Still Some Waves

Head high plus waves, glassy and smooth conditions but a little wally on the early morning drained out tide. I only caught a handful of waves, but they were good ones. It really started looking good as I was leaving.....

Suffering

So while the swell rages at home, duty calls. I'm keeping myself busy with my work up here in Menlo Park, CA and hope to be back in the water tomorrow.....

Dumbarton Bridge

 Rich took a few pics from around OC yesterday,        you know these places....

Shark Sighting Today

I saw the fin first about 30 yards out to the SW around 6:00.  Then  a few minutes later Phil and Jeff saw it about 15 yards from where Jeff was sitting up on the point. Jeff nonchalantly paddled to the inside. Definitely a shark, the fin stood up out of the water about a foot, maybe more, and it just cruised along in a straight line. No more sightings after that.
Waves were actually fun the first hour even though it still had a little bump on it, then it started backing off and the cold water started getting to me. I knew I shoulda worn the 4/3. Got a massive cramp in my calf and couldn't function after that.
Just bellied one in.....

The Oakley Pro wraps up today. 

Busy Working

No time to surf this week, it wasn't that good anyway, except I heard yesterday was decent. Today we had a lumpy and bumpy windswell to deal with along with a blast of cold water. The pier said 60° but it had to be less than that. All in all not a terrible morning as I managed to catch a 8 or 10 waves and only ate it once (in front of everybody Arrggg).
