A non surf day for me; mega high tide and somebody has to work around here.

Early morning swamp thing at Thalia Street in Laguna on the way to work.

More fun than it looked.

More pics from Sunday

Hey look there is a river at San Mateo point.

4 - 6 Brown and Muddy. I passed today when I saw a brown trout float by in the river.

Another Gloomy Day :(

But I did see a couple of guys on the inside jetty of the Newport Harbor entrance. Muddy - Ugly - Choppy - Junk. Teenagers; what are you gonna do?

On the way too work this rainy morning - a lone surfable muddy wave just south of Scotsman's Cove.

Same Weather - Different Day

Lots of rain yesterday - more on tap today, tomorrow and........

Laguna on the way to work this morning.

Rain all day, but a ray of sunshine in the evening.

More rain on the way.

Dano V Bottom

OK, no more new boards for a while.

Picked up a new Bonzer Pod Saturday. Can't wait to get it wet.

Missed the big part of the swell - business travel - today was a little closed out but got a few good ones. The sky was pink.

Jan 9th, 10th and 11th

Great surf, weather and crowds.

Flat, Flat and Flat - but you can see San Clemente island.

The surf was a bit smaller today; knee to chest high and way too many longboarders. I probably should have brought my longboard but I rode the KG fish instead. It was a bit mushy, the winds were calm and the clouds were surreal.

Another good day of surf; after the tide dropped.

OK - I've been lazy and not added to this blog in weeks.

Resolution day.

Today was shoulder to head high - not too crowded and really fun. Surfed for almost 4 hours 11 - 3 and caught at least 25 decent waves. I'm spent for the day. Dinner and bed is all I want. It's supposed to pick up tomorrow - expecting the "crowd" to show again. Seems like I get the best waves in between swells.

Today was "Victory at Sea"; watched for a while and one by one everyone went home.

First Post

Not really sure what I'm doing, but who cares; no one will read this blog anyway. I'm JD, one of the regulars who surf upper trestles whenever I can. Today we struggled with the small inconsistent west swell. I got a few.

Here's an old pic of the lagoon after the El Nino of 97-98. You can see an Osprey eating a sparrow in the top branch. Survival of the fittest.
