Surf: Offshore. 4.9 ft at 10.0 s from WNW at 302°
Wow. I was not expecting this at all. Not only was the wind off shore, but the waves were working. Good size, nice long waves. Wow.
Of course, in typical Lindy style it was packed to the gills. I’m not yet comfortable with sitting inside so every wave felt like a firing squad. It didn’t help that in trying to avoid being the the way, I got squarely in the way over and over. John nearly hit me, Mike nearly hit me, dozens of strangers nearly hit me. Yeeow.
I guess it’s good duck diving practice? (Although a failed duck dive resulted in me turning my eyelids inside out. Ow)
I managed to get a few waves, but man did that take effort.
There was a cameraman in the water. I’m pretty sure half his roll is me *not* getting the wave. Ahh well. That’s me in the bottom photo, trying to see in the morning sun.
I got a few drops to remember out of the morning and got to see friends get some really nice ones. 🙂
