
