Poor-. Disorganized, junky all around mehness. Upside, wasn't windy and there's some sun. It's rideable but it ain't pretty. Plenty of fat, wobbly waist-chest high waves that close out. Caught one, headed to work.

Spent a very nice long morning catching some clean knee-chest high waves southeast. Pretty long lulls between sets, but some fun energy even as the tide filled in. Plenty of longboard waves with a few punchier sets for fish and funboards. Def well into the +side of fair today, good- with a little more frequency and consistency.

Yeah, it was junky. Yeah the wind was on it and warbling it up. But hey, it was pretty dang fun. Poor+ for wave quality but def fair for a good time. Like most Linda Mar summer days, it favored those with foam. One spot breaking pretty well but we went for the surfari and rode the current up the beach checking out a few more. Knee-Waist with Chest high standouts. Some good shoulders. Much crumbly crumbling.

Fun little afternoon at Lindy. 2-3ft waves with occasional larger inconsistently spaced sets. Somewhat sectiony/crumbling and a bit textured with the wind but the sun was out and the rides lined up in to the beach. Kinda crowded until the surf shops started closing for the day. Pretty fun on a longboard.

Thursday 10am - Linda Mar, poor surfing

Teeeny tiny, but clean during the early morning at Linda Mar. Waist high if you're lucky, but lots of fun with patience, a longboard, and a good sense of humor. Pretty long rides for how small the waves were. Feels like this summer is going to be all lefts at Lindy. You shortboarders might want to roam around San Mateo county further south, Lindy was pretty much logs only. Fair-- clean if you like small waves, but outright poor if you're sporting anything thinner than 3 inches and shorter than a 9ft log.

I'm back on lake Michigan for a few days. It's been hot and humid. Any corn-fed midwesterner knows long hot days mean thunderstorms. A BIG storm system came through about an hour ago with gusts reported almost up to 100mph and hail up to quarter inch around. This is a photo my brother took as beach goers fled the approaching front.

Picaresque is one of my favorite surf movies. The clips on youtube and vimeo don't really do the film justice. They kind of make it seem like it's your typical "oooo isn't longboarding so pretty and mellow" movie when the finished work actually has a ton of energy, great music and some sick longboarding, single fin, and fish surfing.
