Awful. Ugly. Blah.

Paddled out at linda mar today at 530. The wind was howlimg. There seemed to be some energy in the water but the wind made it miserable. One guy got a nice long right that made me jealous. I got many mushburgers. If I actually looked at the water before I suited up I would not have gotten in....but when I am desperate to get wet I have a rule: don't look, just suit up and go. Plus I need to get back in paddle shape for nicaragua...

got up early this morning hoping for some of the goodness that you guys got yesterday only to be foiled by the fog...from what i could see of ob at 6:45 it looked messy. I drove to LM and it was clean. 95% of the larger sets were closing out...which is typical...although there were enough people in the water so that some guys were in the right spot at the right time when a decent wave with some shape and a workable shoulder came thru. I was even one of those guys on exactly one wave. I also had fun taking the drop on about 8 head high closeouts.

Had a fun, quick session at OB from 11:30 -Noon30. My arms were jelly after the paddle out...and I'm not sure if it was because the paddle out was difficult...or I'm in such lousy shape. There were several fun clean peaky waves...and I got one nice long left. Still some funk in the water...but I was surprised at what was coming through...

Maybe I am not die hard enough but to me, ob is not surfable at all. Mushy two footers. 5 guys in the water getting nada. So bummed I drove out here when I could have slept in....

Called the Wise report at 11:00am, heard it was decent so headed out for a lunch time surf. By the time I got to ######, there were about 4 guys out...and the conditions looked crummy at best. Turned around and went back to work. Boo.

tried to surf ######, but ended up near ######. Very strong current. got one nice tasty clean left during my drift. Ocean was jumbled up and ###### seemed to be best...but staying on the peak was impossible (for me) due to the current.
