Busy busy day so this is a retro

Summary
Where to begin? Quite simply, County was firing pretty much the whole day. There's a storm with rain and all that jazz but it's donning a pretty sweet little swell and some nice offshores. I know I'm a bit ridiculous sometimes, but I bought a Southshore Fish for kicks (basically for dinky sub-par Surfrider surf days so I don't ding up my nice boards...)
Waves
Fun, decent sized, good shape. Consistency was mediocre with sets breaking 2-3ft bigger than the average waves. No question that there were some steep, hollow shoulders to pick off, lefts and rights both in the morning and evening. Overall the beach break was faring better than the rocky little reef/point.
Crowds
Not crowded, per say, but last night's hangovers certainly didn't stop people from coming in the morning. Overall a medicore crowd in both quality and quantity, the waves were certainly there for some shredding. The evening was definately a relaxed session---mostly beginners on longboards with boards flying everywhere...
Weather
Stormy, windy, rainy, with nice offshore winds. The whole day, pretty depressing because after coming back from the morning session I went straight off to some intermural football (boo losing 28-27) which had people slipping and sliding all over the place.
Forecast
Looks like some good surf through Tuesday. The internet says onshore winds, but I'm pretty sure that it lies. West swell peaks tomorrow night, fades on Monday, dies Tuesday. There's a little SW swell that should give some decent waves through Wednesday. Next weekend looks like perhaps there'll be a decent West windswell, but that's a little far off to have any sort of accuracy. In short, winter needs to give us some consistent head high waves with Santa Ana's! Gogo!
Eventful Stuff
I bought a little fishy today, 5'11" Southshore epoxy. I tested it in the evening and man it's fun. I thought it would be a good idea to enter it into the ocean as a free board, without a leash, and that messed me up a bit. Apparently I didn't wax quite far enough back, because the first wave I went for my right foot slipped, I fell on my ass, and the board skirted all the way to shore. Oops. That happened one more time then I went to Mia's car and put a bit more wax (and a leash) on. Those boards are so ridiculously easy to catch waves on it's not even funny. I started to try to pump it and I realized that it was just soaring, moves so fast that it's hard to slow it down. I certainly don't get the opportunity for two wraparounds on my shortie very often, but on this little speed demon it's almost every other wave..
