Headed to the outer Ano reefs? Spoooooky.

No, the Cape

I was just north of this when it happened. 4 Years ago had it happen about 80' in front of me, and I made a hasty retreat.

**Flea** · 09-16-2016, 08:45 PM

Yikes

Must suck to wear a thick wetsuit and deal with great whites at the same time..... oh ya back on topic... nice surf ,water 82... perfect offshore tradewinds and fresh avacado tuna poke for dinner.

Yeah I was out right at Pacheco when this happened apparently, had no idea though until it all of a sudden became national news. Surf's been okay, lot of people out though. Hopefully news like this keeps kooks like me on dry land.

Interested to see what this swell Sun-Tues has in store.

Scored Colorados yesterday. What a wave. Biggest, burliest, barrellingist wave I've ever paddled out for. Happy to pick off a few scraps and not get too thrashed.
Getting on a boat in an hour to check lances left and playgrounds, a long point that should be super fun with this swell.
It's amazing to be in a place where it's possible to surf all day long. Popoyo works on all tides and it has been calm to light offshores all day.
There was a big rain a few nights ago which blew out the river mouth and made a wave that has only appeared once or twice in the last 20 years. A crazy fun left barrel that my buddy spied and was the first to get on. This place is pretty rad, might have to make it an annual trip.

**Ottime** · 09-18-2016, 01:53 PM

Best travel places have offshore or light winds all day. I don't bother going on surf thrips that blow out in the afternoon. Did that in Panama once and drank too much rum under a waterfall.

Not much this morning on the reefs. Bet the beaches were better. Painted trim instead and saved it for Mon-Tues; fewer folks out and more swell filled in. Might be an opener.

Got in a few sessions this week. Nothing great but worth it to get in the water. Chest high can be fun in Newport. The water is not as warm as last year but I can't complain about a spring suit.

**Ottime** · 09-19-2016, 07:25 PM

The ledge was excellent today. Shared it with one other for the first hour. He was on the left and I on the right. Then there more. Plenty to go around. Nice early season ledge session.

**whitekingsalmon** · 09-20-2016, 12:55 PM

Beautiful session this morning with a bunch of friends.... everyone taking turns getting shacked and lots of hooting and playful spraying each other... these are days that I remember... gotta love being with friends and enjoying glassy morning surf. 3 hours out this morning. Skype meeting soon then lunch and another paddle out with more friends... life is better in boardshorts.

My kid got lucky as the kids two doors down are surfers and are local or have local connections which equals car access! He's surfed twice already in 3 days.

Ledge West side?

**Long duc dong** · 09-21-2016, 01:43 PM

Orange County is pumping. Hopefully I can get out this evening if the wind holds off. I hope the rest of you California folks are getting some.

**Ottime** · 09-21-2016, 10:35 PM

^^^^is that the cane swell? The NW has settled here. Have not looked for the tropi. Might take a gander in the morning. Is it filling in wider than expected?

About ten miles north of town. There is not really any juice in town until the real swells hit. They are going to blow your kid's mind. This last NW barely showed in town, but west, north and OB got a touch of fall. Barely. It topped out around 5.5@15.

Stoked for you son getting a quick hookup to the surf. Let me know if he needs anything and I'll see if I can help.

Southern Hemi arrive later tomorrow.

Nice! Yeah, he is going to be blown away for sure. It's definitely going to take some time to adjust, but at 18yrs old what a time to do so!

Thanks for the offer. Next time I head out there I'll contact you and maybe we can meet for a beer. I was only in town for two days last week and it was a junkshow of running around and moving him in etc.

That was the cane swell on Wednesday. Now we have so southern hemi in the water and things are looking good. I should get out later today, and definitely this weekend.

Ott, according to surfline you guys are getting some up there. Hope you get to get out and enjoy it.

**whitekingsalmon** · 09-23-2016, 02:45 PM

Turkeytown.... consistent head high, double overhead sets... water low 80s

**Ottime** · 09-23-2016, 07:52 PM

Yeah, the southern Hemi hit solid this morning. A little bit between sets, but nice solid 20s beast.

Strawjack, tell your son to chase this one tomorrow. All of town will be good. Mitchell's on west cliff for sure. All of Pleasure. Crowded for sure in town.

**ate'em** · 09-23-2016, 10:05 PM

south swell juice looking good in malibu today. wind wrecking hell on the water surface, but the deep swell at the points doesnt care too much.

it's so nice to see fat bumps gliding across the ocean. fat bumps of fun. surfs up bitches!

**Ottime** · 09-24-2016, 01:11 PM

The thump thump brought out the crowds this morning. Heard the lane was less crowded than shitty point today. Inversions.

Looking forward to Mondays NW.

**stanmarsh** · 09-24-2016, 09:03 PM

Had class in Sunnyvale this morning so decided to check a few spots north of Santa Cruz 'round mid day. Found solid overhead uncrowded hollow beach break for about 2 hours before the wind came up. Starting to look more and more like that whole fall thing everyone keeps talking about.
