Surf: 3.3 ft at 16.0 s from the SW at 231°.

This morning was a little tricky. I checked a few of the spots I thought might catch this swell. Some of them were looking really interesting. Unfortunately I’m really sore and I didn’t feel up for it. Sigh. The surf was okay at the usual spot, but I find I’m torn between taking on more challenging waves that look so lovely, and sticking to easier waves while heal.

My plan is to keep trying to pull more complicated moves on the less complicated waves and just keep moving, slow and steady.

Surf: 3.0 ft at 14.8 s from the S at 190°.

Little waves rolling through, but not too shabby.

Surf: 3.3 ft at 8.3 s from the NW at 319°.

Got up to check the waves even though it’s been slop the last week. Checked quite a few spots before settling on the usual. Kinda fun! Tide was a little low, but not terrible.

Surf: 4.3 ft at 8.3 s from the WNW at 302°

Today’s slop was a little less surfable. Not totally unsurfable, but certainly not better. Still, it’s good practice getting up early.

Surf: 3.6 ft at 6.7 s from the WNW at 293°.

Ahh yes, the post-trip home break slopfest. Still, pretty fun this morning, way more fun that waves that sloppy really should be. 🙂

Surf: 4.6 ft at 10.0 s from the WNW at 297°.

It’s been lovely surfing in this grey weather. My back is still sore, but surfing doesn’t seem to be aggravating it, so that’s a plus. I’m feeling somewhat in shape for the trip. Can’t wait. 😀

Surf: 4.6 ft at 9.1 s from the WNW at 303°.

I skipped out on a lecture this morning to go surf. I’ve been hitting lots of lectures this week for Design Week. It was a tough call. Sitting is hurting my back, so I went with waves. Not too bad out there.

Surf: 3.3 ft at 14.8 s from the SW at 217°.

This morning was much better. The waves were smooth, the winds were light, and it started to rain while I was out there. I’ve missed the rain.

My back is still killing me, but I’ve got an appointment with a Chiro next week. Doc says my SI joint is inflamed so I’d be willing to bet there’s lots of stretching in my future. Whatever I can do to patch up before San O!

Surf: 3.3 ft at 12.9 s from the W at 262°. Sudden gusts to 25+ mph.

This was not cool, wind, not cool at all. pic.twitter.com/Xo4axI3lms

I agree with Sticker. That was not cool.

I suited up, the surf looked passable, but by the time I’d walked down to the beach the wind went from a light breeze to gale force winds. By the time I’d finished chasing down a few wind-torn closeouts, my face was beat red and completely windburnt.

And, of course, as I packed up my gear, the wind calmed back down and the waves smoothed out again. Ahh, surfing. 🙂
