Summary
Ocean Beach was worth getting up at 4AM for. Everyone likes good sized waves and clean conditions, and that's pretty much what San Francisco offered the world today. Hopefully there's more of that in the coming week!
Waves
Pretty fun size at Ocean Beach, perfect 3-5ft for the most part. Pretty inconsistent, but they were just tricky like that. A bunch of people shredding some waves, I even saw one or two very very forced airs. Probably more opportunity for that earlier when it was a bit cleaner. Dillon Beach was small. The fish was perfect for these waves, but that doesn't make them any bigger.
Crowds
By all standards Northern California is never crowded. There were people surfing up and down Ocean Beach, but by no means does it qualify as crowded by any standards (least of all compared to SoCal.) I surfed alone at Dillon Beach, like usual. Two guys went out just after I left.
Weather
All of California was foggy and overcast on the drive up, but somehow apparently Ocean Beach missed that. It was beautiful, warm, still air. The water is cold, but when isn't it? Booties solve that problem. Dillon Beach was overcast with a nice offshore. If there was a bigger swell it would have been a beautiful afternoon surf.
Forecast
n/a---since it's so amazing it's not worth even bothering.
Eventful Stuff
Good waves is pretty much it. Miss a few, catch a few, I had three or four three-turn waves, and quite a few beautiful little shoulders.
