Fish

Surf: 2.0 ft at 15.4 s at 231° SW

This morning’s waves were small and clean, great for some longboard practice. We found a spot working away from the main group and nabbed plenty of fun ones. I worked on my cross step a little and mostly enjoyed the sunshine.

The water was clear enough I could see a school of pretty good sized fish go by. Normally I see small fish like anchovies or sardines, fish in the 6″ range. These guys were a good foot. It was really cool to see them zipping along in the wave I was riding.

I told the fisherman on the beach that I saw a big school, just over there, and he laughed “None of them are biting!”

Meanwhile, up at Ocean Beach, there were much, much bigger fish out and about. This juvenille’s splashing around was caught on the Surfline cam. Pretty cool!
