| Friday May 18thWaves were decent size, some 3 ft'ers, got out right at low tide, a little after. It was fairly bumpy, but it was fun.
Got a few rides, can tell I'm way out of shape. Need to keep getting out, nothing like waves, sun and bikini's. |
| Saturday May 5thWaves were pretty small, water was pleasant, sun out, got in a lot of paddling practice which I needed
after this long, long, long layoff from surfing. Caught a few rides, nothing to brag about, it was just fun to get out again. |

| Sunday Sept 25th Waves were a little bigger, 2-3ft occasional 4fter rolling it. Fun day, only spent about an hour
out, the jellies were out, I think they were the cannonballs, I bumped a few with my feet and hands. The stingers were floating
around. It was like sitting in the backyard with the no-see'ems out. There were a few folks out surfing. Swell is starting
to come in |
| Saturday Sept 24th Went out around low tide, small, but fun, the size picked up as the tide and swell started coming
in. Was good to just get out. If you waited some 3ft sets came in, switched back to the tri-fin setup, with the 7" Mickey DeTemple
for the center fin. No jellies, some bait fish, the water was pretty clear. |
| Saturday Sept 10th It was bigger than I expected, all the forecasts said 1-2ft, but it was more like 2-3ft with occ
4ft coming it, closing out, but still fun to ride. Not many people out. Not sure why it was bigger than down south. |
| Sunday Aug 28th Wind was keeping what waves there were from breaking, got a lot of paddling practice in, was able to get
a few rides near low tide. With lighter winds, the waves would have been longboardable. Still a fun day and the first time I've
had back to back sessions in a long while. |
| Saturday,Aug 27th That was a fun session, got out around 2:00, still good size to the waves, the wind made
it a little hard to get good speed up, caught a few nice waves. Worn out, but it was short but fun session. Hopefully
there's something left tomorrow, I'd like to get out again. Just not surfing enough. |
| Saturday, July 30thWent out a couple of hours before low tide, changed the setup on my board removed the side fins and put
a 9" pivot fin all the way in the back. Great setup for the smaller waves, it was small out there, but I had quite a few fun rides, the
setup worked great, that's what I'll be using on the small wave days in the future, got out of the water just before low tide, the wave
size had dropped into the unridable range. Fun day. |
| Sunday, Jun 12thWas out for a few hours, looked like 2, maybe 3ft waves. Fun session had a good workout,
the northward drift was pretty strong. Waves we semi-glassy early, had some surfable sections as the day went on. Got
out before low tide, left 30 minutes after low tide. |
Saturday, Apr 16th Did a double session, while it was bigger around low tide it was fairly bumpy, hard to catch waves.
It cleaned up around 2:30 or so, and the incoming high tide provided some since clean waves. Good workout, and had fun.
Looks a little bumpy on the cams this morning, suppose to clean up by low tide, I think I'm
going to give it a try. |
| Saturday, Apr 3rd Took advantage of the flatness and went fishing, just nice to get out on the ocean. Caught a nice
niced King Mackerel, will be having Mackerel steaks for a while now. Was a lot choppier out than expected. |
| Saturday, Mar 19th Hard to believe it's been since Christmas week since I've been surfing and it felt like it. Waves
were in the 2ft range near low tide, a little bumpy, but decent lines. Caught a lot of nice short rides, it was just nice to get out
in water. Water was around 70F, wore a spring suit, but plenty of folks from up North out in the water, I coulda probably braved it.
Can't go this long again without surfing, there's something wrong with that. |
| Sunday Jan 30th Been fishing more than surfing lately, fish weren't biting, it was good to get out into the sun,
probably would have gone surfing if the fishing trip didn't come up. Need to drop a few pounds so I can fit into the
wetsuit better. |
