Entry 123 - Paddle Day


Was hoping for some fun stuff but I had a feeling from the parking lot that it was gonna be inconsistent and closey-outy with only the occasional rideable stuff. Brought my Brog Egg too which might have been too short for today. Lot's of paddling and the semi-catchable sets often walled up. There is still a channel in the water about 50 yds out which doesn't help either. On the brighter side of things, I saw something pretty weird today that looked a lot like a ships wake coming in. There was about 2-3 sets that washed in with a perfect 45 deg angle to the shore and broken up. Nothing worth riding but beautiful nonetheless.

Conditions: Chest to Shoulder High, Glassy, Inconsistent, Closey-Outy, Mixed
Waves Caught: Nothing
Sea Life: Nothing

Entry 122 - Low Tide


Not as good as Thursday and Friday but dawn patrol was still fun. The low tide drained everything out and made for jumbled, closey-outy surf. Crowded of course but friendly lineup. Saw a sea lion under the water that caught me off guard at first. Caught two nice lefts between long waits for something good and rideable on the longboard. Here's hoping that the bottom keeps filling in from the winter and the surf stays fun for a while!


Weather: 55 deg, Partly Cloudy
Conditions: Knee to Chest High, Glassy, Inconsistent, Fun, Crowded, Closey-Outey
Waves Caught: 2
Sea Life: Sea Lion (1)
Sea Temp: 59 deg

Entry 121 - Still Cold But Fun!


Got out again today for a quick session before work. Glassy again with fun sets rolling in. The sand has started to fill back in from the winter swells making the rides longer and the surf less walled off and closed out. Wish I could have stayed on my board for another 2 hours it was that nice. Still cold but it's been such a long time!! One really nice left and a right that brought me back to shore made the short session all worth it.


Weather: 62 deg, Partly Cloudy
Conditions: Knee to Chest High, Glassy, Consistent, Fun, Crowded, Cold!
Waves Caught: 3
Sea Life: Nothing
Sea Temp: 58 deg
