SURF:<\/strong> 1-3ft. Light winds. Warm and sunny.

The winter has done some strange things here in Norther California. <\/p>\n

A giant chunk of Sloat is missing<\/a> and a new beach seems to have appeared smack in the middle of Cowells. The spot where I picked off wave after wave back in November is now occupied by families grilling up burgers and lounging in the sun. <\/p>\n

The waves were still mellow, but the crowd is a bit more compact. I was unable to navigate 20+ people got get down the line and get the long rides of last November. But the sun was warm and it was a good day out overall. <\/p>\n

I spent a little time picking off waves at Indicators before heading back to the pack at Cowells. Had a minor tangle up with Cynthia on a wave resulting in a broken rail on my board. She uses Protek fins <\/a> so the damage was minor. I ran up the cliff, grabbed the 8’3 and went back out for a few more waves. <\/p>\n

One highlight for the day: spotted a sea otter at Indicators. I hadn’t seen one in the wild before. They are really dang cute. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
