Surf Reports by greacen


1842

Stopped at LM to survey the mess. Didn't look so hot. We took the scenic tour of the local backroads and found progressively better conditions as we meandered southward. Picked a good-enough spot and found a WH peeling right that kept on giving. Pretty fun!

Overcast, occasionally breezy. Nobody else in the water.

Wednesday 3pm - Linda Mar, fair surfing

This is a late post from my early am session. Quite a bit bigger and wilder than yesterday. Wind was up a bit too. Still plenty of zippy low-tide leftiness to enjoy. A few more people in the water, but plenty of waves (and mega-close-outs) to go around.

Tuesday 10am - Linda Mar, fair+ surfing

I got an early start on the morning, took a peek and passed on SMLM. I headed south toward one of the off-the-grid spots which looked good enough to give a taste-test. The waves were CH, heavy, and pounding./dredging right a the edge of a sandbar. I had my ass served back to me on a paper plate. Decided to trek back up toward LM and paddle off the shame. To my surprise, I found a nice glassy WH peeling left. The fog even cleared and let the sun come out. Pretty damn fun.

Pretty windy down here. Found a spot that should have been totally blown-out, but wasn't. Plenty of chop, but there were waves. Shifty. Larger sets were SH (and remember I'm a giant, that might be HH to you). Worth the paddle.

Sun, whale spouts in the distance. No human beings in the water ('cept me).

Some bumps coming from the west at one of the points over yonder. Pretty shifty, but when they lined up, hoo-wee.... fun stuff. Pretty long lulls, but that's when you could be learning cribbage.

Occasional HH drops into long CH lines. Sunny. No wind during our early shift, but it picked up as we left.

Monday 10am - Linda Mar, poor+ surfing

Poorplus or fairminus... hard to say exactly. Things that worked: offshore breeze, sunny, a little bit of swell. Things that didn't: low tide at the closeouty-spot, chilly, long lulls... We went in, caught a few short drop-&-bail closeouts, then paddled toward a spot that was working. By the time we got there, the beach was empty (another plus), and that spot was indeed working. Found a few fun lefts.

Walking back toward the lot, we saw a big pile of meat. Yep, the head was ripped right off, as was most of the skin/fur/blubber. What is so damn tasty about those pinniped heads?

Wednesday 10am - Linda Mar, fair- surfing

Very little of the good stuff we found yesterday. Cleaned up quite a bit between 6:30 and 9 even though the breeze turned onshore a bit. The sun popped out for a little while... maybe it'll stick around. Sampled the goods at a few spots along the beach and found some fun moments. You will too!
