Happy winter solstice to everyone! Dark cloudy skies this morning--no rain yet, but very gusty winds at 15 mph. Extreme tide shift today with the full moon.

The paddle out memorial to Gene Abbott will be held at 11:30 am over in the patch this morning. Meet and gather on the beach to share thoughts. Then we begin A Surfers Memorial Ceremony¸ paddling out into the ocean, outside of the breaking waves, and forming a circle by holding hands. No surfing experience is necessary to paddle out with us, just wear a wetsuit and have a surfboard. Non-surfers can gather on the beach, joining the paddlers in spirit.
After the memorial, we will be heading to Gene's favorite food spot,
The Surfer's Grill, in Stinson Beach for lunch. The Surfer's Grill is on the beach next to the lifeguard station inside the park. Drive to the end of the park and follow the signs to The Surfer's Grill.

The surf is reflecting the weather again today with very choppy water--the patch is not breaking at all, and the channel looks around thigh to waist high. I'm guessing as there are no surfers out there yet. There's no organization to the waves at all right now--they are all over the place.

If the conditions change this afternoon as the tide is going out I will update this for you. It hopefully will clean up if our winds calm down.
