Warming Trend with Wind Swell




The Arcata-SF pressure gradient measured 6MB (millibars) this morning creating gale force winds north of SF and sizable wind swell. Got a few this morning at T8 although the swell is disorganized with double-ups flattening out and set waves breaking impossibly too far out to catch. Needed a longer board but am having too much fun on the quad fish to give it up, even for a session. Got a good pic of Zacky going left.

  2. A little fun, a little frustrating. Today (Tuesday) was more fun, more rides, more crowded. I was surprised to read you got skunked unless you're too close to the wind (north of the Bay area). Hey...you get plenty though, and empty too!
