Meager




Dead calm, hyper glassy, low tide and flat, flat, flat. Perfect for diving or kayaking to the offshore kelp beds.

Patches of blue sky showing here and there but no actual sun (yet). 8 guys out. Looks like a good day to catch up on "stuff" that you've been meaning to get to.

Have a good one

Squadrons of Sting Rays




patrolling the inside was the most exciting thing in the water this morning. Wait, I think the seal coming up out of the water like he was being pursued by a Great White was much more exciting; especially since that was the Shark Week episode i watched last night!

Otherwise it was calm and glassy, 14 guys out with at least that many getting ready. Waist high, best on the sets.

Long lulls with not much going on in-between. Water was warm.

Have a good one

Less Crowded




About the same as yesterday except with a northeast breeze (eddy?) on it. Knee to waist high inconsistent sets. 15 people out.

Kenny reports that the water temp is warmer than yesterday. With the crowd as small as it is, it's probably worth a go out but the wind is getting stronger as I write this so hurry up!

Have a good one

Timing the Sets

Sets are 15-20" apart; waist to chest high (if you're short). Absolute dead flat calm in between. Still, if you're patient


and find yourself in the right spot, there are some rides to be had. Check out Luke, "slotted" on this pretty nice left.

Or Clay (hey I'm just back from Hawaii) on this right.


Have a good one
