Thursday Evening: C Street

2016-VNC-06-23pm

Surf: 2.3 ft at 16.7 s from the S at 184°. Breezy.

After a nap back at the campsite, we headed back to C street where the wind was up again. With the wind up, I’ve been wearing my hood to keep my ears dry. I look like a dork, but better than making my surfer’s ear worse.

People at C street were really friendly. No weird looks paddling out all bundled up and everyone was cheering each other on. I think part of it has to do with all the people standing on the shore grumbling about how they thought it’d be better rather than paddline out, but the rest was genuine stoke.

I got a couple bigger waves and a guy was clapping and cheering. I was howling for a couple kids on shortboards who were killing it. Oh man it was fun. I almost don’t want to keep on driving south.

Hit up Lure for dinner and demolished another large delicious meal. We haven’t bought provisions yet so we’re hitting up some great restaurants until we hit the final camping spot. So far this trip’s had good waves, good camping, good food, and good company. Super stoked.

Thursday Morning: C Street

Surf: 2.0 ft at 18.2 s from the S at 186°. Low tide and incoming. Glassy.

I was slow to get moving this morning, but tried my best to rally as we were meeting Derek at C Street at 6:30.

Pulling up, the surf looked so fun. Super smooth and much better shape from the evening before. Oh man it was nice. Sure, some waves took some paddling to chance down, but overall it was a perfect june gloomy surfy morning.

It was great to catch up with Derek. We got a couple fun party waves in plus plenty of nice ones for both him and Chris.

After Derek headed off to work, we hit up Pete’s Breakfast House. I wolfed down a waffle, potatoes, eggs, and sausage like it was nothing. What a solid post-surf “Yes I’m going to eat all of this so double the bacon” spot.

We hit up County Line after. That place was big. The swell was cutting in just right that it was well overhead and just slamming shut on the inside. Between the whomp and the food coma, I decided to just watch. People were tearing it up out there. Yew.

I bet it’s already huge down in San O and only getting bigger. 😮
