Any day you get to surf with whales is pretty darn okay in my book. They're about 200 yards off shore and spouting out their location. Fun to watch during the lulls. There were some flashes of fun with some waves linking up the reforms for longer rides. The bigger sets gave a little more to work with, but not much time before closing out or just flabbing out. Fairly sunny.

"Had a pretty dang good time towards the big end, pretty consistent long lefts, only had to ..."

"agree with above- plus hardly anyone out from 730-9am"

For awhile there, it was pretty fun. Amidst the closeouts were some nice, somewhat chubby, faces. As usual, the bigger end had more excitement. A little chop and wonk, but some good rides. Sunshine is trying to poke through, but it ain't happenin.

"This report needs more OLB."

"OLB has a chubby face too"

"Val?"

"4th LM session in 4 days, the wind did not give me many other options but I have to say I ..."

Some decent conditions although a little soft for the most part. Some good shoulders here and there. Nice current keeping people honest. I finally gave in and did the full tour from one end to the other. Found some fun along the way.

After spending a couple days beside a barrel (bucket), it was nice to spend a little time *in*side a barrel (sorta). Sunshine, OH and an easy paddle out was a nice way to be welcomed back after a nasty bout of food poisoning. Felt like I was gonna die at one point. Some soft ones and some hollow ones where I was. Not too crowded. Managed to actually paddle my weak ass into one of the hollow ones for that little cover up. Surfing cures. Superduperstoked.

"It actually looked like SoCal out there. Or a Justin Bieber concert. Frickin' crowded."
