Nah. Whether it was the south wind or some other oceanic juju, I don't know but it was a mess. Paddled over to seadrift chasing some phantom wave: junk. Paddled back over to groin and caught a few bumpy, sectiony rides. Showed promise when the wind dipped.

"Oh no! Greacen it's all about the south wind at lindies. I'm bummed u didn't get some..."

"I hit it right after you. It was pretty mush/crumble with not much energy, but I got to b ..."

"Phantoms, chop, wind-blown chunks o'jellyfish, bumpy groins (yecch!) - I just see you putt ..."

Hit it briefly with the beau from 5:30 to 6:45. Knee-high closeouts begging for a Softop, which 2 Mile happily provided for him at the last minute. Woulda stayed out for longer, but it was his first time in 20 years and I forgot how easily you tire when you're new. I'm proud; he caught a few belly-rides and I could swear I saw a silly grin ;)

After turkey din-dins at Coast Cafe, we settled into a quaint room at the Grand Hotel and should be able to surf again at dawn before heading back home. I was all cranky and sick earlier, and now I feel like a new man. Marin will do that to you!

Sunny, glassy, knee-to-waist-high rollers exceeded expectations. Still gonna give it a poor because it's a looooong wait between ridable sets.

Hunted the elusive south-swell this morning. Waist-high & infrequent on 'the patch' at high tide. A bit o'wind to paddle through, but f you can catch one there are a few fun sections to connect. Gonna give it a poor based on frequency. Sunny, fun morning overall!

This morning's very low tide revealed most of the rocks in 'the patch'. Outside the big rock, there were some fun waist-high peelers rolling over murky, VERY cold water. Sheesh that was cold. Some fun, long rides making section after section.

The breeze was offshore and pretty stiff. Probably held up the faces a bit. Definitely required some extra oomph to get into the wave.

"On my way to the Bo as of this posting. Think I'll just do a photo op since the water's so ..."

Surfed 'the patch' this beautiful, sunny morning with a small gang of super-nice, super-stoked surfers. Fun waist-high rollers in the sun. Lots of waves for everyone. Saw Tracey tear up several nice waves and impress the whole group. What a great way to start the day.

On the way back over the hill, we saw a bunch of stunning classic roadsters driving north, thought about turning the car right around...

"Cold water, warm sun. Good vibes too. "

"Yeah it was chilly in the AM for a bit, I wore my fuzzy hat and mittens for the ride up. W ..."

does SR have a radio button for "spring"? small, weak, and crumbly at the Bo. Beautiful sunshine though...

Surfed the patch at MCBL from about 1:30 to 3 today, and it was about as good as Bolinas gets. Sunny with nonstop chest high rollers. Fun!

"Sunny & nice too? Sounds like a patch-a-licious treat. "

"Yeah, we felt pretty lucky to get such a nice day *and* nice surf."

Fair- conditions due to beautiful weather, warmish water, no crowd, and being able to catch wave after wave. Of course catching wave after wave and getting in a good ride are different. Waves in the 1-3ft range breaking close to shore would inspire a poor on most days, but all and all, very nice friday afternoon. Had low expectations, had big fun.

"amazing how low expectations can really improve a surf, and warm water and weather don't h ..."

"I must have just missed you. I went out around 6pm hoping for the wind to die down and the ..."

"We were out around 1:30-4/4:30ish. It was pretty itty bitty and with the lowering tide the ..."

"i was there too, from about 3:30-6. shortboarding so a friend could use my longboard, but ..."

Some went South to look for waves -- but Jesse R. and I went North to Bolinas. Hoping for good, got fair (with conditions deteriorating by the time I exited the water around 8:30 am). Still fun. Bolinas was beautiful with the sun shining and the waves relatively clean. Plus, I tried out my new board -- which surfed as well as I had hoped. All in all, a great way to spend the morning. Hope you all have a good day and get in the water ....

"after RMK left I drifted in the shore break for a while and then paddled to the patch wher ..."

Good morning from Wharf Rd. Tide's still going out, MCBL is tiny+crumbly. Looks like I'll be paddling out alone :) http://flic.kr/p/7MyBEr

"Sounds like a great Monday morning. "

The Bo' was fun and warm with everybody spread out from the Patch to the Channel. Not too many, & plenty of knee to chest high sets to go around, but such a beautiful day to be at the Beach. Lots of sunbathers getting their melanoma started.

Seems that Wednesday & Friday's are Ladies Day at the Bo' since most of the Patch crowd was Female, and some good longboards too. Just an observation.

"Us ladies do love days that end in y, 'specially at the Bo"

Today was more blown out than yesterday, but there were many good waves to be had right in front of the boat ramp and near the channel. Perfect for long boarding, saw quite a few toes on the nose. Am now nursing 2-day surfing muscle aches :)
