Five hours of surfing in one day is a lot

Summary
Surfrider was a bit mushy. Latigo was mad legit sick super fun. Not perfect, but certainly very promising given the ridiculous crowds here in Malibu. Fun waves all around! Good thing I brought the fishy...
Waves
Decent sized, not huge. Surfrider was certainly smaller than expected. Latigo was bigger than expected. Both had decent shape, though Latigo was hands down tiers above Surfrider. I'm really optimistic.
Crowds
Surfrider was packed given the mediocre nature of the waves. 2nd had probably 75 or 100, 1st I don't evcn want to think about.
Weather
A little chilly, not too memorible. Windy afternoons, clear throughout. Crisp, but warm water. (almost 60!)
Forecast
Looks pretty good!
Eventful Stuff
Latigo!
Wave of the Day
One of those Latigo waves. I'm not sure which one exactly, but there were two or three 30+second waves with two or three slowish turns. Surprisingly few people dropping in.
