I wish I could have ended on a better note...

I'm bad about posting on time when I'm home. Retro post for Tuesday January 6
Summary
...but the past few weeks of winter have overall been lacking. If it's good conditions there's no good size, and vice-versa. Today held the power, but the tides mixed with funky storm chop transformed the surf from doable to craptastic.
Waves
Initially fun, steep shoulders. Not too workable, but certainly a good drop and bottom turn, then tiny carve to stay on the mush pile of whitewater. A few hollow shoulders but really nothing like what the past few days offshores have done.
Crowds
Two other guys out. The shortboarder left just before it got to the unrideable phase, the longboarder stayed out longer than I.
Weather
Sunny, beautiful, no fog, cross/offshore winds. Guess there's a little something of some storm swell mixed in because the ocean got choppy as the tide was falling.
Forecast
Looks good up North. Looks good down South.
Eventful Stuff
Nothing.
Wave of the Day
Really nothing spectacular. This is the kind of summer crap that plagues the north, and it's frustrating. Even on the fish the waves were deceptive, the storminess of the ocean deceptively making non-waves seem like waves, and waves seem like nothing. WOTD would probably be a left, straight shot pretty much just trying to get out of the mush to the outside. I did and then the wave hit the inside and spit me out. Nothing spectacular.
