Only a a few souls out

After a week off from surfing I paddled out Saturday and today.

Saturday: big and closed out. I didn't catch a thing. Some guys north side were getting barrelled and pounded.

Today: small and closed out. If you took the smaller ones they were pretty good. As the tide filled in, the bigger ones became more makeable.

Not as good as I thought it would be

Yeah, nothing much really. Just a peak every once and a while just north of the pier. Surfed a little bit with whiffleboy and then a few people showed up later. On a more interesting note - it was warm enough to trunk it again...

At least the weather is nice

So today is another day of small surf.

Weather was good though - so good, in fact, that I was burning up in my wetsuit.

And... that is all I have to say for today.

Post for last Saturday

Saturday kind of sucked. I thought the water was going to be warm, so I trunked it. I thought the waves were going to be decent so I brought the quad. Neither were true and I ended up freezing my butt off while trying to catch tiny closeouts.

I decided to sleep in today because I needed to catch up on my rest. Might go out tomorrow though.

Closed out and low tide

I got out this morning at about 6:30 and there wasn't too much to be excited about. Low tide, fast, hardly any shoulders. The ends of the rides were pounders too.

I posted up North of the pier and got some rights... but like I said, you got pounded at the end of the ride. I had a few where the board got sucked out from under my feet and got turned around. I thought I was going to land on my fins for sure, but was lucky enough to escape.

Good weather, decent conditions

Low tide this morning made the surf a little tricky. You had to put yourself in good spots to get anything even remotely close to a ride.

I saw Brett and Ronnie when they were leaving and they both gave me the "ehhh" hand sign.

I ended up paddling out in front of the First North Lifeguard tower and got a few rights and lefts. They were a little gnarly so they were tough to get into.

Pretty fun

Happy birthday to me. I thought today was going to be a normal day, but it was actually pretty fun. There were peaks up and down the beach, so you could have picked other places aside from the pier.

I ended up surfing north side and had a few lefts and rights. The waves were slow to start and slammed you at the end of the ride. That was probably due to the low tide. When I left the water, it softened up a bit more and a lot more people were coming in.

Most of the waves were waist to shoulder high with occassional head high sets rolling through.
