Not bad at all, should get much better with the tide. few non close outs this morning if you picked the right one. Should be fun later

Thursday 10am - Linda Mar, fair surfing

Clean waist to chest high walls, sunny, and the wind is only just now starting to blow the Chez Taco-mar flag to its usual onshore flutter. Got a fair number of nice glassy rights and lefts this morning between 730am-1030am.
And, most novel of all, I was delighted to see that it was crowded, in light of that 25000 lbs, 50 ft "dolphin" that seems to be dining around here nowadays. Safety in numbers

Thursday 9am - Linda Mar, fair surfing

Gorgeous sunny morning with no wind. Lots of short walled up rides, and if you pick the right spot you can get some nice long rides too. Water has smelled and tasted bad for the past week.

Thursday 9am - Linda Mar, fair surfing

Once again a nice day at LM. About 4X as much people out compared to yesterday spread up and down the beach. The "spot" that I was out yesterday looks to be smaller but saw a lot of people getting some long rides. Everywhere else on the beach looks to be closed out with some short shoulders. Waves are waist to chest high range again. Personally calling it a fair -.

Monday 9am - Linda Mar

Gorgeous morning at the beach. Surf was generally mediocre but still had some fun waist-high waves under the sun (smlm)

Poor-. Disorganized, junky all around mehness. Upside, wasn't windy and there's some sun. It's rideable but it ain't pretty. Plenty of fat, wobbly waist-chest high waves that close out. Caught one, headed to work.

Beautiful sunny skies and barely any wind. Crumbly but with plenty of chest-head high drops to be had and short sections. If you're lucky you can string a few reforms together into one long ride.

It surfed better than it looked. Onshore, warbly, double-peaks, I paddled out at high tide, and it seemed larger than I expected it to be, at least shoulder-high on the larger sets. I'd say quite a few waves were holding up, sometimes with pretty good shape. I must be easy to please.

Friday 11am - Linda Mar, poor surfing

Big thanks to Sticker, AG Frank, and for David's report yesterday because they motivated me to get in the water today. It's a warbly windslop SMLM, but I said to myself "Those guys would go." and I got rewarded with some fairly decent warbly windslop rides. Good energy in the water and it feels great to have surfed the last 5 days straight. Not quite Dale Webster, but very stoked. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thursday 2pm - Linda Mar, poor surfing

Heartbreakingly poor contrast from the past few sessions this week. Utterly anemic knee-high meageroonies, that are just that little increment bigger than "flat", making me somewhat question what to do, now that I'm already here. Onshore texture. Though there's some folks out there catching little ones, I haven't seen any one get a single good ride in 20 minutes. Painful. Gonna drive south a bit. OB was blown out chunkfunk. Need... waves...
