Summary
I'm not even going to talk about County Line because, truth be told, it was above average but certainly not spectacular. Westwards was firing. Westwards was beautiful. Westwards had barrels. Westwards was full of chicks in bikinis.
Waves
Bomb! Good size, good fast shoulders. Faces held up by the light offshores. Not tons of barrels but there certainly were some scattered beauties. Surprisingly the swell had filled in quite a lot since the morning, and it was leaps and bounds cleaner and more consistent. My board loves these waves. There were no bonks, no misses, no mistakes, no nothing bad. Just bomb side drops and sick cutbacks. No airs, but there will be.
Crowds
There were a few out, but it was certainly not crowded. I had one "hoot"er, but as a whole I missed only a handful of mediocre waves because of other people out there. It was not dangerous because of boards all over the place, just from the beautiful fast I-will-pop-your-board-in-half waves.
Weather
Sunny, warm, offshore. G'damn this day was absolutely glorious. If only I didn't have class well into the afternoon I would have been able to bask in its glory for even longer.
Forecast
Looks bad, but hey today looked bad too. We'll see.
Eventful Stuff
Thank Eric Burd for telling me to go surfing---he came back with Ed just before I left with nothing but praise for the sick surf.
Wave of the Day
Goddamn, which one? Quite simply I don't think I can nail it down to any one. There were a few 2+sec barrels, a handfull of cutbacks on every wave, some sick side drops, some sick straight drops with nasty cutbacks right away. Pretty much the best surfing afternoon I've had since Carmel last summer. No question in my mind. Goddamn sick.
