...because this stiff morning breeze gave me chills.
Santa Ana winds are suppose to die off after today (http://www.owsweather.com/sawfc.html) and the swell throughout the week should be pretty comparable to today, which is not saying very much. Expectation is waist-chest high, and that's given my high expectations. The reality is that Malibu/North LA will have a weak surf weekend. Not sure what if any breaks will be good. The super high tides mess with the surf as much as the super low ones do, so we'll see. Next Monday is what really has me hopeful. Looks like we'll be getting a SSW swell mixing with an intense NW swell up in Northern Cali to give us some decent surf down here. I'm not sure about the size yet, but prelim for Fri-Sun the 24th-26th is shoulder-head+ here in north LA County, probably even bigger in Ventura because it might see some of the NW swell.
Surf this morning was weak. Small, gutless, really not too many waves. I was on my big board, and even 7'6" felt like I was struggling for most of the waves. Probably had 2 decent waves in the two hours I was there. There were some other Pepp kids there making the best of it---which is really all one can do. The nearshore buoy says 2-2.6ft waves. Too small for much fun. I should have moved over to Corner but I didn't feel like paddling in and out.
I did get some BioEars "Anti-Microbial" earplugs which seem to work pretty well. $5 for four sets, reusable. So far I like them, but I'm skeptical to see if they can hold up to 10+ sessions, if so then they're definately worth it!
