Entry 326 - Day 4 (Board Meeting #2)

Another board meeting this morning but a tad earlier. I was running late so I had to meet Art, Doug, and Brian in the water. Same as yesterday in terms of swell. Once high tide made its way to the beach, the waves just disappeared and I almost had to do the paddle of shame. Luckily, I caught a straggler on the way in.

Note to self: The 26th St. shower sucks!

Entry 325 - Day 3 (Board Meeting)

Dawn patrol board meeting this morning. Much bigger than yesterday and more fun. Paddle out was pretty easy and the lefts just kept coming. If you caught a good one you could ride it down the beach a few blocks! Fun at a board meeting with Doug. Gotta keep it up!

Entry 324 - Day 2 (GoPro)

Decided to bring the GoPro out with the mouth mount today. Looked like I was going to be able to get a lot of good shots. Turns out the mouth mount just doesn't give me the shots that I'm looking for. Maybe I'm not facing the right direction or maybe the mount just doesn't work like I hoped. Swell is a little bigger and steeper today.

Entry 323 - So It Begins

And so it begins... the SW swell seems to be in the forecast for much of the next week and I'm gonna try and make it out as often as I can. It was a good start to the week too. Water's warm and nice lefts and rights.

Entry 322 - Saturday Session

Pretty much a repeat of yesterday but I chose an old wetsuit instead of trunks this time which made it more comfortable. Didn't catch anything today though. Maybe it was just an off day for me but it was long waits, lots of paddling to get into position, and big sets that would come through to clear out the lineup. Easy paddle out like yesterday but just wasn't feeling it.

Weather: 64 deg, Cloudy

Conditions: Chest to Head High, Fat, Glassy

Entry 321 - Cold Trunks

No Pic Today

Southwest swell has been showing most of the week and I wanted to get out after my trip to the east coast for work. Easy paddle out but the surf was a bit walled up at times. I took my time and caught my one beauty for the session. No complaints.

Wore my trunks again and regretted it. With it being overcast, it was just too cold.

Weather: 60 deg, Overcast

Conditions: Chest to Head High, Bumpy, Thick, Dumpy

Entry 320 - Lunchtime Session (Trunk Time)

Got out for a lunch session today with some folks from work and had a great time. Guys at work I didn't even know surfed had a good time and we even got some newbies in the water. Sand was crazy hot! I think I slightly burned my feet. Got to do the lunchtime session more often now that summer is almost here!

Entry 317 - Getting Warmer

Water is consistently warming up. Just the need sun to start peaking out in the mornings to warm up the air. Good pre-work surf session with corners. Need to get back into updating this blog more often.

Entry 316 - Sunday Funday

Cool breeze on a Sunday morning with bumpy, weak surf to boot. Caught a couple - even a rare right. Thinking if the sun was out I could have worn my trunks. Wishing the sun would show itself.

Entry 315 - Competition and Fog

Got out this morning before my wife heads on a trip to central California for tonight. Wasn't expecting it to be this foggy! And, there's a competition going on. Saw the judges sitting almost where the waves were lapping the shore. Good session overall even if it was a little soft.

Entry 314 - TGIF

No Pic Today

Thank God it's Friday! What a crazy week with real crappy swell. Today was fun though and got to go out with the crew. Some good sets in between lots of waiting. Most memorable wave was the one I missed because Doug got into my head!
