There is nothing better than salt in the air and sand in my hair (what's left of it).

No Surprise: Super Crowded Again

But for some reason I got a ton of waves.  Prolly cuz it took a while for the crowd to fill in and the fact that it was bigger and not as inconsistent as yesterday. First thing my wife said to me when I came home was "It must have been good today".  I guess my shit eatin grin gave it away; that's why I almost never get away with lying to her or win at poker for that matter.
Oh Yeah!



Greg getting burned again; he caught up towards the end of the wave.

Better

The waves were not as good as yesterday, head high and inconsistent, but I made a conscious decision to be more aggressive. The water was toasty warm and the wind was off shore before it glassed off.  The waves were a little sectiony too, but if you caught the right one.......
I caught around 10 decent waves today, not bad considering the crowd and incosistency.  It was a bit of a circus out there today as the pictures reveal, however it looks like we're in for a full week of head high plus waves, hopefully things will lighten up as the week progresses.

Maximum Capacity

The waves were great, getting one by yourself was the challenge.  I generally do not do well in crowded conditions and it showed today.  After two and a half hours I really only had 5 decent waves, not one a set wave.  Very frustrating.  Will I go again tomorrow?  Of course, I'm a glutton for punishment.



There was a lot of this going on today

Afternoon Sesh

Flew back from Dallas today and went straight to you know where.   Pretty fun, not too crowded and a few familiar faces (Andy, Mike and Hawaiian Phil).   Can't go tomorrow, but Friday fo sho.

Three Waves

Paddled out just before six, in the dark and not a soul on the beach.  Water was warm (69), offshore flow and inconsistent belly high waves.  Caught three decent waves and called it a morning.   Have to catch a plane to Dallas today so I had to get wet no matter what.



Lots of birds and bait fish in the water today

The Autumnal Equinox Is Behind Us

Taking a day off since the buoys are way down. In the meantime here are some pictures of Uppers from Michael Vogel:

Small And Inconsistent

Some chest high waves here and there, super warm water and a moderate crowd, actually not too bad for a Saturday.  The bay was the way until the tide filled in.


JP, I think. 



Camano on the right

Garcia, yup he caught up to the shoulder, eventually. 

Don't you hate it when you just can't quite catch up to a nice open face....
