...more California Street fun!

Summary
Quality waves with Eric and Steve up in Ventura. Not perfect conditions, tides unquestionably funky, but no doubt fun. Quite surprising how few people were out, given the steepness and overall fun qualities of all these waves.
Waves
Fun as sin waves. Mushy for the most part, but there were certainly some carvable waves. Not shredable, but a few turns here and there. Smaller than I was expecting overall.
Crowds
All left before we came. C-Street really must have been firing to have some little thing called wind scare people away.
Weather
Warm offshore/cross offshore winds. There was quite a bit of chop in the water, but bearable. Winds continued picking up throughout the morning/early afternoon, and didn't kill the waves, only the crowds.
Forecast
Bleh pretty much sums it up. Weak, small through the next week. Maybe some South swell or something, unfortunately nothing too special to look forward to.
Eventful Stuff
When we first got there some a-hole in a pickup who was "in line" apparently got pissed at me, and totally exploded on some old lady, cursing her out and jacking her parking space. If I were here 8 year old grandson in the car I would have shat my pants, literally. That white trash was scary. I wrote down his license plate for fear that my car would be keyed or my tires slashed when I came back. Thankfully not.
A few mad pumping waves, I know I got a few cutbacks and a few wraparounds in, waves too mushy to go absolutely crazy though. Ended on a good wave, so I'm happy.
