So, how do you define "flat"?

Well, I'd say that this morning is the perfect illustration of the definition of flat. Ankle high shore break and that's it. It's also very very quiet; as in lacking the sound of breaking waves. A little bit of texture on the water; calm wind. Perfect day for a long paddle or kayaking. Temps in the mid 70's are predicted at the coast so get out and enjoy it.

Have a good one

Desperate Surf

These things are desperately trying to be waves and there are 3 people desperately trying to surf them.

The surf is running slightly larger this morning with calf to knee high lines breaking right on shore. But this is more energy than we've seen in a while. Fair sea surface conditions due to a touch of morning sickness ripple. A 6.0 high tide is due in at 8:30am. Air temps in the upper 40's and water temps in the low 60's. Me, I'm waiting for the sun and that forecast 70 degrees.

Words fail me

It's true. One picture is worth a thousand words. So here's two:

Stay Frosty

Conditions and shape wise it's very very clean. But with a mere 24 hours since the last rain and runoff; it's very very dirty. Not anything I'd want to be in but there are 6 or 7 people out anyway.

Knee to waist high surf breaking in waist deep water with fair shape. Steady NE wind has knocked down all of the chop and smoothed out the wave faces. Besides the high poo index its really cold. Bitingly cold. Can't feel your fingers cold. Speaking of cold, the annual Del Mar penguin plunge is set for 11am today. So if you like arctic air and cold, dirty water...

Have a good one
