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.

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. 🙂

Surf: 4.6 ft at 16.0 s from the WSE at 238°. NW Winds 4kn.

These kinds of mornings always make me hopeful that summer is here. Clean, mellow, not too cold. I got several fun little waves right from the get go, then struggled as the crowd filled in. I always feel in the way on my hull. Still, it was plenty fun. Hoping we get more days like this, soon. 🙂
