Pushed off from the pocket beach headed to the point. Surf was small, very small and inconsistent. The point had the only consistent rideable waves and that was stretching it. In addition, it was packed. School's out but surf school is in, or at least it looked like it.
I hung a 180 at the point and headed out to sea for an offshore paddle down to Chapeauville. Was sweatin' like a soaker hose inside my 4/3 which I had put on after seeing what I thought was a set of decent waves at
Sarges. It was, but it was the only one I saw in two plus hours.Diddled around at main peak for a while, trying to catch some teeny fatties that rolled into about six inches of water before breaking. Then headed back to Sarges. Snapped a shot of the tree with the sun behind it...my art quotient for the day. Grabbed a couple ankle snappers at YH before hooking into the only bona fide wave I saw all day. It had to be real 'cause the wind just blew through my hair for the whole ride. Other than that, the ankle snappers just put you into the kelp line.
After the two hour, three and a half mile pleasure paddle, I'd had enough and disengaged via the cold water walk across the low tide grassy reef as the afternoon light began fading towards dusk.
