End of the Work Week Surf Report
I surfed twice yesterday: once in the early AM when the tide was low and the conditions were extremely calm but the waves were small, and once on my lunch. The lunch session was much better, with plenty of fun waves to pick off, and some decent waves to work with.
Today, the swell was predicted to pick up significantly, but those of us in the North County didn't get the full brunt of the swell due to us living in the 'shadow' of Pt. Conception and some of the islands off the coast of southern California. However, we did see a good boost in wave size which showed up for the lunch break surf today. Unfortunately, the waves didn't have good shape, with close outs the norm as the set waves rolled in. At the end of my session, I was knocked in a bit by one set wave, then I got dumped, rolled, and rinsed by the largest set wave of the session. After pulling the sea weed out of my nose, and evicting the hermit crabs residing in my ears, I just paddled back in and called it a day. I haven't gone through a rinse cycle like that in a long time.
