Summary
Quite frankly, I am surprised at the fun quality of the Zuma waves today. Fast, but big ol' shoulders to play with. Turns galore. Lots of folks out even though the swell was supposed to be dying down. I guess I just didn't pay much attention to the reports for Sunday, didn't think it was going to be anything special. In the end, it was pretty fun. Not spectacular, but pretty close.
Waves
Average waist-chest high sets, maybe SLIGHTLY bigger, but not much. Open shoulders, right place, right time kind of day. That said, I was in the right place at the right time a lot. Three amazing "wtf this is Zuma and it's not that big" waves. Good enough for me.
Crowds
A lot out. I ended up parking really far from my usual spot (9), and I'm thinking about surfing this spot more. Lots of rights, a few fast lefts, and amazing shape. I was genuinely surprised, what with the textured ocean and all. At least two or three hundred out scattered around Zuma. I went late, though.
Weather
Overcast, chilly, light breeze. Pleasant, but not warm.
Forecast
Tomorrow is up in the air, I'm going out but I'm not sure how early (depends on the CDIP at 7:00 tomorrow...)
Eventful Stuff
Stitches out tomorrow. Exciting day. Lots of little kids, some decent surfers, mostly the typical I-surf-once-a-month folks. Can't argue with that...more waves for me =)
Wave of the Day
I had three darn sweet waves. Two to start, one to finish. The first two were fast shoulders, quick take offs, sharp bottom turn, cutback, bottomturn, sharp cut off the top, wrap around, race the closeout shoulders, snap at the end. I was like, "wtf do I not have my camera on for...that would be a SWEET video..." I seem to surf better without it...oh well =)
