Updates

Things have slowed a bit since Monday's session. Tuesday was good, a bit smaller but waves none-the-less. I was too thrashed from Monday's three hour session to get out though. Suffice it to say that everything was sore. I took a day off from physical things except for a nice walk with the wife.

With all the rain and runoff we've had so far this winter Beginners Cove has a huge sandbar built up right in the middle of the cove. This is creating the coveted longboard wave that the place is known for. Many are on it, let me say it again...many.

Wednesday and today look even smaller surfwise. High tides in the morning are swamping just about everything. Very few people out surfing. Yesterday's afternoon/evening winds were south and southeast making for small, sloppy surfing. Today doesn't look a whole lot better.

Forecasters are calling for a nice weekend pulse and sunny weather for the next 7 - 10 days. Sat pics and animations show two nice storms moving across the storm track towards the Gulf. Water vapor sat pic shows a nice long fetch of wind aimed at Hawaii and the CA coast, so it looks promising. The weekenders will score again.

(As of 0838 today's date eBlogger in Firefox is not letting me post pics and none of the shortcuts work. Will update when they fix it.)
