Wednesday 10am - Half Moon Bay, fair- surfing

Yesterday evening the Jetty seemed like the only option for getting in the water and having a chance at some decent surf. It turned out to be alright with some fun size and occasional corners to work. Only a few folks in the water around sunset. Here are some shots.

HMB was FUN today at kook-pipeville. Long period meant some waiting, but there were some fun & zippy ones to be had. Nice sunny & warm weather to boot.. and no wind!

While slightly cleaner than a few other spots we checked, this particular breaking wave was still offering up plenty of short period shiftyness. It was a bit more work than our usual haunts, but worth it to snag a few chest and occasional shoulder high waves with a surfable bit of shoulder. The churning inside felt like winter, the disorganized outside was summer for sure.

We drove everywhere before finding a few peaks which could actually support surfing activities. We also found all the other surfers. Rated Fair- cause deetr0n sliced up his neck and needed stitches. Poor guy :(

Was out from noon to 2. Long waits, but the occasional nuggets were worth it.. Plus the weather was nice.

Jumped in by the twin kook pipes this afternoon and boy did it feel good to get wet again. Some fun corners to be had in the right spot at the right time. The last round of storms seem to have dredged the hell out of the beach. There were a lot more rocks and there was a huge exposed pipe on the Mexico end that I've never seen before - surrounded by mud slicks where there used to be a lot of sand.

Checked a bunch of spots from Pacifica down through HMB. Not a whole lot happening, unless you like wild whitewater and dumping close-outs. Settled on something small and somewhat glassy and found a few moments of fun.

Sunny, offshore breeze, not-too-chilly!

secret spot with no parking. lots of boats in the water and cameras on the bluff. biggish (15 - 18 maybe) but very inconsistent. only saw three rides while i was there. then the marine layer came down and the show was over. fun to watch for a few.

Wednesday 10am - Half Moon Bay, poor+ surfing

Picked off some okay KH-WH stuff. Not a whole lot of consistency. Low expectations helped me out quite a bit and the sunshine helped, too. Some dipshit tied their dog to a rock or a log on shore and the poor confused pup got loose and was running all over the highway. Cars stopping with me trying to grab it. A guy helped catch the dog and someone alerted the dude in the water. He paddled in to get the poor thing. Kook move, dude. Not cool. Other than that, I had a Fair minus time in Poor plus conditions.
