Fair around 9 am but poor by noon when I got out. Very variable, but most consistent from TB to the showers. North end had a few nice waves early on, but the paddle:fun ratio was all out of whack.

I went for a few of those mid-beach close-outs that @lkilpatrick mentioned without too much glory. Paddled down toward boatdocks and found a gang of people working a nice waist-high wave. Lots of fun up there!

Overall, a beautiful morning. Would have opted for a post-session nap on the beach if I didn't have to knock things off the work to-do list. Should be a really nice afternoon on the beach though.

There are a few decent shoulders in the chest to head high range if you can be in the right spot. Closeouts as usual but low wind offshore and clean lined up conditions don't suck. I am paddling out.

Dawn patrol sweep from LM to HMB this morning. LM had maybe 6 guys suiting up but the 2 guys who were already out there at 6:45 looked to be getting worked taking solid OH closeouts on the head with little reward to show for it.

Montara looked way better than I have seen it in a long time but there was nobody out. Burly DOH waves would occasionally peel for a nice left at the north end channel. The paddle out didn't look impossible.

as expected, lindy is a blown out mess. But I've been out of the water for 6 weeks and I'm jonezin. Heading south to check out the jetty. Poor--

SMLM strong onshore brings funky texture: chop + slop. A few bouncy, sectiony rides for folks in the right place. Cloudy.

Not so hot at LM this morning. Close-outs from Denny's to the northern tip of the beach. A few ridable moments around boatdocks. For desperadoes and maint. sessioneers only.

Best part of the day was a great view of a sun-ring that appeared mid-morning:

it's a sad state of affairs, winds up, chilly, low tide business. there are small waves that are doable here and there and the sun is out, desperados only.

SMLM small, ruffled and very brown. You'd have it to your self, but There's no one on it 4 a reason.

New swell filling in with HH sets across the beach and plus sets at the north end. Stiff offshores and fairly clean conditions with steady rain. At 7:30 the tide was just too low to section up, so most everything was closing out.
More tide could help with that.

This morning we will put emphasis on the word "texture". It is indeed textured, smaller than yesterday and I am currently looking for those workable inside corners we hear so much about.
I will head into the parking lot and collect some accounts of the surf conditions. I always find these first-person accounts our culture's most important and thought-provoking.

Dirty water, disorganized surf, and lots of people. My favorite! Jostled around until I got one good, HH left and called it a day.
