Go paddle out. Small, glassy and some fun ones sneaking through.
"Good -" grading on the spring curve.

"yum yums"

"Observed: smiling faces."

"super fun. warm weather and offshore for a bit...bring it on, May. In other news, I rea ..."

"You guys caught good waves. Man they just sucked where I was. Damn. And (no shit) I saw ..."

"observed: whales"

WOW. That was insanely fun. Combo swell provided HH+ peaky wedges. The turquoise blue waters and warm sun was an added bonus. The crowd was light and folks were frothing. Surfed till I got noodle arms and legs were cramping. Stoked to da max!

Fair - / Poor +... Looked a bit more promising, but waves were sneaky & hard to track down. Conditions varied from soft & shoulder high to some throwing HH peaks. More waves on the inside, but plenty to be taken to the head as well.

All told, a good enough session. Had potential to be better, but really wasn't.

"Sounds like I didn't miss much this AM then. Off to the warm waters of mainland Mex!"

":-)"

"scull i 8 u right now. well hf we all will be thinking of those warm waters, good waves a ..."

"The doldrums of spring have caused me to see mirages in the lineup. Swore before I paddled ..."

"High wave count, short rides, and I think I briefly shared a peak with a guy who is angry. ..."

Size has bumped up for sure, but it's not any more organized than yesterday. Looked at it where the waves were OH, but I didn't have the time or the inclination to pay OBs gate fee to get out to 'em. Took the easier paddle on the smaller side and managed to line up a couple of HH lefts in addition to floppy closeouts. Nice warm day. No wind. No current. I say pick your spot and go paddle.

"wish I'd snagged one of the really good ones. managed to wrangle a couple of so-so's. "

"missed the cut, treadmill going out then I wondered why I made the effort in the first pla ..."

Sunny and warm, but definitely wind swell funky. Caught a few, then made one too many turns towards the end of my session and decided it wasn't worth battling through the slop. Shout out to @Platypus who pointed me in the right direction this morning, thanks! Think I saw him catch a little inside barrel! Whales going nuts today too. Definitely worth getting wet.

"Ditto :-) nice To see you this AM! Would have been nice to exit one of those barrels :-) ..."

"Yes, looks marginal, but certainly worth the paddle, I'm going in."

"I still don't understand how everybody knows who everybody is on this board. Am I the onl ..."

"Damn that's you scullbone? Holy shit dude you F*()# SHRED!"

"Also hi madpie :) We'll meet up one day."

Nice quickie out there. Did the ninth grade dance with a few pumps and headed home. Definitely spring out there but some size and albeit frequent swell. Worth the fight. Also on a borrowed fish so it was doubly awesome!

"Dawn patrol was fun (fair +). Small crowd and HH. With the right equipment, you could make ..."

"low tide at dawn patrol gave the waves SH feel, a lot of fun for a quiet, gray morning."

"We had two brazillians that didn't drop in. Obrigado!!!!!"

"Awesome from 9 to 12... somehow everything just lined up."

" is this a weather report? the surf was weak.( and I am a chick !)"

Lake Michigan. Would Eddie go? Not today. Suffered with two other die-hards this morning - epic.

"no one can doubt your commitment to sparkle motion."

Small, crumbly, onshore. Dark and cold. But, there is some 13s energy, and I had 9'2" of assistance. Caught a bunch from the outside through to the inside. As a result, I had a better session than I've had in a week. Worth the fight.

"yeh surprisingly I had some fun even on the shortie. Not a great day, but driving around p ..."

Wind was under control and the ONE peak at the beach was kinda working with the right foam. Some fun, some dolphins, and some Obama Surf Team Thursday action. Junior execs stayed home as they were hustling towards the weekend; That's why it was pretty good: The right people were out under the right conditions. I'm pretty beat now even though I only surfed for about an hour and half. Wave after wave after wave of tiny tasty taters wears a guy out (this alliteration brought to you and mlanson by Swanson).
Anyway, it's good to steal away sometimes. BTW, the lot looks like freakin Arrakis now. Crazy.

"so many tasty taters!"

"I've taken up sidewalk surfing after 20 years. The beach sucks this time of year, it just ..."

Hmmmmmm not sure what to say about this morning. Dawn was super glassy. And there were shoulder high (ish) waves, just something was missing. Despite the 4 @ 15 reading I saw, things were pretty weak and gutless. Wish I had the longboard, though it was definitely shortboardable. Conditions pretty much stayed that way though the winds started picking up a bit & putting some texture on the water (though not killing it).

Still had a fairly enjoyable session. Perhaps a bit better than some of the crap we've been having recently, but nothing special. Missed the sun...

""Weak and gutless." Yup. Got worse as the winds picked up & the tide rose & the crowds sho ..."

"I actually got more waves when the wind hacked it to crap. I guess that's my "Linda Mar cr ..."

Lovely morning, so-so surf. I had fun.

Observed: Whales, stoke reporters.

"Soft, soft. But the whales were cool. And, it's still hot out."

"Heh, that was pretty fun. And I guess we drifted to you. Ended the session patching up som ..."

"Wish I slept in, the only redeeming factor was the weather. "

"I had fun, even with less than perfect conditions. I got a nice ride which quite possibly ..."

":-)"

Im pretty sure a good portion of the SF surf community took a "long lunch" today. Sunny, calm, and peaky with mushy to occasional fun+ shoulders. Lots of stoke walking to the water (if you know what I mean) as well as in.
