Entry 013 - Bumpy and Choppy

Not even worth it today.  I should have known since most of the regulars were nowhere to be found. From the parking lot it looked good and I hurried up to get out for a quick session but when I got in and paddled out, the surf turned bumpy and at some points there were even small whitecaps. Tide was going down and the surf was mixed at best. Hard to really catch much on the longboard unless you got lucky.  I wasn't the only one... a few others got out right after I did and called it a day.

Weather: 60 deg, Overcast

Conditions: Bumpy, Choppy, Might Have Been Consistent (if not for the chop)

Waves Caught: Fat Zero

Sea Life: Nothing
Sea Temp: 59 deg

Entry 007 - Whales and Paddling

Well, skipped out on San O' this weekend and opted to stay in the South Bay.  Thought the surf was going to be better in Porto.  Not so much.  Not that it was bad, but I just wasn't feeling it.  Cold, long periods that ended up either weak or walled.  Of course, the fact that I haven't been out in two weeks didn't help.  It was really crowded too (everyone was itching to get out after the small week) and the current pushed me from 40th street to almost the jetty in 20 minutes.  Tried to catch a few but had little luck.  Hoping tomorrow will be better.  I think the time change did me in too. Waking up before the sun is tough enough on workdays.  Here's hoping for a better St. Patty's Day session!

Weather: 54 deg, Dense Overcast

Conditions: Long Periods,  Weak and then Walled, Crowded

Waves Caught: 1 (kinda)

Sea Life: Dolphins (4), Whales (2, in the distance)
