Playback from this Morning at 15th Street

Looking North.  There was some size to it.

As most of you know by now, the surf was up in San Diego today.  I spent a few hours at 15th street this morning checking it out and grabbing a few frames.  I got there early, so early that there just weren't enough available photons to capture Ian's incredible left on the reef; it was one of the best of the morning.  A big, fat, juicy 8 footer peeling down the reef; what a sight.

Anyway, here are some images I did get once the sun came over the hill.  Enjoy.

Leaning into it.

A snappy 6 footer at Tres Palms

Late take off.....didn't make it.

Despite the crowd, this turned into a great left hander for this guy.

It's here!

You want it, you got it! Head high with head and a half sets. Really thick, heavy waves. Good surface conditions, hardly any wind. Long lulls so if you time it right you can get out without getting thumped too badly; but then again, just when you think you've made it to the line up you could be looking into the face of some monster clean up sets.

Shape is not that great; walled up with some pick off corners here and there. Lots of people on each wave. 30 to 40 guys out. Have fun!

Have a good one

Wait for it, wait for it

Not yet. No swell this morning. About the same as yesterday, thigh high rollers breaking way inside with poor shape.

Clean surface conditions, easterly flow with about 10 guys out. If you were out Sunday then you know exactly what it's like today. High surf alert begins at 5 pm today so I'll check back later to see what's up.

Have a good one

Pretty Bleak

Knee to waist high left overs. Clean surface conditions with a hint of offshores and high tide. 3 people out. Overall, weak, inconsistent and poor shape. Looks like it's shaping up to be a nice day here in San Diego; not a cloud in the sky.

Have a good one
