Daily Surf Report - 5/18/2013

Now rocking our SUMMER HOURS and open daily from 9am - 6pm.

 

 

Clear, sunny and chill morning in Bolinas today.  No clouds, light puffs of wind, smooth ocean and temp starts at 55F.  High pressure over the region through the weekend so come on out to the beach, it's a beautiful day.  Not much but a little bit surf wise.  Enough to get wet and stay tuned for the new S swell expected to start showing up later today. 

 

CHANNEL: Periodic peaks with not much energy behind them.  Enough to get your log moving and get your fill.  Get your 10 wave limit outside in the Channel on the thigh high lefts then change spots and sample something else.  Tempt your taste buds on the Mali-BO rights as they cruise along at a snail's pace through the Groin and to the beach.  Only knee high but what a ride!  Early morning high tide helps but it is on the way out so get your suit on and ride.  About 12 already in the water.


PATCH: Light winds blowing offshore here helping to groom up the waves.  They are small and few and far between but shapely and rideable on a big board.  Inside rights are smooth and run along the Snags to the beach.  Scattered peaks mid way and occasionally outside and size is knee to thigh all over.  Sunny and beautiful here.  Grab something big and walk the plank.

Really beautiful morning with sunny, blue skies, no wind, temp of 55F and an overall calm demeanor at the beach.  Dogs are running, birds chirping, kids on their merry way to school - a serene scene for sure.  We are pretty much between swells at this time with only local windswell and a slight touch of S here and there.  Use what you've got to get what you need.  Grab the lunch tray and flippers and go get wet. 

 

CHANNEL: An occasional and promising knee high + grinding left appearing in the Channel on the deeper bar.  Looks rideable and worth checking out.  Wall jockeys debating its merits right now.  Tide is heading low into the late morning so sooner is better or wait until the afternoon / evening set at this location. 


PATCH: A few SUPs and logs way outside and to the northern reaches of the Patch today.  A few waves to sample and size looks to be thigh high at best.  Smooth ocean, glassy and warm out already.  Grab something big and give it a go.  If your board is too small come by the shop and check the rack for the log of your dreams!

Daily Surf Report - 5/16/2013

Now rocking our SUMMER HOURS and open daily from 9am - 6pm.

 

Sunny and warm afternoon with temp up to 73F.  Surf does remain small but more water has helped slightly.  Marginal conditions at best.

 

Calm, overcast and mild with a morning temp of 58F.  A few puffs of wind here and there and fog ringing the coast.  Maybe some sun today or not.  Very little out in the ocean to produce waves.  Local N windswell and a dying, and already small S swell.  Still have low tides and not much in terms of waves this morning. 

 

CHANNEL: Low tide still going lower for another 2 hours.  Knee high grinders across the Groin bar.  Not sure if is actually surfable.  No takers at this time.  Much more water and swell are required. 


PATCH: Empty lineup.  Not even a SUP in sight.  Most all rocks exposed this morning and tide still heading lower for a bit.  Flat as can be right now.  No swell and no waves rolling through yet.

Almost summer and the living is easy.  Calm, clear, sunshine, no wind and morning temp of 55F.  May be getting a few clouds before the weekend then  high pressure kicks in again with some off-shore winds.   Still have local N windswell and the new S swell holding in steady with small wave heights and long intervals.  Morning low tide still a bonus for rock pickers but there is a bit more surf to explore this morning as well.

 

CHANNEL: Low tide still going lower for another hour.  Take the time to stretch out and plan your attack on the knee high lefts exploding across the Groin sandbars.  Still showing a lot of Groin wall and sandbars at this time.  More water required.  Afternoon longboard decompression expression sessions are the right call at this spot. 


PATCH: Most all rocks exposed this morning and tide still heading lower for a bit.  A bit more surf just out past the meeting rock today and about 6 in the water at this spot.  Inside rights to the south of the exposed rocks are grinding away and looks like the best wave.  May require a quick exit before the beach but the bottom is sandy and the wave is smooth and fun.  Size looks to be almost waist high today and bigger board always scores in the Patch.

Now rocking our SUMMER HOURS and open daily from 9am - 6pm.

 

 

Sunny, clear, calm and windless.  Temp starts at 56F and will warm up.  Another nice day in Bolinas.  Slight uptick in the surf but just a little bit.  Still have local N windswell and the start of a new S swell.  Numbers are small but a bit more to ride even with the low morning tide.  Hockey playoffs in full swing so not a total loss.  Rock pickers still score in the morning with the negative tides.

 

CHANNEL: Exposed sand bars and full Groin wall for your viewing pleasure.  Fishermen taking advantage of the conditions to get some surf casting in.  A few knee high lefts off the Groin bar but otherwise needs more water.  Afternoon Mali-Bo sessions have been small but rideable and fun.


PATCH: All rocks exposed this morning.  A bit of surf just out past the meeting rock where 3 longboarders have gathered.  Thigh high waves breaking periodically here.  Could be the start of the S swell showing up.  Long lulls to be expected but as the tide fills in could give that little extra push to get your 10 footer moving in the right direction.  Join the fun and paddle out.

Partially blue skies already with the sun winning the battle to appear.  Very calm and quiet morning with an early temp of 55F.  Promises to be a nice day in West Marin.  Not much of not much surf wise with only windswell showing from both the N and S.  Another great rock picking / tide pool morning.  Lots of treasures still to be found.

 

CHANNEL: Exposed sand bars almost giving you a walking path across to Stinson this morning.  Negative low at this very moment.  A few intrepid longboarders are in the water exploring the calf high tubes rolling left at the Groin.  Can only get better with time and more water.  Afternoons and evenings have been rideable.


PATCH: Almost all rocks exposed this morning.  2 SUPs and 1 log out at the meeting rock which is about 3' out of the water.  Not much here to ride today but probably some good water conversations are taking place.  Grab a cup of joe and let the tide fill in.  Maybe there may be a knee high right to ride.

UPDATE 11:30! SUN IS OUT! 

 

Its a grey day in Norcal. The morning fog is hugging to the water and the tide, as well as the surf have run away together. The sun is trying to break through and should as the day progresses. It is 88 degrees this morning.. in my car, and a sharp 54 degrees outside. Lots of road kill so watch out for the bunnies, raccoons, and DEER. Over all its crisp but should become another beautiful day.

CHANNEL: Shell collectors are in heaven as the exposed sand bars are exposing those special trinkets for your significant other. Its about knee high and with some luck, a finless board, and plenty of stoke, you might find a 1/2 second left before getting a mouth full of sand. Rights somewhat working yesterday with the high tide. No one out yet.

PATCH: If your teaching a 4th grade marine science class your in luck! The rocks are as exposed as they get, and all the critters are hopping around looking for a puddle. I saw a calf high set as a boat wake peeled in, but there is most likely going to be very long lulls in between those. Bring your ma down to the lake and soak up the sweet smell of the sea. (Wait for the High if you must surf here.)
