Shorebreak for Breakfast
SURF: 4-8ft. I met a few stokereporters out for dawn patrol at Ocean Beach. I was optimistically assured by Josh it would be a nice 3-5 and good practice on the shortboard. Arg. It was definitely bigger than I was expecting. I still haven’t been able to duck dive my 6’8 so all and all [...]

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. [...]

Watching from the Beach
Surf: 3-5 ft. waist to head high and fair-good conditions. PM REGIONAL OVERVIEW: Mix of old Southern Hemi swell and new/building NW swell on offer this afternoon. Better breaks have waist-chest-shoulder high+ surf, while top exposures are pulling in head head high+ sets at times. Conditions are still clean, with most spots seeing scattered peaks, [...]
