Anyone else get some today...?

[dfinn]

Mostly flat with some waist to chest high this morning at the point @ san O. Wouldn't really say I "got some" but I was out there. Around through sat, beers on me if anyone is around.

Fun an lumpy spring time swell out there today. Long, slow, warp pets running just a touch overhead today. Starting to get my arms back. Hope this run of pseudo swell continues.

Ott, what suit are you wearing this time of year?

[Ottime]

I have a 2yr old rip curl e-bomb 4/3. It would be super warm if still new, but it has lots leaks. And boots.

Been a little cooler recently with upwelling, but it was a super warm winter. Never bothered pulling out the hooded Patagucci R3.

In short, basic middle of line 4/3 almost year round. Something slightly beefier for really cold winter days, especially when on the guns and you might be sitting for a whole.

3/2s are fine for the town in summer in typical years.

Right on, thanks

Anything showing down south yet?

[PowerWhore7]

There has been some fun peaky surf the last couple days but nothing special yet...I am loading up the rig and heading south to la playa for this swell. Will post up what I find when I get back

[Ottime]

Yeah, been plenty of sizable Windswell up this way this past week from 6-12'@8-12s. I'm looking for the souths that are headed this way

[Ottime]

South is showin solid up here. Too bad there is still some 4-5'@10-11s from the NW out there. The 4@25 south yesterday is just what greydog wants but not so much the wind swell coming across it. Town and the points I imagine were pretty damn nice even with the SW eddy. But even the crappy spot no one surfs had 15 cars at it. Ended up at a shore pounds beach break. A lot was just closed out, but when the cross up worked properly my three best barrels of the year were scored. Holy fucking pits. Speaking of which, anyone happen to crack out Fullers yesterday?

Just got back last night. My son brought his board and we stopped at quite a few known breaks on the way up the coast. SB area was pretty flat, but moving on up to Pismo there was some decent chest/head coming thru. Over at Morrow it was pretty heavy, easily dbl overhead for EC standards. Saw a couple guys ripping the shit out of it. Spent the night in big sur, but didn't look at any breaks. Got to SC and he hit the Hook which was pretty small, but fun. The next morning he went for his first ever session at Steamers and had a blast. Some head high sets came thru and it was forecasted to build thru the day. There was a young girl out there just tearing it up and I later found out her name is Eden Edwards from this guy taking pics http://www.santacruzwaves.com/galler.../#!prettyPhoto . She was pissed as some dude dropped in on her...no bueno! My son was in awe of her. The photog posted up one pic of him also. He did not surf well (his words) as I think he was a little intimidated.
We went back out in the evening and there were significantly bigger sets coming in and the guy in the red suit was by far the best surfer I've ever seen and we think it was Nat Young. I snapped one shitty phone pic on his last ride, but it was really cool to see a guy of his caliber just free surfing.

Shit. Didn't know you were in town. Let me know next time and I'll take your son out to some lesser known breaks. Plenty of uncrowded surf to be had. It was empty up the coast Saturday afternoon. I surfed solo on a bowly left hand reef.
