Surf Reports for Half Moon Bay (SMHM)

I found a peaceful easy peeling spot this morning. WH with the occasional CH rolling through. Real glassy, no wind, and sunshine is just what I needed. If your looking for mellow waves so some parts can heal, this is a good place to look. It was a drop down, up down, kick out good time.

Smaller Waves, Cleaner conditions, Less Offshore.
Was planning on posting it as a tonight's set, but I saw a right with my name on it, so I paddled out.

Some zippy rides to be had this morn at HMB. Leave the longy at home because the short boards are rippin it. In between closeouts there are some sick corners to be had. A little face time and kick out. The set waves are where I found the most success. I also got deposited in the Bank of Sands a few times by some of the bigger meaner ones. Pick and choose wisely and you'll have fun. Now off to watch some NFL and drink home brewed amber ale. Good times!

Sloppy Overhead surf, there is a few gems out there but you need to be in the right spot.

King's tide didn't funk up the surf as much as I thought it would have. Shoulder high set waves with an unfortunate side wind. Still some workable shoulders if you sat in the right spot. Great way to start the day. Pics for reference, had to rush to work, couldn't wait for a set to roll through.

Luck of the draw at the jetty this morning. Progressively slowed down more as the tide built up but some decent HH+ rides could be had IF you were in the right spot. Just me and my buddy out for maybe an hour and then 3 more guys were heading out as we paddled in. Beautiful morning out there.

Surfed this morning from 8:00-10:30am. Foggy, calm, and surf was waist to shoulder high with some nice peaks during the high tide. By 10:30, the tide had dropped enough to funk everything up and the fog was clearing and the wind was getting on it.

Had a super fun sesh at OB this morning. So stoked, I then went home grabbed the girlfriend and headed down to HMB for an afternoon of glassy peelers in the sunshine. What a great day in the ocean!

HH+ at the beaches, clean offshore with a bit of a mushy take off due to the high tide, but walling up and making a fast line. Some outside sets in the 1-2ft OH range. Get it before the wind comes up, the dropping tide should help it.
