Offshore winds what?

Summary
Umm...lots of offshore wind, lots of windswell, a surprising amount of fun. Beautiful, clear, crisp morning.
Waves
Good size, fast, pretty decent shape. Surprisingly difficult drops, shoulders a little elusive, but certainly some fun to be had. Not a ton of potential for turns, but most waves were bottom turn plus one or two little adjustments. Not spectacular, but certainly not bad.
Crowds
Not. Three others out all longboarding.
Weather
Beautiful. Moderate consistent offshores for the whole session. Sun was out, spray was up, waves were there. If only I had a camera...
Forecast
Tuesday/Wednesday look like fun. Winds are great all week but the swell is pretty weak from then on. A little South swell early next week, we'll see what potential it holds.
Eventful Stuff
There was a sea lion that thought it was a dolphin. Literally. This thing was jumping out of the water every breath it took for twenty minutes. At first it scared me because I couldn't see what it was, I just saw big splashes a few hundred feet away. Makes the morning entertaining, that's for sure.
Wave of the Day
There were some fun ones. I would have been better off on the Fish but I still got some decent ones with some decent drops and sharp turns.
