poor surfing conditions at San Francisco - Ocean Beach

395
Tuesday 6am - San Francisco - Ocean Beach, poor surfing

Tuesday morning brings us more of the same. Overcast skies and a light to moderate wind out of the west. We've got a nice little groundswell in the water producing overhead waves but these are almost completely funked up by the local onshore conditions. It's a premonition of summer.

just left the ###### and i'm in a horrible mood. @sticker has correctly pointed out that a significant attitude adjustment will be required from this point forward.

A premonition of summer except for the swell in the water. Remember, summertime is flat and onshore, not just onshore.

There are waves out here at OB, just need to what street to check. Not good waves, but something to surf.

@mr_poop_head: glad to hear that someone's glass is half full this morning.

I drove the beach, @mr_poop, and yeah, you're exactly right. Definitely not good but surfable in a summahtime sort of way.

So it begins....
I have it on highest authority that next fall may very well be epochal.
I'd encourage all of you to start training this spring, for what may quite possibly be the apex of your surfing career or simply the end; for the remainder of your lives all that is ecstatic, all that wrenches your soul with terror will originate from how you handled what is to come.
Will others join me in preparation?
The separation of our clan will not be gentle or kind, though the seeds of glory lie within.

Oh god, it does look springlike. Freaking out.

What's the problem? I love winds out of the west

...just need to be on the East Coast to take advantage of them. Road trip?

Is it too early to call this Febrewary (a la Crypto's comment) or just Feblueweary?

@kok - Winds were actually offshore this morning. Just ocean is torn up from all the onshores last night.

If it is the start of spring, then that means it pays to wake up early....
