How often is it that my afternoon sesh is better than the morn?

Summary
The tide was right. The afternoon rocked the morn. Both had a handful of fun waves, but the afternoon was MUCH more consistent, a fair bit bigger, and overall much more surfing was happening. Oh, and the sun was out. Bomb.
Waves
The waves were decent, some pretty punchy waves mixed in with tons of mushballs. The afternoon was the opposite. Tons of steep, super punchy waves, mixed in with the occasional mushy closeout. MUCH more rippable in the afternoon.
Crowds
The morning actually ended up getting pretty crowded, probably almost forty out. Pretty crazy given the fact the surf was pretty mediocre. In the afternoon only a handful were out, none when I first paddled out, two right after, and two more later.
Weather
SPECTACULAR day. Mid-high clouds in the morning, clear as clear can be in the afternoon.
Forecast
Looks promising...eventually. The swell dies after today, but the conditions continue.
Eventful Stuff
Sweet, punchy, barrel-ridden afternoon. One other guy ripping. Always fun to see that.
Wave of the Day
Afternoon barrel for sure. Sick, had me stoked. Drop right into a nice little cover up. Of course I don't make it out. Need a big point break for that...
