Refreshing ocean

Summary
Decent little surf today. A little size, a little power, pleasant conditions, overall a worthwhile surf. It certainly energized me, inspiring me to accomplish a little something with my day today. Thank you ocean!
Waves
Surprising size. Somewhat inconsistent, but when the waves came they came with a vengeance. Most waves were the chest-shoulder high range, although there were a few overhead bumps rolling through the lineup. Those pretty much went unridden, slapping everyone in the lineup with a reminder that they should be out farther.
Enough power for a few turns, wraps, slaps, etc. Not fast enough for anything too special, but it certainly was shortboardable. I had a lot of fun on my fish. Unfortunately duck-dove into a rock and nicked the tip...again. At least that one is an easy fix.
Crowds
A handful out. Only one guy out when I paddled, then as people saw us ripping more and more came. The point was going off (as much as it can on windswell...)
Weather
Sunny, chilly, beautifully crisp.
Forecast
Friday should have 2-3ft NW windswell, as well as a little 3ft S
Saturday should have a little 3ft S.
Sunday hopefully some NW groundswell, 3-4ft, bigger sets.

Monday hopefully more NW groundswell, 3-4ft, bigger sets.
Eventful Stuff
A little seal playing upside down munching on some greens. Belly up, fins up, pretty cute. This one didn't scare me, though most do.
Wave of the Day




I have a video posted of this one. Pretty fun, slipping and sliding through the crowds at County. Decent little set wave, there were quite a few, though this is one of my three favorite of the morning.

Summary:
County Line, Malibu
5'10" Quad Fish
7:00-9:15
3-5ft sets
