Short Surf and Swim

2015-LM-08-23

Surf: 3.6 ft at 9.1 s from the NW at 318°.

Hit the beach for a quick surf and swim with CG and the girls. The surf was a little rideable, so I caught a few waves while they played in the shallows. After a couple waves, I headed in to swim around with them, too. Managed to even get one on my surfboard to float around for a while! Not bad for a short session. 🙂

Surf: 3.3 ft at 9.1 s from the NW at 314°.

Finally got a surf in. The waves were thankfully small and forgiving (but still fun!) Nice to see everyone and catch up. SO many boats, birds, and whales out. Seems like some fish are on the move.

Salt Soak

Surf: 4.3 ft at 10.8 s from the WNW at 288°.

I snuck out from work early to head to the beach. Unfortunately the surf was closed out and pretty choppy, but I had been out of the ocean for far too long so I jumped in for a little bodysurfing. Nice to be salty again.

Once back from my Canada trip, I spent the following week out of the ocean catching up on all the work I’d missed. Thankfully I had a birthday trip planned to Calistoga for a relaxing weekend soaking in mineral water and mud.

This was a pretty luxurious trip. Bike rides, amazing food, water, mud, sun, and wine. Wow. What a wonderful birthday weekend. 😀
