Ugly, ugly, ugly. Shoulder to head high closed out junk, much larger sets. A giant,seething, churning rip (from in front of Jakes north to 50 yards past the ramp south and out a quarter mile) has turned the inside to a toilet bowl of chop, white water and treacherous currents. There has to be a better place to surf today. Calm winds; moderately bumpy sea surface. 3 people out; a few more trying to get out but not having much luck. Tide is low and will fill in to a 4.1 high at noon.

Starting to line up. Forerunners of new swell are beginning to show. Shoulder to head high; larger sets. Shape is a tad walled up with some pick and choose corners but mostly closing out. Slightly rippled sea surface; not crisp, not clean. A moderate crowd of 30; trying to get on it before it jumps up to the predicted 10-12 foot stuff. Which Del Mar does not handle so well. Tide is low but has begun its flow to a 4.7 high at 11:30am.

Small and close in. Waist to chest high with good sea surface conditions. Larger set waves. More focused than yesterday with some decent corners to swing into. Light offshores and a light crowd (10). Tide is on the rise to a 6.9 high at 10am then back out to a -0.4 at 5pm.

Not as wild and crazy. Swell has dropped and the period has shortened up. Chest to shoulder high with occasional head high sets. Consistent; no lulls. Some doubling up. Kind of soft and a challenge to get into at this point in the tide. But it's looking eminently more surfable than the last week and a half. Good sea surface conditions; no wind. 12 guys out. 6.3 high tide at 9:30am; ebbing to a -0.8 at 4:30pm, so a good walking beach this afternoon.
