Daily Surf Report - 1/31/2011

Fog has burned off as of noon today.

Closing at 3:00 pm.

Happy last day of January!

The winds are slight and out of the NW. As of 9:30 this morning we are surrounded by fog. It looks as though it should burn off by the afternoon, but there is no telling. We'll see how the day shapes up.

There is a little surf out there. The ocean surface is pretty bumpy but it is shaping up in both spots. The waves are breaking on the boat ramp due to the high tide. The tides today are pretty dramatic going from a very high tide to a negative.

In the channel it is apx. waist high, not real clean, but rideable. There are a hand full of surfers out there, mostly longboarders.

The patch is smaller with about knee, to thigh high waves rolling in. There are two guys out there along with a paddle board.
