PM Doublesun
Surf: Waist-Chest High, less consistent. Yay! Freckled and happy. I got to watch a nice looooong sunset and catch a few waves. Wave quality was better in the am but I’m more than happy to doublestack my stoke. I saw both Chris and Aaron get some nice rights. Crowd was crowded, but mostly friendly. Saw [...]

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 [...]

Warm sun!
Surf: Waist-Chest High. Consistent. Look at that blue sky. Blue! And all of a sudden it’s summer in San Francisco. The parking lots were packed and I found myself in the very foreign situation of walking barefoot across hot sand. Yup, hot sand. Just like a beach anywhere else in August. Waves were fun, but [...]

Not Quite a New Swell
Surf: Knee-Waist High, Little junky Went on a wavehunt this morning. Drove by OB, the whole Pacifica coast, all the way down to Half Moon Bay. Pretty mellow, pretty warbly. Wound up surfing longer than I’d though, getting a few fun waves. Nice to be out. New waves to come soon.

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 [...]

Junky Surf, Pretty Weather
Surf: Knee to Waise high, junky. Yeah, it was junky. Yeah the wind was on it and warbling it up. But hey, it was pretty dang fun. Poor wave quality but def a good time. Like most Linda Mar summer days, it favored those with foam. One spot breaking pretty well but Chris and I [...]

Wild Wildlife
Surf: Knee-Waist High. Junky. Pretty low expectations once again exceeded. Spent about 4 hours paddling around catching waves here and there, running in to friends. In the last hour or so of the session I was looking out to sea and saw a pretty big something jump pretty far away from us. Something big with [...]

Sunset Monday
Surf: Knee high with some pretty strong sideshore winds. Rideable. Snuck out for another afternoon session before the brunt of this week’s work is expected to hit. There was a small group just tearing up this peeling wave at the middle of the beach. Nose riding, all that fancy stuff. I drifted more to the [...]

Another Sunny Friday
Surf: Knee high waves, inconsistent and a little crumbly. Work this week was pretty brutal. After finishing my project I race out the door and on to the waves. Little crowded out there but catchable and offering a few good rides here and there. The mellow waves this summer has offered up are proving some [...]

That’s more like it
Surf: Waist high, surprisingly well shaped given the wind, warm water FULL of jellies. Headed out after work with low expectations. Water was still warm and the waves had shaped up since the day before. Plenty of fun rides. Lots of nice little lefts and sections to chase. I managed to somehow park myself in [...]
