Nice morning out there,mostly sunny skyes with almost no wind. Things started a little slow but got better with the dropping tide after 9, SH+ lines and only a few guys on the lineup, long lulls but all in all a fun, glassy sesh.
Went to a surfshop and got a rip curl f-bomb 5/4 for 280$, double stoked

very fun morning in SC. better conditions than yesterday with favorable winds and more swell. went to somewhere else location and was glassy and mellow (pic1) but crowded.
drove to the next location and was plenty of waves, not all of them were workable but between closeouts a nice, hollow and glassy right made its appereance (pic2). suited up and gave it a go, with patient was able to catch lots of open shoulders on the 5ft range. N winds for offshore conditions with some spray, mostly cloudy skies early and then sunny, stoked +
i'll say a solid good, but you can be the judge

Agree with reports below. Long lulls but some nice energy when the set came through. Got there early on the morning and was windless (N) with waves around 4-6 ft, racy corners and hollow shape but a little walled up where I was, no great but definitively good fun. Stoked!

sunny and offshore early on the morning with a bulding tide and good size S swell.
got there around 7 and somewhere else location was packed, moved to the next sandbar and was empty and lined up.
some close outs for sure but on the right spot at the right time was solid hollow green rooms. lots of nuggets this morning.
took the first pic before sesh and the second one when i was leaving. stoked!

sunny morning at SC with light offshore winds building tide and blue skies. looks like everybody tried to avoid high tide, main peak was crowded at 7. lefts are not my thing, grew up surfing lots of rights in Peru,and rights are always my first choice, but everytime the conditions are like today(nice and EMPTY lefts with crowded rights)i give it a try.even knowing ill eat some of those tubes. glad to make that decision, mother ocean delivered. ate some of them of course and found the hollow exit in others as well, very very fun on that empty peak. 3-4 ft , maybe 5 on the better sets. no @ lkilpatrick scale here
i'll say good - because it could have used a little more size. but i'll let you be the judge, took 3 pics of the same wave before sesh.
very stoked!

great morning in SC, diferent than yesterday, today the top spots were inconsistent and beachbreaks were solid.hit a spot early before low tide, and had a blast.
5 ft maybe 6 , very glassy surface thanks to the northerly winds,very long shoulders and hollow spiting barrels, all that under mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures, surfed it until i couldnt feel my arms, three hours there and was getting better as i was leaving with the tide push, but some texture with the winds shifting more from the the W.
good times!

I though would be epic, but I think it was too much swell for this beachbreak this morning.7 ft glassy and hollow, only some of them delivered long and open shoulders, a lot of them were closing out fast making things not too good with an intense paddling.was there for an hour an only took 7-8 waves, fortunately on the right time/right place to score a couple of big spitting shacks, that totally made my day, last wave was sick but couldn't make out of the barrel and ended up over the rocas, luckily nothing bad happened but was enough to send me home. Stoked!
Top spots are going off if you don't care to share it with hundreds of angry folks.

low expectations were nicely exceeded, mix of dropping NW windswell and quickly building south groundswell.when i hit the beach around 7:30 was still drained and with some morning sickness, 4-5 ft semi clean. suited up anyways and mother ocean delivered, bulding tide push and northerly winds after 8 start to make their work, south swell filled very quickly and start to offer 5-7 ft waves with some plus on sets, brown barrels due to the recents rain, and offshore winds for chocolate bowls with some texture, but very very hollow. couple guys joined the lineup after 9 , both break their boards on the gnarly shorebreak pound, feel bad for them, besides that, lots of stoke untill 10:30 that the wind turned into onshore and beach got empty. looking for more fun down here the next several days.stoked!

checking the buos last night, i knew would be an ocean beach morning before the tide kill it. hit the beach at sunrise and couple parts of the beach weren't working, kept driving and found a better sandbar, didn't look that nice from the shore, but on the lineup the waves were glassy(thanks to the NE winds) size was head high and the tide was still low offering some racy, hollow and sometimes short / sometimes long shoulders.
got a couple ones that totally made my day, glassy 5ft with green room in-green room out.
nothing spectacular, but good enough to fill my stoke.
after few months surfin the south shore, feel great to be back at lady ob,stoked

definately SC does not miss winter.
offshore conditions thanks to the N winds, solid groundwell and a dropping tide all working together made a great morning.
the sun was out, but surprisingly not a lot of surfers, we were only 3 on this spot, and around 7 guys on the main peak, all this around 8-10:30, beach got packed after 11.
the very small parking was a party, all smiles and hand shakes, no angry locals, lots of stoke in the air!
go surf!

Beautiful sunny morning in SC. Surfed a spot south of town with 3 other folks, from 7 to 9.
Solid lines delivered open shoulders and nice wedges at the end with 6- 7 ft waves, northerly winds helped a lot to make things hollow and with lots of spray, droping tide helped a lot also.
Stoked! Surf!

hit the beach around 3, and went to location turtle 1 and was very dissapointed, glassy but inconsistent and small,probably 3-4 ft.
moved to the next location and found more waves still not too much energy, kept driving hoping that the last one would be working, and damn, that was WORKING, what a big diference with the other parts of the beach.6 ft on sets plenty of lines coming, with hollow , glassy, long sections,a little of short period on some of them, but very fun and plenty of almonds, got even better around 4:30 with less tide, and even glassier conditions.not so easy paddling , but totally worth my trip, since i moved to the south bay, SC has been my main source of waves, but i really have missed a classic ob winter afternoon like today, had a blast ,very stoked, thank you lady sfob

another beautiful, mostly sunny, afternoon at SC. Droping tide, building swell and light offshores delivered solid waves everywhere in/and/or around town.
headed to the #### side, and saw a spot that dont usually break, working very nice, with spitting barrels,but very crowded, kept driving and found another spot, working good but still a little swamped for the tide.EMPTY
suited up with the feeling that today could be one of those days that you never forget.
indeed, got super glassy , so glassy that was hard to see the waves in constrast with the sky, mirror surface, a 6 ft wall of water hitting the rocks,then open a super wedgy shoulder, spitting as hell, blue shacks non stop.almond behind almond,with a hair dry paddle that made the things even better.
muy bueno! stoked, very stoked.
in another note..... just got a wetsuit rip curl " insulator " 5/4 and works great (320 $) even better than a more expensive excel i had last season, very recomended.

A beautiful sunny afternoon, with light winds from the north, and a dropping tide.
Solid swell delivered 5-7 ft waves, and maybe 8 on big sets. ocasional close outs here and there, but plenty of hollow and racy shacks were had. a great way to start 2011.

Delayed report from yesterday.
A dropping swell and easing winds offered some nice, fun size waves,but definately mellow and small, 3-4 ft and a few 5 ft on the better sets. Very satisfied , after a great week of waves down here, best way to end up a good year for myself.
Glad that I joined the "stoked" community this year, and looking forward already for more good waves, great footage,funny and interesting rants, and of course more and non stop stoke.
Happy new year everyone , be safe.

Wow. went to the #### side with low expectations, got there at 3:30 just right after hight tide, fortunately wasnt that high, the onshores were very light, for fairly clean conditions.
i hit my favourite spot and looks like the rain has moved a lot of sand the last days, and the waves were breaking into a perfect sandy bottom.no more dealing with rocks on, no scary late drops.
6-7 ft right wedges, plenty of shacks to be had, a few MAGIC sets offered spiting barrels and everyone got pitted(so pitted) all this under a beautiful sunset.only a 6 folks on the water incluiding myself.
no cranky locals, no imaginary dogs, pure STOKE
