Fun, warm, sunny day. Now with whales!

REGIONAL OVERVIEW: The surf is looking fun this afternoon as NW swell and S Southern Hemi energy back out. Better breaks are still seeing knee-waist-chest high waves with some shoulder high+ sets making it through standouts. Conditions remain clean this afternoon, with some fun, peaky surf on tap with racy/lined-up corners, especially through the inside.

82 and Sunny.

Nice clean mellow surf at Pacifica today. Great compliment to the 80+ degree weather and sunshine.

I got in a few clean runs. I saw a whale. I chatted up some folks in the lineup. I worked on my awesome wet suit tan.
All around fun.

Flying Blind in the Fog

Conditions: Foggy. 4-6 ft with some 8ft standouts. Short swell period. Clearner in the morning, crumbly but harsh by noon.

Wow. I’ve never been out on a day so foggy. I couldn’t see the lineup from the shore. Swell period was so short and with low tide on the way we opted to walk the boards out instead of paddle and pick off whitewater and reform waves on the inside.

We got a bunch of fun quick rides that way. I practiced some right hand turns.

Pizza and beer was definitely a highlight after battling that mess. I’ve never had such an intense leg workout surfing! I’m looking forward to Monday’s S hemi swell and 85 degree temps. Who’s in? 😀

Surfing with Veronica!

Conditions: 2-4 ft. – knee to shoulder high and fair+ conditions. Clean/glassy lines with some fun pick and choose corners.

Amazing day today. Clean waves, good sets, mellow paddle out. The weather was BEAUTIFUL and the waves were just as nice. Veronica and I scored some great rides and the experienced longboarders out there were noseriding and cross stepping to their heart’s content.

After a few solid hours or good rides and great fun, we snagged some cheesy breadsticks and beer in the sunshine.
Great day!
