good surfing conditions at San Mateo - Linda Mar

1852
Thursday 10am - San Mateo - Linda Mar, good surfing

Far ###### started to shape up a little after 8. I was lucky to be there with 1 other guy when it really turned on (or did it go off?). Very fun morning.

Sun, glass, left left left!

Sometimes it goes off and sometimes it turns on, but then sadly, sometimes it just plain turns off. Going to have to get an after noon sesh when I'm done with work. This weather is freaking great!

Yep, I saw it as I was wrapping up my session. It was also working great last night. I guess its due to the south swell.

Yes! I got lucky @Jesse. And yes @friscohio, you should hit the beach this afternoon for the sun alone.

Looks like Skip shot some pics near the pumphouse this morning:

Tides have an impact at Lindy. Consider that when you're trying to find your 'magic hour'. Also, south swells rarely get in the cove. If at all, they hit in the ###### by the rocks unless there is more west in them (which is rare for the early S swell season).

Given Lindy's ability to turn what should be a good swell at a good tide into a whomping closeout...I think "magic hour" is being used to refer to anything that isn't that. :D

Not that you aren't right on and much appreciated.

Were you making a "glassy" knoll joke with that second one?

My log is still getting repaired, awww. I need a backup log.

@Kaiser is dead-on. The tide and wind were working well together for that spot at the north-end.

@crypto, I about spat out my coffee when I saw that ninja kick. Lieberman lol!

@tracey @crypto - yes, you need 3 logs. One will always be in the shop. You still have a primary and a backup. (bonus points awarded for a 4th old-skool log to get you into the logjam (bonus bonus points awarded for a 5th half-finished unglassed homemade log in the rafters of your garage. You'll get to that project eventually.)).

Yeah I'd like at least a beat up longboard for friends/cowells/extra crowded lindy/extra crowded bo. I love my Stewart tho, it's so hard NOT to ride it. I need to find a few other boards that fit me that well so I can spend more time fussing in the morning over which to take. :)

(A perfect for me fish would be nice)
