Summary
Hey-o! What a baller session. Seriously. Definitely the best session I have had since finals week. Good size, good shape, super fun. Pretty much perfect.
Waves
4-6ft non-set waves, 6-9ft set waves. Beautiful. There were tons of longboarders so anyone on a shortish board had to sit pretty deep---which meant the beginning of the wave would section pretty frequently, but no biggie. There were plenty of waves, all giving good rides, lots of turning, wraps, a few cutbacks.
Crowds
Latigo was as crowded as it gets. 30 people out including 5 SUPers. Needless to say, there was no parking at Surfrider at 6:00AM. The least crowded actual spot in Malibu for sure. Tomorrow is going to be FIRING. Shortboard is the call perhaps...there is some potential for fun.
Weather
Overcast, clowdy early. Sun started to come out as the morning progressed. Pretty chilly, but certainly far from cold.
Forecast
Good. Tomorrow is bigger than today, Sunday is chest-head high, Monday probably around chest high. By then the crowds should be quite a bit more managable. Yay!
Eventful Stuff
There was a barreling break infront of the appartments/houses infront of the gas station. It looked sick, and I was tempted to test it out, but I've seen the rockyness below right there. Wipeout would not be fun. Everywhere in Malibu is firing. Westwards is probably ten feet giant closeout barrels. I can't even imagine. Needless to say, the waves today were mighty fun. The crowds relatively big but honestly as non-aggro, chill of a crowd as you could get. Lots of yielding waves to others / waving them on.
Wave of the Day
Uhm yea. The last wave I had was by far the best of the day. 7 or 8 ft face, pretty big but not giant, sweet drop, bottom turn and wrap, then shooting up and down the face for almost two minutes, from as far outside as the waves were breaking all the way in to the far end of the appartments by the rocks at the inner part of the shorebreak. Effing sick ride. Those are the waves that make me want to have one of those cameras...even though it wouldn't have made it.
