At 2:00 pm - a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter spotted a 10-foot-long great white shark 200 - 300 yards off Stinson Beach. The shark was headed south according to the Coast Guard, so a warning was issued.
Stinson Beach will remain open and people will be allowed to wade in water, but lifeguards will stop people from going into deeper water through Thursday.
If there are no more sightings the rest of the week, the deeper waters will be reopened by Friday.
Happy Fathers Day, where's my new tie?
Hope you didn't wish for SURF for fathers day, OR maybe you got a NEW FLOATY FAT surfboard? Either way, enjoy the day. Father-status or not.
Overcast and foggy with not much wind, light onshore fog wind, if anything. Current temp is 55F and the sun showed up around 2:00pm yesterday, HOPEFULLY MORE TODAY. It should turn into a nice beach day. Lots going on today so come on out and be part of the fun.
Channel: Waves are mostly lefts and breaking in shin, knee maybe a bit more range. Working at the Groin and Channel bars but low tide needs to fill in for improvement. 3 scattered surfers in the water on longboards with a few small waves to ride.
Patch: Low tide with lots of exposed bottom. Not currently surfable but more water will help. Ocean is textured and surf is scattered and intermittent.
Beginner surfboard SALE! 2-Mile Surf Shop is still making room for new inventory and clearing out some USED foam and Softop boards. Perfect to learn and practice your surfing on. These are the same boards we use to teach surf lessons.
Isle SoftDeck Surfboards:
The Isle SoftDeck epoxy surfboards are built in a standard ECORE epoxy construction then wrapped with a 1/4 inch supersoft EVA foam decking on the top deck and rails. The soft deck has built in traction with no wax needed. You get a real epoxy surfboard with a soft deck so your ride is nearly identical to what you would experience on a regular epoxy surfboard. And you also get the extreme durability of epoxy construction so you can be confident they will hold up against the wear and tear of the beginner surfer.
