Southerly Flow

One of the very last south swell impulses registered on the buoy at 9AM yesterday. Now it's all local wind swell. No use cracking it to beat the wind because the southerly flow that's in place is generated by large areas of low and high pressure ridging along the CA coast. This is forecast to stay in place for a few more days. Cold temps. Water is still pretty cold, not yet consistently past the 55 degree mark at the buoy. Surfed the quad and got a bunch of take-offs and mostly close outs. Some faces though and a couple racy walls at the end which made me glad. Not crowded, mostly longboarders with only two other shortboarders out. The kids were sleeping in.
