poor surfing conditions at San Francisco - Ocean Beach

2661

Friday 10am - San Francisco - Ocean Beach, poor surfing

You may already know this, but pretty terrible conditions at the Beach. Despite decent groundswell energy that doesn't seem to be cluttered by the noise of windswell and relatively light winds, surf was jumbly, crumbly, and closed out. If you found a shoulder a hacked up sectiony ride could be had.

Pluses: Empty lineup (shocker... the other side of the Beach's self-regulation), warm water, beautiful cloudy skies, good exercise.

Pretty ugly, and you needed beer goggles. Never the less, I had a good time. Was laughing under water a few times cuz the jackass company I keep :)

the beer goggles comment was followed within minutes by the biggest cleanup set of the day.

"u need beer goggles this morning." "it's about time for a plus set." "oh man, outside" ...boom, boom, boom.

was cleaning up nicely as the tide started going out. loved the lack of crowds, and wondering if the sea lion with its head missing on the beach had something to do with it. loved the guy i paddled out with that called the 50/50. all in all, good morning out there, and on the cam, looks like people are having some fun right now.

Out at 9:30am and looked like crap. Better than advertised and only improved from there. Glass off occurred for a slot after 11am and man were there some nice peaks coming through. Up by Alaska was the call.
