A little arm burn...

Summary
Sometimes that's all you need. More power, more size, and better shape than yesterday. That said, still short period punchy waves. Yesterday's potential is here, but it is shadowed behind the onshore winds.
Waves
Quick, fast, pretty big. Given the winds the waves were surprisingly good. Looking from the outlook it looked comparable to yesterday, but once I got to the beach and started paddling out I realized it would be even better.
Crowds
Less than yesterday. Not a whole bunch of people out, but certainly a handful. The forecast was that today would be bigger and more powerful. It was.
Weather
Overcast. Chilly. Genuinely pretty dang cold.
Forecast
Mediocre. Some nice South swell coming, but I'm not going any where that potential is really going to show. Southern California should be decent for the next few weeks, even some west swell on the way. Awesome!
Eventful Stuff
Off to Carmel in my new car today!
Wave of the Day
There was a sweet left I had. Shoulder high, no drop really, just straight shot high up on the face, down, cutback, then a floater in to the closeout. It was pretty fun.

Summary:
