poor surfing conditions at San Mateo - Linda Mar

663
Tuesday 8am - San Mateo - Linda Mar, poor surfing

New swell filling in with HH sets across the beach and plus sets at the ######. 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.

Howling offshores and beautiful full closeouts from 8-10. The long period swell was a luxury, tho a peeling shoulder was pretty hard to find. Waves ranged from 4ft to well overhead with sets fairly consistently HH. I agree, a higher tide might help, tho the building size today might be more than Lindy can take. Worth a look certainly if you're out. It was much more organized and manageable than I'd expected.

Saw a buddy in the lot who mentioned the beach was closed for contamination. Eww. Extra hot shower recommended after.

I was swimming like a pig in....
HH closeouts mean steep, relatively difficult yet low consequence (I'll eat those words later I know it) waves. I tried and failed, and succeeded on some. You have to be in it to win it.

The water is poop brown. The south east winds were strong this morning but I think it just switched and it probably isn't worth it anymore. I kinda had fun at boat docks.
