Yay! We’re here!
After a long, round-about path from Ventura to San Onofre, we finally made it. Big thanks to our camp mates from Sunset Shapers, who got in last night and already had camp set up. We hit the water first thing for a lovely sunset session. The waves are small to medium, but so far pretty clean and fun!
Surf: 1.0 ft at 18.2 s from the S.

It’s surf luau time!
CG and I loaded up another Lost Campers’ van and headed south. This van’s name is Gilly. (Lost Campers names the vans, not us!) With the oil spill, there were very few places in the Santa Barbara-Ventura area to camp. Luckily, a friend of Chris’s offered up his driveway in Goleta. I’m still worked on a drawing or painting to thank them for letting us stay. It was a HUGE help and we got to hit up some Ventura surf spots on the way down.
The surf forecast for the week has been hard to read. Surfline said flat, but we found a small, long-period swell in the water that was certainly rideable and actually pretty fun.
Most of the waves were small, but long. Somehow I managed to pick off the larger waves for some really great rides. Since it wasn’t very consistent, I was totally shocked that these waves rolled my way. Yeeehew.
