Giddy with anticipation...

...for the swell up North...
Summary
Fun. Not great, but pretty much perfect fish waves. I would have been lost with my shortboard.
Waves
Early session was sucky. Late session was sucky. Mid session was pretty dang fun. For it being Zuma and for it being relatively small, there were some mighty fine shoulders. I even saw a few people getting little shacks. I was not lucky enough to get a worthy see-through barrel, but I got covered up/spit out a few times, which I don't count. Shape was pretty hard to pull into, but once you got on it even the closeouts were pretty slow and you could get around the sections most of the time.
Crowds
Surprisingly crowded given the generally mediocre conditions. People up and down the whole beach.
Weather
Pretty chilly, overcast, almost stormy but not quite. It did rain a little bit late in the session.
Forecast
Sucky for down South. I think I will sleep in tomorrow instead of surf.
Norcal forecast looks bomb. 14sec+, 6ft+ of swell. Should be decent waves pretty much everywhere. Winds look favorable. Weather looks cold, wet, and breezy (offshores!) Oh spring break, you have me quite giddy with anticipation. And to think, you start tomorrow night. 13 days of glority.
Eventful Stuff
Dolphins galore, again. These little little creatures are crazy.
Wave of the Day
Pretty simple little left, probably just about 3ft, two backside wraparound cutbacks on my fish. There were some bigger set waves that would have been amazing but I ended up too far inside for most of them.
