That was some swell

Summary
Decent sized swell was here. Today is the leftovers...but there is still some size and power to it. Not so great of shape, but the potential exists. As such the surf session had waves, but most of them were pretty painful closeouts.
Waves
Westwards was the land of closeout barrels this morning. Head high or bigger sets. A few decent shoulders, some pretty fast lefts, lots of barrels. Staircase was pretty sweet, some decent chest plus sets. I didn't pay for parking though, and saw a few parks cars wandering about...so I booked it after a decent little taste.
Crowds
A handful of annoying kids at Westwards. About a dozen others scattered at the peaks around Staircase. Not bad given the past weekend.
Weather
Overcast and chilly. It got warmer as the morning progressed.
Forecast
Not. Dead. I'm OOC for at least a weak after this. Boo wisdom teeth.
Eventful Stuff
Heading North tomorrow.
Wave of the Day
One of the few waves I got at Staircase. A good size right popped up, steep drop, cutback, down the face, shoot across the shoulder, another cutback into the closeout. Not spectacular but it was a pretty fun decent little wave.
