Incoming. Winds out of the S.<\/p>\n<p>Yeeeew that was fun. If there&#8217;s only one thing this beach does well, it&#8217;s these conditions.<\/p>\n<p>I brought a board and an extra suit for Boris. We got down to the lot\u00c2\u00a0before the sun was even up. I&#8217;m always nervous taking friends who don&#8217;t surf around here. I want it to be fun and easy. I knew the winds would be blowing, but it was hard to tell if the suf would be big and closed out, or fun. I could see the little peelers even in the dark. YESSSSS.<\/p>\n<p>I found myself a nice right and surfed and surfed and surfed. I snapped my leash string, I surfed to hard. As I was threading a new one, waves were just rolling in. Oh man, it was hard to be patient and get the new string in when all I wanted to do was get back out there.<\/p>\n<p>Once I had my leash back on, I paddled out again. It was a beast to stay in place and totally worth the paddle.\u00c2\u00a0Oh man was that right fun. It had some steep drops but the wind keep things open and all I had to do was hold on and trim. It was a blast. Great for walking up, great for swooping along. Yeeeeee.<\/p>\n<p>Boris had a good time, too! He and Chris wound up all the way at the north end and it sounded like there were plenty of waves up there.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds like we&#8217;ll have a pretty active storm season this winter. I hope we get more days like this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surf: 4.9 ft at 12.1 s from the W at 281\u00c2\u00b0. Incoming.
