Wednesday Double Shot Surf Report
With the wind showing up for my lunch time surf breaks, I thought it might be a good idea to try a dawn patrol session today. To make a long story short, it was the best surf in weeks, and I made the most of it. The water was like sheet glass, with peaks jacking up and offering shoulders to rip on, with lots of speed. Damn, that was great!
Lunch was windy, choppy, mixed up, etc. After the morning session, it was definitely a let down. However, this is the norm here during spring, so perhaps more morning sessions will be on tap for me.

Tuesday Afternoon Surf Report
After being out of the water for almost one week, I was going surfing no matter what the conditions were. And today, they were small and junky, with a bit of wind added in for good measure. I made the best of the marginal conditions and had a good time getting back in the water again. It also looks like we'll be getting a bit of swell over the next few days.

Tuesday Afternoon Surf Report
I almost decided to not go surfing today, due in large part to the cloudy, blustery weather we experienced yesterday. However, when 12:30 rolled around, I looked outside and the sun was burning through some low clouds. The wind was similarly low, and so I grabbed my CI single fin, and hoped for the best.
The waves were small (in the 3 foot range), but there were some nice shoulders to ride on, and I had three of the best waves I've had in a while. I'm damn glad I did go out, that is for sure. It looks like the conditions for the next few days will be the same, with a nice and juicy pulse (6 to 9 feet) coming in over the weekend from almost due west - perfect for North County! Keep your fingers crossed...

Tuesday Lunch Break Surf Report
Driving into work today, I went along the 101 and saw some very nice looking waves breaking all along North Country. While kicking myself for not getting out on a Dawn Patrol, I hoped that the waves and conditions would remain consisten, at least through my lunch.
Unfortunately, it wasn't to be. The wind kicked up, and the tide was changing during my lunch break surf, resulting in extremely choppy and mixed up waves. It appears as if we may be getting a nice little bump in the South swell near the end of the week, but it may be coming along with some inclement weather as well. d'oh!

The Woo-Hoo! Monday Surf Report
Today, the conditions (as one might guess from the title) were extremely clean and glassy, with very little wind. The swell has backed off a bit from yesterday, but the set waves were still about shoulder high, with nice peaks peeling off long shoulders and fun rides. Let's hope these conditions hold or improve over the week!
Here are a few pictures of me from today's lunch:
