Despite the crowd...




It's still small. But it's Friday. It's glassy. And the water is close to 70. But I thought the whole point of surfing was to ride some waves. Not too much of that going on this morning.

Basically it's flat with some very inconsistent waist high, one wave sets. 20 guys out. It's only 30" off low tide so it's kinda drained and dumpy. A summer morning in San Diego.

The wet streets of Del Mars




Early morning showers have dampened Del Mar's thorough fares. And the south wind that usually accompanies those weather events is still here. That has put a wrinkle on the water and some crumble on the waves. Knee to waist high with long long waits.

Right now the reef is the only place with any waves at all with the rest of the spots showing some small, dribbling shore break. You may be wondering what happened to that south swell. Well, at 203 degrees its just sailing right on by.

But hey, it's low tide so who knows what the rising tide will bring.

Wind swell Wednesday




Small (knee to thigh), weak, scattered wind swell peaks up and down the beach. No wind, glassy conditions. Not much to ride out there this morning even if the occasional set wave manages to make it look enticing. Even the sweepers are not having much
luck. 7 people out in the line up.

Nevermore...




Small scale (knee to thigh high) sloppy surf this morning. NW breeze has put a bump and grind on the water and conditions are flirting with being poor overall. 4 people out. In a few words; not much shape, not much size. A fairly typical summer day here at 15th street.
