Surf Reports by greg


123

Pardon this somewhat tangential query: how is the water clarity down at linda mar/pacifica of late? I've been meaning to try out my shiny new miniature spear gun, and don't quite dare venture out at OB with it (don't worry, Uncle Pedro gave me the okay to poke around by ######s...). Any responses (even in mockery) will be appreciated.

surfed 6:30-8 at one side of the beach, where it was fun, but poor+, then drove to the other end of the beach, heading to work, and saw that it was genuinely good at this end, so I suited back up. (0 ppl out when I arrived, surfed 8-10am, maybe 8 in the water when i left). no chop, no funk, just clean SH peeling sets every 5 minutes or so. A little amuse-bouche of the autumn, if you will.

Tuesday 12pm - , fair surfing

8-10am: despite howling (offshore) winds, junky swell, and pretty high tide, surprisingly fun HH surf with plenty of rideables (in a variety of peculiar shapes--though mostly on the fat side). only 2 others out when we paddled out, then 1, then none.

(As a few people pointed out, FP was the source of nearly every negative vibe on this site....I vote to go back to those good old days and leave Deadmans/###### out of the discussion.)

Wednesday 2pm - Ocean Beach, fair surfing

This is a report for SFFP. Since the season is basically over, i figure it can't hurt (and I guess this might be my last FP report).

Small waves and small crowd this morning. Surprisingly consistent chest high sets coming through from 6-8am, then dropping off and becoming quite sporadic. (It wasn't just the tide.) I left at 9:30 when i was getting cold and a bit bored. All-in-all, it was pretty fun though (i'm surprised it was even breaking, and even more surprised that 4 or 5 other dudes showed up to surf.)

So I took my brother surfing for the first time today, to LM, and it blew. Which got me thinking a bit about my first time[s], and what made me decide to come back for more; this in turn, got me wondering about every else's first times/what made them give up a life of warm tea and lazy mornings in exchange for the early greyness of cold rain and colder waves.
