Still terrible spring kookslop at SFOB. But not getting blown up by terrorists or fertilizer made it wonderful. #stoked

The only thing that saves it from a poor- is the fact that it is marginally surfable... Make no mistake, it is bad. Waist to shoulder high gutless windswell closeouts.

In retrospect I should have taken more foam, and but really it is maintenance only.

"Thank you, I feel better now."

"I am giving it a poor+ and thought it was worthwhile if your expectations are not too high ..."

"It wasn't terrrrrrrible...but it wasn't good. Knocked a little rust off. "

"Man, it was terrrrrrrrible. Sorry, @cazart, if I missed an 'r'. :) Here's my silver lining ..."

"It gets worse. I saw a couple days last week where the whitecap far outweighed the blue wa ..."

Sunny warm morning with hardly even a hint of wind and pods of dolphins in the lineup. To me the water didn't seem any colder than its been the last few months, but of course that may have been because I spent just over 20 minutes paddling hard to break through to the outside. Waves were pretty disorganized at dawn and there was a moderate current. If I wasn't jonesing so badly, I probably wouldn't have bothered. When I came in, it looked like it might clean up, so if the wind holds off, maybe it'll get better.

":-)"

"its pretty crappy out there.. just saying."

"Can you be more specific mlanson...gutless windslop? Meager corners, if any? How crappy wa ..."

"I got in the water around 11 and it was pretty fun. WH-CH windswell peaks with light winds ..."

"Might have been sloppy but it was fun around noon and was way better then being on the job ..."

8@11s at SFOB was as brutal as it sounds. 20 minute paddle, OH-1.5x, thick, & breaking everywhere I wasn't. S winds not helping.

":-|"

"Damn Stick, I'm impressed you paddled out. The OB gods will reward you for your sacrifice ..."

"From the lot at 6:45, looked like there were decent waves on the outside. Paddled out and ..."

"Yeah, @scullbone, I think surfing allows me to express my masochistic side. But @fatnewt d ..."

"This is the time of year when I become insanely jealous of the S Cruz surfers. It's been g ..."

Tough paddle, strong current and some jumbled peaks here and there. Caught a couple that provided good face time and fun drops, then walked a mile back to my car

"snapped my leash and was on the fence as to whether it was worth going home and grabbing a ..."

"Absolutely identical session to @scullbone. Actually had a super easy initial paddle. Then ..."

"Ha, good sharing the lineup with you guys out there!"

"@scullbone, red & white board?"

"Yup!"

Looking pretty chunky out there. S winds are not helping.

"how about big and not ridable due to winds mucking it up."

""chunky" is old-school terminology for big and not friendly."

Long period starting to show, but wind is crumbling it. Rest up for travel tomorrow

"Yeah, went to look at it about 45 minutes ago and it was shit. Current looked brutal. Saw ..."

Drove up and down the beach; conditions really varied from spot to spot, even within a relatively short distance. Finally, at 7am, settled on an area that looked decent.
Lots of mushburgers, but some sets breaking on the outside had some juice if you were in the right spot.

"So much potential this morn, but the ocean was just uninspired. Too much tide, not enough ..."

"sticker, was the car parked in a beach lot or on the street?"

"Beach lot."

"Pillow point was pretty epic this morning. "

"Yep, smashed my right hand passenger window. If it's anyone on this site, I'd love to meet ..."

So glad OB has stopped its imitation of Fall. Hacked, swamped, dumpy, closed out dribblers everywhere. Just awesome. Only thing missing was a vicious current, but maybe by now the ebb has picked up momentum so you may get a little of that too! I'm truly amazed I had all that epic surf to myself!

"Forgot to mention it was rainy and cold too. Bet you're bummed you missed it!"

"Damnit. Day trip to San Diego. Unfortunately, only web surfing down here. "

7-8A. There's probably something out there to ride. I didn't find it, though.

"Dude, bad luck. Where I was it was OK from 7am and from about 8 onwards it glassed off and ..."

"Not sure where you were but I, and the guys around me, got some good ones. Haha! "

"@fatnewt...EXACTLY. "

"Not as good as yesterday but I had a great time. In the water 7:30 to 9:00, tons of great ..."

Clean HH OH. Calm by the time I got out. Lots of peaks. I'm giving it an extra bump because this was one of the few times when the waves seemed to come right to me and no one was around but the dolphins. Results may vary. Get it before the wind does!

"Agreed, I got some fun glassy ones this morning."

"Solid fair. Paddled out alone & then was soon accompanied by hordes that were helpfully se ..."

"i agree with sticker maybe even fair- depending on where u were at a given time. i was pa ..."

Overhead, clean and a whale.

Here's roughly what happened:

"Quote of the year: "I told you it was a fucking whale, let's go get it!""

"I guess I forgot something... "

A bit smaller than yesterday, but just as glassy. Fun shoulder to head high walls. Occasional lulls and a little hard to line up. Not too crowded where I was, which was nice and a bit of a surprise considering the conditions.

"stöked."

"Ditto for me. Fun when the waves came. Seemed better where I wasn't, especially on the i ..."

"Maybe I've become spoiled over the last couple of weeks, but this morn was kind of meh. Fu ..."

"More fun ( aka 'more waves') for me yesterday. Better winds today though....wooo, rever ..."

"if you ain't stoked today.... get wet! you will be !! i will take that ANY time in March. ..."
