numbers on the buoys, but for some reason it just wasn't doing it. I held off on dawn patrol in favor of waiting for the lower tide. In the almost two hours I was out, I experienced only one set of three-plus waves. Everyone was a bit disappointed, hoping for something with a little more juice. C'est la vie! Maybe we're all just getting a bit spoiled after last weekend's macker.However, Mash and Mikey B were getting out from dp as I was getting in, and they reported that it was good and, watch out for the sneaker sets. I never saw one but the buoy data supports their claims.
Weather was great though, clear and sunny, temps in the low 60's. Water is cold at 55 degrees if you ask me. Surfed in the 4/3 though and was comfortable. (Let's hear it for solar gain!) Kelp was kinda rough, it's almost impossible to get through the inside sections on the smaller waves.
Lots of friends surfing today. John, Andy, Andy, Dave, Sam, Tim, Sean, Mikey, Mash just to name nine or so. Can't complain. There will be waves (maybe not great waves, but waves none the less) through the weekend and into Monday.
