Watched the sunset from Pipe/Backdoor/OTW last night, sitting on my couch now. Swear to god, every time I leave town the swell gets epic(not that it wasn't good on The NS). Pics to follow from the 808.

Some very clear pics of the north coast from Thanksgiving. I can't link them, but some of them are pretty nice. This is from this photogs first day of shooting surf. He was out there again today, but he isn't going to post until next week.

We are still on this run of swell. Could not be happier considering the lack of snow coverage. Next 5 days look fine as well.
And I got a good omen today.

Once a year my favorite board breaks. Considerably. This board is hammered. But I put her back together again every summer. When she breaks, Fall is coming to a close. This would be the fifth year.
I consider an obliterated tail as considerable damage, so Winter must be near.
OB was tasty tonight. saw a guy get a rocket ship +200 yard right on the north side. waves were peeling in good and the sunset was ridic.
ob was really good this AM - wind picked up and shifted a bit around 11 and we were done by 12 but still looked great all along the beach on our way out

Got to ride Ganjas today. Always a rare event. I like to think of days like this as burger barrels.
Tomorrow is looking to pick back up a bit toward Friday's swell - perhaps a bit smaller. More offshores...
Gonzo - call if you head south. We are heading north around 8ish. Perhaps gazos for empty barrels
ended up going for a ride with the wife up at tamarancho today - looks like OB was good before the wind picked up.

how was gazos?
Never made it to Gazos. Report from guys heading south on the road was that the winds were blowing NW up there early, and then the eddy around Ano was blowing off shore around Waddel. We surfed the north end of the reef. Fast, thick lefts. Worked well for about an hour, then the wind came up.
The nice thing was the crowd left and my buddy and I still got another hour as conditions deteriorated. So nice to be going left...
Today looks not so good with winds already. Maybe I will bike...
8@14 for tomorrow AM...
What angle?Quote:
