...but the surf is lacking. This morning the sky has the same dazzling qualities as yesterday, but drastically different shades. It's worth it to get up early JUST to see these morning skies, which is pretty much all you can do at the beach right now.
The surf is small. Very small. Walking up from the beach there was a guy talking on the phone to some of his buddies, "Knee high, if that. Yea, yea...I'm just telling you as it is." The longboard spot is knee high, 2nd/3rd were waist+ on sets, completely flat between.
Out there I saw Ed and two other folks from school (Eric/David) which always makes surfing on small days a bit more fun. At least there wasn't a rush of off-from-school-because-of-Jewish-holiday kids today.
I would say closer to low tide was far better. There was a mad offshore wind so the faces define clean. There were a couple shoulderish high waves, definitely fun. The little board was ripping today. A few beautiful little pockets here and there (almost all rights) but mosty closeouts, like usual. The big sets were the ones that had some real definition with some actual shoulders, and those are obviously pretty rare.
