Summary
All things considered, it was a decent session with some fun waves. Not spectacular, but there was some size (occasionally) and some wide open faces with some turning room. That and the beautiful weather / giant smoke plume.
Waves
Generally waist high, but the sets got almost to shoulder high. Decent shape, a little closeouty but not too much so. As such the waves were generally pretty fast even though the tide was pretty high. In the end it was the high tide that killed the shape, so I booked it just as it peaked.
Crowds
Quite a few out. Mostly on longboards, fish, boogieboards, and kneeboards. That said, there were a few people shortboarding, and a few absolutely destroying waves.
Weather
Beautiful sunny warm morning, close to 70deg. That said, there is a giant plume of incense-smelling smoke a few miles high visible from the beach. Ridiculous.
Forecast
Iffy. There's some potential in this hurricane that's spinning up. Other than that just weak S swell and a refreshing bash of NW windswell.
Eventful Stuff
Nathan.
Wave of the Day
Sweet little right. Nice open shoulder drop, almost shoulder high. Slow bottom turn into a sweet cutback into the face, then shoot along the rapidly closing out face and into one more slice off the top of the wave. It was a surprisingly fun, fast wave given the general conditions of the morning surf.
