Icy Cold

Waters are still chilly. High tide was around 5' at 7am over the weekend. Not great conditions for epic surf. The skies were overcast, which made it all the colder when in the water.

There weren't too many people out, probably because the read the swell report saying that there wasn't one. The high tide in the morning had something to do with the thin crowds and I am not complaining there. We surfed on the south side of the normal spot because it was breaking a bit better.

I brought out the longboard because of the knee to waist high swell report. The sets had some decent waves, about shoulder high or so. I kooked a few trying too hard to turn the board. Just had to be a little more patient and make the bottom turn a little later. The adjustment paid off with a beautiful right that even reformed on the inside. Great ride that made me realize why I was out in chilly waters instead of a warm bed. What a rush!

No surf on Sunday due to rain. The forecast calls for much of the same this coming weekend.
