And it was...

...breezy. As most forecasts predicted, the morning air was amovin. I guess I shouldn't have had high expectations, but I usually do. I'll be honest and say that all in all I was a bit disappointed.
Waves left a lot to be desired too. County Line was honestly bigger than I thought it would be, not shorepound, decent (occasional) shoulders, with mostly closeouts. Surfrider epitomized dead. It is the beach that can't get blown out, but the wind sure made the waves mushy and gross. Before the breeze got too strong (15+knots according to forecasts) there were some decent waves. The wind killed em' though.
Truly no inspiration today. The only injury I had was from Ralphs buying food post session, I stub my toe and gush blood all over my shoes.
Forecast: I'm genuinely hopeful for Norbert! Malibu'll get jipped because of the angle, but I think that Ventura/County Line should have some rocking surf for the weekend. I'm going to head up along Hwy 1 early tomorrow to see. 16 sec shoulder-head high is what I'm hoping for. I think it'll happen too, it will just be very strange because of the massive dead spots as a result of the island shadows down here.
