Can't argue with that...

Summary
This is surfing. Nothing against Southern California, but days like today are rare. Good conditions, good size waves, fun workable shoulders, and moderate crowds. Pretty much as much fun as you can have. 4/5 because while doable and fun, certainly a little mushy and hard to take off on.
Waves
Well well well...super fun super workable faces. Rights and lefts, Steve and I sat behind the apartments getting the hook up on the ridiculously consistent sets. The best waves County has seen in a heck of a long time.
Crowds
Absolute laugh. It's a holiday today, but the truth is the crowds are super light. By no means was it "not crowded" but given amazing waves, a national holiday off, and beautiful weather, there were very few people.
Weather
Chilly but not too cold. Still air early morning, slowly progressing to offshores. Regardless beautiful weather for surfing, amazing sunrise, etc.
Forecast
Yes, it looks pretty dang amazing. New swell filling in tomorrow, fun waves through the week!
Eventful Stuff
Shortboard leashless in decent waves when surfing in front of rocks is not a good idea. Needless to say, my afternoon left me spending some time fixing up the dings. I did not drop in on anyone, and no one dropped in on me.
Wave of the Day
Where to begin? Put quite simply I had a decent wave every five minutes. Any wave that you could take inside would wall up and barrel for a few seconds before destroying you. Ranking the dozen+ barrels is no simple feat, and so I am going to make a conservative call and say that this wave was a right behind the apartments. Late drop, steep bottom turn and cutback, then wiggling around the wave until it walled up on the inside, giving me a two second barrel and a hell of a paddle back out.
