NOT a shark fin...it's a dolphin...

Summary
Offshores ALL day. More waves tomorrow, bigger swell, more consistent, should be a fair bit better. That said, this morning was pretty darn fun. My surfing was a little off. No biggie. Lots of fun to be had. Spazzy camera...oh well.
Waves
Decent size, most set waves in the 4-5ft range, some 6ft bombs rolling through every twenty minutes or so. Shape was so-so, as it was groundswell mixed with local windswell. Generally pretty fast, some hollow corners, but for the most part one turn closeouts.
Crowds
About a dozen out. Pretty crowded for a weekday.
Weather
Sunny, warm, BEAUTIFUL. Spectacular fall morning. Seriously the most beautiful day I've seen here all year.
Forecast
Winds look good. Plenty of swell. Should be a fun week...
Eventful Stuff
Dolphin fin...scary shit. I first saw it about thirty feet outside of two other surfers. They were looking right at it, so I figured they knew what was going on. I saw it and thought it was way too big to be a dolphin. That and I have never seen a dolphin here before. Later on I saw it closer. Huge fin, biggest dolphin I have ever seen it before.
Wave of the Day
Sweet right. Nice drop, bottom turn mini cut, pocketed for two second, then I get dropped in on. Bummer, especially considering that there were like half a dozen people out at the time. There were quite a few others, mostly one-snap finisher waves...pretty quick because the tide was dropping fast.

Summary:
Dillon Beach, Marin
5'10" Quad Beauty
