Anyone else get some today...?

Didn't make it out to the outside of the first pic on Tuesday. Serious fucking juice.

I'm not about to paddle out for a solo session with 30 minute lulls while the men in grey are cruising around

You never called; so I went skiing. Seriously though, the men in grey are rarely interested.

Based on that pic, I imagine Scotts was roping. If I can get enough work done this morning, I might be able to sneak a session in.

This week was fucking rad. Just big and perfect. I've flown halfway around the world to score the tropical version of those waves and here they are right here except it's cold as fuck.

The stiff offshores made every late takeoff blind. Nothing like dropping down a 10-12' face by Braille.

Paddle outs ranged from 10 min to 45 min. Also got some of the longest holddowns I've had in awhile.

Sorry I'll program your cell. I thought you were still in Gnarnia I took the 9'6 rhino chaser out and realized I couldn't duckdive it. 10-12'+ OB is not the ideal place to get a new board wired.

I could have used that gun this past week in hanalei.

NB totally blew this evening. Got a bunch of waves and one that was a real race all the way through the inside. Trying to decide between a day break high tide session up north, or a dropping tide run on west cliff. Low tide was money this evening. No one out except for 500 or so of my closest friends.

[supermodel159]

Almost a +7 on my way into work this morning, not much showing...full moon tonight, crazy tides. Heard yesterday was amazing, as I sat in my office the entire day.

[ninjamartin]

so this august i moved from the sf bay to colorado for school... i am a surfer/skier so i had to choose between the 2...

worst part of my decision: the swells out here are usually pretty flat
best part of my decision: the mountains are quite the opposite

Just got in from Scotts. It is not small, with the big sets rolling in every 20-30 minutes. I was on a 7'6" and honestly wish I had my bigger board for the sets. But, hey, I am out of shape and old. No wind, solid swell. The AM should be interesting.

Only had my crappy P&S, and at this distance, quality suffers.


It looked overhead, but not huge, so I felt pretty good about the mini gun.


Today reminded me of the poster who thinks SC is full of crowded worthless waves. 6 guys out. 10' plus faces. Not a whiff of wind.

[Ottime]

Yesterday morning was less than huge, but still plenty of swell along the coast. Scotts had the usual Saturday crowd of 20+ folks. Faces were in the 10' plus range.


Found a good vantage point to watch this pair tow a few thick ones. Not huge, but I know this spot to be heavy. Like a house falling on you.



This other spot we had to ourselves for about two hours. Plenty to go around between friends.


Then a crew of 12 showed up.


So we split and took a few pics before grabbing some lunch.

I don't know about the ret of you folks on the west coast, but I had a few solid weeks surfing. Little to no wind and long period swell every day. Tuesday this last week was the poorest with merely 14 second periods, head high and a slight jumble. The week ended for me at one of my favorite and more feared slabs in the county. It was a very good day indeed. Wednesday evening was perhaps the highlight, with a great clean overhead incoming long period swell, few out, oil glass, and tide almost perfect. Oh, and it was 72F.

The next morning, I got to this spot just a bit late. A south breeze was beginning to push and the tide dropping out too quickly.


Makes me want a better camera.




Down the coast things were looking fun at the lighthouse.


Plenty of folks out, but not super crowded.




The nice thing, was right behind us, the Monarchs had settled.


And just a shot from after surfing on Tuesday, reminding me life is good.

Left the office early on Friday and scored mid-day Huntington, a couple hundred yards north of the pier, right in front of the hotel, or whatever that thing is. Surfed from 1130-130, several feet overhead, sheet glass. There was a sick right coming in, the lefts were a bit more pick and choose, but really good on the right one. The south side of the pier was absurd, but a bit too crowded, so I went north. There were peaks to be had all up and down the beach.

This has been a great couple of weeks of surf down here. That combined with slushy Mt. Baldy afternoons has made it a good couple of weeks to skip Mammoth.

Last Friday turned out to be pretty decent too, up in this neck of the woods. A bluff scene.


I arrived to a crowd of five. Paddled out and had a good opportunity to find a few select waves.


But with a nice overhead long period swell, no wind and 70F+, the weekend begins early. And the hordes arrived.


There was still enough to go around. You may need wait a bit longer for your turn, but when you get 150 yards of this when you are up, the wait can be worth it.



The outside was working. The inside was working. The whole damn thing was working. A pretty nice swell direction for sure.


With this perfect weather on the way out, this may be the last swell like this we see for a spell. This guy decided to make the most of it.

Very very nice! Wish I was lucky enough to get some of those.

Some of that swell filtered into San Diego on Saturday. Glassy and some punch, best shack of the winter for me so far. Drop in, check it off the top real quick, come around bottom and it started to setup nice. I was dry until the doggy door as it was about close, I didnt need another wave the entire day after that one.

Nice surprise this morning. Almost felt like January out there, but a bit smaller. Looks like we are in for a run of smaller swells, but at least something is out there. Just hope the winds hold off again until the next snow.
