Anyone else get some today...?

Really fun weekend down here. Surfed Friday and Sunday (rain Friday) and still not sick, so hopefully I win!

Friday built all day and then the wind shifted at like 3:30 to blow straight offshore. Glassy, offshore, 6-8 feet I'd say (not as big as predicted) on Friday from 3:30 through sunset. Just me and 2 guys out. The SSW windswell really helped break up the groundswell, and there were some great waves. Just had a handful but my confidence is growing enormously every time I get out and it's above HH.

Saturday I took a look but it was unruly and did some family-time stuff with the GF and her dad. Spent a good 20 minutes watching people try to get out of the water at Garbage at a medium-high tide. Yikes.

Sunday AM session was glassy, a bit more of a crowd that kept me away from the more known breaks, but my spot was shoulder-head high still, and lefts for days. One of those sessions where I felt like I got the most/best waves out there of the 15ish surfers spread across 100 yards at my spot.

If the wind isn't to bad heading out in just a few mins once I'm home from work. Old WNW falling while new WNW builds in.

My last post disappeared I think?

I guess not, but it's not showing up for me in my browser. I can see my last two posts in the TGR app though. Anyway...

Yesterday I think may have been the biggest day for swell yet this past week down here. Surfline called it 5-8 again, but it was definitely bigger than last week's 5-8, and had more power at about 17s rather than 13-14s.

Paddled out last night with some mild offshores (love these storms, we never get offshores at 4pm!) and got one wave, but mainly got worked. Took a few clean up sets on the head, didn't make a drop on a set wave and got sent straight into the pit, and then it got dark and I was still in need of a wave home. Ended up having to ride the whitewater in since I didn't want to be out alone in bigger surf in the dark. Hadn't been worked like that yet in my short surfing "career". Putting the power of the ocean back into perspective.

Had a couple hours this morning to head out, but ended up sleeping in. Tide too high, S winds, some wonky windswell mixing in.

Should get real good again this weekend.

Yup. Tomorrow looks solid. Light winds, long period and deep water swell likely in excess of twelve feet. In fact, things look to be good right up till Christmas at least.

May try to pull off the morning ski, afternoon surf tomorrow, but not convinced Baldy is worth the time. Still haven't done that combo yet since moving here.

Chose to chase snow over surf Saturday. Still have not heard back from my buddy who likely paddled out yesterday. Today was fun. OH, long, heavily wobbled walls, that so, on occasion squared up on the point and delivered the juice. Others just faded back into the ocean, weak and sad. Nothing less than a few feet OH, some pushing up toward DOH. Fun. More of the same on schedule for the week.

More wintery surf here. Big storm waves heading in from the NW, strong winds coming in from the SW. Caught a few waves but couldn't find the love like last week. Lumpy, mushy and sometimes a perfect (but big) line. Really hard to position yourself properly. Felt damn cold too.

[Ottime]

Man. What was looking like ideal conditions this week have turned the swell to pretty much crap. Surfed up the coast today. Sloppy at best. Several feet OH to almost DOH, with a lot of juice, but shape was just not there. Heavy drops often followed by a totally flat wave were not uncommon. Even the more lined up waves required a lot of work staying in the pocket and managing the bounce/warble. Hoping things clean up and settle a bit with the next swell, as the recent rain on snow event does not have me inspired to drive to the mountains.

Jajaaaaaa

Lots of surf this past weekend. A 290+ with juice...conditions ranged from 2' to 15'+ all within about 10 miles of coast. Pretty fun, water is still in the 60+ range, so 3/2 is all you need. Still lots of guys trunking it.

dude who posts about imaginary friends and life on the internet enjoys a little assumed shadenfreude. go figure. moving on.

SM, your coast down there I imagine did very well with offering a good variety of conditions. I also imagine that town, and beyond, did as well up here with offering the mix. Mavs footage from Sat looks like it was not the crispest of swells up here on the open coast. That westerly direction, tho, pushes a lot of energy into the bay. Water has been way warm up here as well. Hope things don't stay too cozy tho, otherwise you get those beaters who are afraid of the cold starting to cunt up the threads.

Grabbed two, three pics from Middles last week. Will post those some day.

I snapped my board last Saturday which kind of forced my hand with getting a new board. Decided to go new and got a Pyzalien. 5 10 x 19.5 x 2.4. 5 fin setup and a lot of volume in the nose so hopefully can ride it year round.

Will be surfing it for the first time tomorrow night. Can't wait!

[Sagacity]

nice lookin board. looks versatile.
