Today would be a beautiful day for surfing...

...if there were waves.
Summary
Surfing what? You need waves for that...
Waves
Poor, small, inconsistent sets. With low tide at 3ft, high tide at 4ft, there's just too much water for it to be breaking well. Certainly some fun ones, but no more than one turn and a finisher on any wave. Thank god for the fish, too small for anything else.
Crowds
No waves = no crowds. Short and simple.
Weather
Sunny, warm, funky winds. Santa Ana winds have been here since the storm left, they're certainly weakening a bit today but no question they're still here. I'm not sure what's wrong with Surfrider but winds shifted from off, to cross, to on, to cross, to off, about ten times. Funky.
Forecast
Supposedly the weekend is going to bring us some decent waves. We'll see, I am a bit skeptical, but I would be happy with consistent waist high for the next week. We should see some decent swell through most all of next week, Malibu no more than shoulder high at any point, but we'll see.
Eventful Stuff
Literally nothing whatsoever. Up at County on Wednesday I jumped off the rocks onto sand (aka a rock that looked like sand) and banged up my heel. It's still got some pretty nasty hurt to it, but I'm pretty sure it's not serious.

Summary:
Surfrider 2, Malibu
5'11" Southpoint
7:00AM-9:00AM
1-2ft w/ 3ft+ sets 17sec
Funky winds
1.5/5 overall
