Surf: 3.9 ft at 10.8 s from WNW at 288°. Incoming tide.
I’m sooo out of practice for closeouts. Given that closeouts are often the only thing Linda Mar has to offer, I’m usually fine to throw myself into them for a while. It’s a game of chicken with gravity that sometimes has hilarious results.
This summer was pretty mellow so I didn’t spend the whole thing groveling in the wash like I normally do. As a result, I’m skittish. I don’t want to paddle for a wave about to slam shut.
After passing on wave after wave, I finally got a few little corners to ride including a really fun ankle slapper of a wave in for the day. Guess closeout jumping is something else I’ll need to work on.
