Entry 282 - Mid-Week

Looked at the camera this morning and just had to get out considering it looks like the weekend is gonna be big and closed out at Porto. One of these days I need to get up to Malibu or surf PV Cove. I'm just a creature of habit though and really enjoy Porto's convenience.

Surf today wasn't as great as Monday. Longer waits and smaller surf. Water is still warm!!

Weather: 67 deg, Sunny

Conditions: Glassy, Fun, Knee to Thigh High

Waves Caught: 5

Sea Life: Nothing
Sea Temp: 73 deg

SurfExplorer has been down - WTF!

Entry 281 - Relaxing Ocober

Nice glassy session today with knee to thigh high surf. Good to get out on a Monday before work. Keep me centered for the week. I can't believe it's October and I'm still in my trunks! In previous years I'd be in my wetsuit and the water would be approaching 65 deg. Man, I'm lucky. Caught all kinds of nice surf today and headed into the office to start the week.

Weather: 67 deg, Sunny

Entry 280 - So Close!

Manhattan Beach had some sort of run going on today and I guess with the surf being so crappy this past week everyone and their brother needed to get out this morning. El Porto parking lot was packed at 7am so I had to park at the corner lot and go for a walk.

Surf was really fun this morning with some good shape every once in a while but mostly walled up stuff and long waits. I ended up catching 2 unforgettable rights, the second of which broken right at my head! If I had only ducked down a little bit it would have been a barrel!!! Maybe next time.

Weather: 64 deg, Sunny

Conditions: Glassy, Walled Up, Waist to Shoulder High, Crowded

Waves Caught: 6+

Sea Life: Nothing
Sea Temp: 73 deg
