Summary
Beautiful skies, clean morning offshore winds, crispy cool water, but overall lacking in the whole waves aspect of surfing.
Waves
Inconsistent sets, shape leaving quite a lot to be desired, and damn cold.
Crowds
Good joke. 1 (me) at 7:30, 3 at 8:30, 9 at 9:30.
Weather
Oh my God today is a beautiful sunny morning. The sunrise was an absolutely spectacular synergy of pink and orange streams. No fog and nice offshores through the whole morning.
Forecast
I didn't think winter could be this small here. Tomorrow gets even smaller, but it starts to pick up from there. There's a nice little storm/mix of ground and wind swell hitting up here early Monday (I'm gone to Sugar Bowl for the day...darn) and continuing through the week. Basically conditions might not be perfect but there should be at least 5+ft of swell from Monday through the weekend. Yesterday the forecast was raw 30ft storm swell on Wednesday, which models have since revised downwards to ~15ft (or 10-12 for Dillon Beach here.) Basically, looks good.
Eventful Stuff
The water is really really really cold. I should probably wear gloves, what with my hands being unable to put the key in the ignition and all...
Wave of the Day
Pretty simple, 3+ft wave, clean shoulder, simple drop, cutback, straightshot, and whack-a-face. Given the crappy waves today, it was pretty darn fun.
Summary:
Dillon Beach, Marin County
5'10" Southpoint
7:30-10:30AM
1-3ft (with a few 4ft waves) 11sec
Cross offshore
