    6/4-6/6 Surf Report

    Things are setting up nicely for the next 4 days. We have a considerable swell out the Southern Hemisphere streaking for the Southern California coast. This system isn't that big (in terms of wave height) but looks great in terms of consistency. Top South spots should hit a couple feet overhead and any break with a peek at the South should reap some benefits as well. Thursday and Friday will be the top producing days. If everything goes as planned we should see some nice sets by Thursday morning and it will continue to build through the day. The weather looks excellent,the early morning winds have been offshore early, yet tempermental later in the morning. Breezes out of the South have been coming up around 9:00Am. Not exactly wreaking havoc, but just putting enough texture on the surface to spoil the perfect conditions. Early morning minus tides could hurt the shape for the early riser but things should improve as the tide fills in around mid-morning. The water temps for the South Bay are in the mid to high 60's and with this push from the South should continue with this warming trend.

    Saturday, although the South swell will take a slight dip in size, will still produce plenty of chest to head high waves with a few bigger sets at the top breaks. We're also anticipating some short period wind swell to jump into the mix. Best combo breaks will see some nice, peaky waves, but the true South facing beaches will probably be a bit cleaner
    Bingo.

    I have mastered all major sporting activities to a high degree of mediocrity.

    I heard, I'm pissed, I'm stuck here, I'm a loser.
    Gave up on the bottle, give me the lobotomy.

    All I have to say is today was goooooood!

    1-2 foot over head with occasional 3 foot overhead on biggest swells. Much better shape that the bigger swell a month or so ago. No wind to speak of even at 11. Spent from 7:30 - 11 in the water. now my elbow is fucked.

    Going to surf all day tomorrow in Capo.

    just go into the office.

    got home from work last night to solid, very heavy and thik, 6-7 foot faces breaking 100 yards wide at once. kaBOOM! i stayed out of the water and opted to watch guys getting the smack knocked out of 'em by the clean ups.

    hit topanga this morning for a few hours. high tide and a little bumpy but super fun. i almost ran over a chick on her boogie board, almost "shored" it a few times and realized as i pulled up that i had forgotten wax and a comb. i assume that riding a 6'6" 'slick' board will make me better.

    should be fun again tomorrow.

    Just got out of the water. 5 hours of surf today. Swell is dieing and is now very inconsistent. Had a 1 hour lull this evening. When it comes it is fun.

    skipped saturday (sorry pu!)

    sunday, got out to topanga at 5:45. already 8 guys on it, including ron jay from the zephyr team.

    super low tide, 2-3 with occasional 4's. done before 8 and the crowds. back to venice. back in the water for another hour as the wind didn't fully kill it. i don't think i lifted a finger for the rest of the day.
