Calmer winds

Surf: 3.3 ft at 14.8 s from the SW at 217°.

This morning was much better. The waves were smooth, the winds were light, and it started to rain while I was out there. I’ve missed the rain.

My back is still killing me, but I’ve got an appointment with a Chiro next week. Doc says my SI joint is inflamed so I’d be willing to bet there’s lots of stretching in my future. Whatever I can do to patch up before San O!

Howling Wind

Surf: 3.3 ft at 12.9 s from the W at 262°. Sudden gusts to 25+ mph.

I agree with Sticker. That was not cool.

I suited up, the surf looked passable, but by the time I’d walked down to the beach the wind went from a light breeze to gale force winds. By the time I’d finished chasing down a few wind-torn closeouts, my face was beat red and completely windburnt.

And, of course, as I packed up my gear, the wind calmed back down and the waves smoothed out again. Ahh, surfing. 🙂
