AM Doublesun
Surf: Waist high, mellow, clean waves. Warm sun. I couldn’t really sleep. It happens. When Chris checked in to ask about a dawn patrol I was up watching a documentary on netflix trying to fall back to sleep. Man, was I happy I dragged myself out of bed. Warm sun, blue sky, friendly folks. Saw [...]

Flat and Dark
Surf: Ankle to Knee high and dark We sort of got a jump on the sun this morning. Spent a little bit sitting in the parking lot in the dark watching hints of whitewater barely breaking and listening to NPR. Sunrise didn’t find conditions to be much better than in the dark. 4 of us [...]

Funky morning
Surf: Knee high and junky. Not every surf session can be awesome. This one was pretty meh. Tide was too low, waves were closed out. All and all a disorganized mess. However it was a very successful “get up WAY earlier than normal to paddle out at 6am” attempt. I got up way earlier and [...]

Another nice little morning
Surf: More knee to waist high waves. Occasional chest high. Pretty clean. Yep, more little waves. Another nice morning out. Definitely takes patience and a lot of foam to get waves in the summer. I have both.

Nice little morning
Surf: Knee/Waist high with a few chest high waves. One thing I love about summer is these small wave mornings is most folks sleep in allowing me to camp out on a tiny little peak and pick off tiny little waves to my heart’s content. I’ve taken the side bites off my 9’4 to try [...]

Rough Morning
Surf: Shifty poorly formed closeouts. Waist to Shoulder high waves. Choppy, sloppy. My first day back in the water after two weeks in dry dock. Unexpected trip home and the week of work to recover from it. Chris and I cruised the coast trying to find something worthwhile to surf. The jetty wasn’t breaking, the [...]

Small Summer
Surf:This morning’s dawn patrol: Glassy, peaky, weak lines with soft/gutless corners to the beach.. I pulled up to the lot two spot two surfers giving up trying to catch tiny little peeling waves. I love tiny little peeling waves so I took over their watch and paddled out. I spent the first two waves bobbing [...]

Glassy Morning
Surf: 3-4ft with 5ft standouts. Glassy, mostly walled-up lines with a few workable corners through the inside. Nice warm little morning at Linda Mar. The sun managed to work it’s way through the thick fog and the waves were holding up pretty nicely. Chris and I managed to find ourselves with our own little peak [...]

Lightning, Thunder, and Rainbows
Surf: 2-4ft. Inconsistent and soft on the low tide, picked up as the tide came back. Fun, but storming morning in Pacifica. Driving rain, thunder and lightning, slightly jumbled waves. Surprisingly, the waves weren’t that bad. Caught quite a few before my hands were so frozen my thumbs were opposed to being opposable. Great rainbow [...]

Slosh Patrol
Surf: Mixed up, 2-4ft waves with 5-6ft occasional standouts. Very sloppy, inconsistent and hard to catch. Early morning waves were looking pretty messy. Paddled out, sloshed around, and got some exercise. Looong paddle out on the longboard. Plenty of pushback. Great sunrise through the fog though.
