Anyone else get some today...?

Ott,

Interesting to hear that. When we get s and sw there are a ton of spots that break down here. If you guys only get a few, that must lead to some horrible crowds, particularly with the kids out of school.

Fall has good wind and combo swells down here, so it can be really good. Not big like it is for you guys, but lots of fun.

My OB buddy says that there is very consistently swell there, but the issue, like you said, is the wind. He says that during the summer it can be constant for weeks on end.

We've had some fun waves and great weather in farnorcal, trying to get in shape for the surf season. I have a chance to be in Costa Mesa next week and look forward to checking out the OC. Plan to head to Huntington Thur-Sun
I've been reading up and have an idea of what I'm in for, but hoping some local knowledge will ease the transition. What's the chance of finding a relatively empty peak? Sounds like plenty of parking available at the State Park, drive south until you find an open area and get in there? I'm down for dawn patrol, is there a big pre work turnout and lull around 8-9am? How are the winds in fall? Blown out by 11? Any mags want to meet up for a sesh? I'll gladly return the favor if you ever make it to the state of jefferson, ski or surf... Lastly any food recs?
Pretty stoked to get in some warmer water and check the scene, heading to Costa Rica in November and trying to get some laps in to warm up. Thanks!
peace.

^^^ how was today?

LDD, I'll use today as a for instance. As far as fall standards go, today was pretty weak. Three swells, ranging from 4.5@13, 5.5@11 and 7.5@9 converged. Pretty sloppy. Still, my favorite slab was running from head high to a few feet OH. Te best ones were just about head high and would reel on the mid section. A few had fun barrels. But we expect a lot more come a few weeks. Way cleaner. More organized. More size. More power. Etc.

And I imagine today's swells will have little impact south of Pt Conception.

And today is the most fun I've ha since before August. Tomorrow looks fun as well. But mar next weekend we will get a season opener. Today, they just unlocked the gate and let us into the park. Now they need to turn on the rides

Ott,

You are right about this swell missing anywhere south of point conception. It was waist high yesterday, but I had a commitment with the wife so I did not paddle out. I obviously did not miss much, it just would have been nice to get out there. Today is worse, windy, junky, and small. I'm glad to see you guys are getting some up there, because down here things are pretty bad. I didn't see anyone out on the 56th street surf cam, which means it has to be pretty bad.

Calling Strawjack & Rog...It would appear ME is going off, take pictures and post them

Rog, just create an alias, no one will mind

South of Half Moon bay these past 4 days have been fun....endless....

[strawjack]

Ha! I don't think numbnuts rog can even take a pic with his phone! He surfed last night and this AM in Maine. Yesterday morning was it in NH. Today is so nice and clean, just a hair smaller. I'm a loser and kook surfing vicariously thru my boys.

[hooked]

NH was great for the last 2 mornings. Back to being flat by Friday.

Rog couldn't not give himself away even if he worked really really hard. OTOH, if he stayed aways from the rest of the swamp, he might be able to last a a while hiding in here.

Yes it has. Nothing stellar, but, yes, fun. And south swell has returned to being dominant. Today was a fun head high ish. Lots of little barrels made it funner. Looks like various SW pile on top of each other until we maybe get a solid little 260^ from O. Thanks Obama. And then O shift NW for Sunday, and into early next week. Thinking of a few spots that might turn on from this thing. Shacks please.

All these pics are of my youngest. His friend took them. My oldest was around between classes this week also, but no pics of him.
CowHampshire. He is 6' for wave reference.

^^nice

[Ottime]

Those are nice and up close. The Wall? Looks like a plenty fun session.

[strawjack]

Not the wall. Top secret little right Even Rog doesn't know about this one.

[Ottime]

Well, la rog has given up on NH for the grander state to the north.

A buddy of mine I grew up surfing with had a bunch of secret spots in NH he and his buddy surfed. That was about ten years ago. Life, and recovery, has him not in the water so much these days. When he does get out, it tends to be north of York, and only because another buddy of mine drags him out.

A nice run on surf starting on the west coast, and my parents will be out for five days to visit. Perfect timing. Usually when the child care shows up the surf is flat and the snow is firm (or not there). It will be nice to get a moderate swell with clean morning conditions and actually be able to time my paddle outs. Here is hoping that the black hole will open up on this swell Saturday.

i spotted the Rog One at his home break tues and weds, it was good.
