Clear Water

2014-SCHK-04-09

Surf: 5.9 ft at 13.8 s from the WNW at 297°. High tide. No wind.

Headed south for a pre-client meeting surf.

Wow. The water was SO clear and dark. I saw lots of little fish. There were crabs, sea anemones, kelp, all kinds of things to look at.

Up at the surface, the grey skies and grey water were about as smooth as can be which made wave hunting a little exciting. (I think that’s a wave? Oh yep, it’s a wave.)

The spot I picked was perfect for grabbing scrappy little waves no one else wanted. I worked on some swishing, a little stepping, but mostly tried to squeeze every little bit out of these small waves. Got into a pretty good loggy groove.

Had a leisurely morning with breakfast, a cafe stop, and ice cream.
