Daily Surf Report - 2/2/2012

Groundhog Day 2012:
Punxsutawney Phil sees shadow, 6 more weeks of winter predicted.
At 7:25 a.m. this morning, amidst mostly cloudy skies, and temperatures in the low 30s, Groundhog Phil saw his shadow in the little town of Punxsutawney, Pa.

According to folklore, Phil’s sighting of his own shadow means there will be six more weeks of winter. Had Phil not seen his shadow, it would have meant “there will be an early spring.”

We have clear and sunny skies with temps in the low 40s to start the day. Our winter has been clear and dry and the surf has been very good so I can live with Phil's prediction.


Channel: Cleaned up from yesterday's bit of weather. Surf in the waist high + size. Seadrift looks a little cleaner and better if you want to paddle across and get some rights. About 8 in the water.

Patch: Good tide and has come up in size. Thigh to waist high pop up peaks that look best mid-way and inside. Couple of longboards and SUPs over here already.

Daily Surf Report - 2/1/2012

The last and shortest surf month of winter, February is now upon us.
And geeze is it mixed up out there? In kinda a good way.

The Channel is a challenging chest high, with onshore sections making it fast and tricky, this is made do~able through the minimal crowd.

The patch is a little more protected, and surprisingly crowded, only about knee high here.

Did I mention it is raining?

Channel: Chest high, storm surf conditions. goofy footers on quad fins might be punting?

Patch: Ankle, inside low tide still showing.

A little historical Bolinas photo from back in the day. Looks like the Channel was breaking.

A crowded beach in Nor Cal is a total shame.
What else are you up here for if it is not for fierce desolation?
Well, that's what we have folks. Call it "Soft Desolation" with a full stock of rentals and a liquor store out front.

Come out and remember how to cross stepp in the Channel today.
It's about waist high, peeling clean, and the Patch might pick up later.

If your board is under 9 ft, you will wish it wasn't.
Clean, 53 degrees, sun peeping already, light wind?

Channel: Waist high, middle bar, kinda mushy.

Patch: Ankle, inside low tide still showing.

Ok,
Straight out. There are tiny little waves peeling nicely in goodish conditions. It's about 50 degrees, no wind, slight overcast, and there is no one out surfing at the moment. The shape is good enough to pump a shortboard even though it is only waist high at the channel, looks like it is peeling clean and nice for a longboard.


Channel: Clean little lefts, at the middle of the channel, about waist high. One could force a shortboard, or a longboard would be fun and easy.

Patch: Ankle high and peeling in one spot, not surfable currently, but could be later.

Daily Surf Report - 1/28/2012

Low tide / No tide / We need mo tide.

Frosty morning with icy cars and clear sunshining skies. No wind and a morning temp of 39F and rising. Another spectacular and beautiful morning. A beach day in January.


Channel: Funky low tide just now switching around and should clean things up with more water. Last hit of swell dying out but still something in the water to ride. Current surf in the thigh to almost waist high size. Bumpy lefts with shallow inside conditions and swirling tide change. Bring out the longboard for best results today.

Patch: Residual rollers coming through and breaking midway and on the inside. Low-tide, rocky, kelpy style to start the day. A little room to cross step and glide. Incoming tide will fill in the gaps and the waves are knee high + today. Relatively empty lineup but still some fun to be had. Bring the log out.

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy. Sunshine in my eyes can make me blind.

Clear, sunny and beautiful morning. No wind and a current temp of 46F. Dry conditions to continue through the weekend.


Channel: Funky tide just now switching around and cleaning up the bars. Surf in the waist to chest size on the sets. Bumpy lefts with shallow inside conditions. Both bars lining up as tide begins to fill in. Still shortboardable but less energy today. Still fun surf with some decent rides to be had. About 12 in the water.

Patch: Waist high waves. Not as much going on today as swell dies down. Still scattered peaks but mostly midway and inside on the low tide. Pick a spot and wait for something to come your way then ride it. Longboards and SUPs in the water. Nice and sunny morning to log it.
