Short period windswell in the mix




The windswell is helping to break up the long southerly walls producing more peaky conditions. Mostly waist to shoulder and well overhead on the sets. Fair shape and form. No wind, hot sun and well over 60 people out. Look for the crowd to increase and the swell to decrease over the weekend.

Good swell direction




Clean conditions. Mostly chest to shoulder; overhead on the sets. Some lulls but it's pretty consistent for a south swell. Shape is fair+ but the sets are closed out board breakers. About 40 people out; fairly well spread out. Looks like 11th street has the largest surf. Crowd is less there. The sun is coming up over the hills and the tide is filling in.

Life is good.

Hard to describe




I think funky is the best word for it. The wind blew hard all yesterday. That put a crinkle on the water for this morning. That crinkle has put a crumble on the surf. There is surf. Sometimes big surf. Long southerly walls of head and a half surf. Mostly walled up and not too many shoulders.

In between sets it's mostly chest to shoulder high. Crowd has thinned out; only about 15 people out.

Are your arms tired yet?




If they are there's no relief in sight. You can expect a whole lot more arm burn with the new swell about to push in. Plus the old swell isn't quite finished.
Not as clean today and the waves are walled up and warbled. Surf is in the shoulder to head to overhead range this morning. It's actually too much for 15th street to handle but about 20+ people are giving it a go anyway.
