Sunny Small Wave Day at Ocean Beach
SURF: 2-3 ft.+ knee to chest high and fair conditions.
This morning’s dawn patrol: Small, semi-clean lines in the waist-chest high range the occasional workable section.
Inconsistent, low energy waves this afternoon. I managed to pick off one nice ride from all the mush. Big score today was in sunshine. When we got to the beach [...]

One more Sunset Sesh before Daylight Savings
SURF: 1-3ft. Inconsistent, but clean.
Headed back down to Santa Cruz with Luke and Cynthia to get in one last sunset session before the time changes. Waves were pretty inconsistent, but the sunset was beautiful and the moonlight on the waves made the couple of waves I did catch something special.
Stealing these pics from [...]

Taking out the Shortboard
SURF: 3-4 ft. + waist to shoulder high with occasional 6 ft. and poor-fair conditions.
Apartment hunting had put me in a pretty rotten mood and after failing to catch a wave on Tuesday I opted for an early morning with the new shortboard. I was trying to practice duck diving and paddling to get [...]

Sneaking in Some Tuesday Waves
SURF: 2-4 Ft. A little disorganized, building in size as the swell starts to come in.
My project team was in meetings all morning so I was able to sneak in a few extra hours of surfing before heading in to the office. It was surprisingly crowded for a non-dawn patrol Tuesday. Between the crowds and [...]

Small Days at Kelly’s Cove
SURF: 2-3 ft knee to waist high and fair conditions.
This morning’s dawn patrol: Clean, scattered lines getting up around waist high. It’s fairly small-scale, but definitely rideable this morning.
Waves this weekend were looking pretty small up and down the coast. I met up with Cryptomail to spend a little time on my Stewart at [...]

Getting the Board Back Out
SURF: 2-3 ft.+ knee to chest high and fair conditions.
This morning’s dawn patrol: Glassy, mostly closed out lines on offer this morning. Again, it’s looking like the best corners are making it through the inside.
Made it out for another early morning. I’d figured a nice small day would be a good day to take my [...]

Shortboard Dawn Patrol at Ocean Beach
Surf: 3-5 ft. waist to head high and poor-fair conditions.
This morning’s dawn patrol: Slightly jumbled, crossed-up peaks on offer this morning. Looking a bit more disorganized than yesterday, with a few rideable corners still making it through at times.
I have never surfed on a shortboard and I have never surfed at Ocean Beach. Shortboards are [...]
