And it begins...

Summary
Overall pretty fun. Imperfect but certainly the potential out there. If this were a week day it would be obscene and amazing, but it isn't. Swell is building through the day
Waves
3-5ft, looking bigger at the longboardesque break. Super fun, generally good shape not too wally.
Crowds
Not fun. Lots of people, lots of longboarders snaking and normal people snaking. Tuesday and Wednesday should be good crowds though.
Weather
Pretty nice offshore flow (actual offshore at C-Street) and sunny skies. There was a little fire on the beach and some firemen around it, not sure what's up with that.
Forecast
Firing. Looks great.
Eventful Stuff
Crowds. Not going to Norcal this weekend. Mia & Eric collision and board dink. Yuck.
Wave of the Day
Of course the only legit barrel I get today is when I'm on Steve's fishy, which was fun but makes me sad---my board likes those waves!
The actual wave of the day was probably only a little 4ft wave that I paddled for, probably a dozen pumps and three or four cutbacks and a half wrap-around. There were lots of comparable fun waves, but that one was a nice long fast ride.

Summary:
C-Street, Ventura
6'1" Al Merrick White Dove
7:00-8:30
3-5ft 16sec w/ bigger sets
3/5
