Daily Surf Report - 7/30/2011

Overcast with fog and light winds. Current temp of 58F this morning. Ocean slightly textured again. Typical weather pattern has sun coming out by around noon with temps up to 70F.

Channel: Low tide conditions with waves in the knee to thigh high range. Peaks are scattered as the sandbars need more water to get working. Longboards will work best.

Patch: Low tide conditions with lots of exposed rocks but some waves way outside in the thigh high + size. Needs more water with incoming tide to improve but for big logs it will work.

ONE-OF-A-KIND KAHUNA KUPUNA BENEFIT SURF CONTEST RETURNS TO PACIFICA FOR 12TH YEAR!

The 12th Annual Kahuna Kupuna benefit surf contest will take place on Saturday, August 6, 2011 at Linda Mar Beach in Pacifica, California from 7 am to 5 pm. Entry forms are now being accepted and are available at all Pacifica surf shops or via download at www.kahunakupunasurf.org.

Developed with the idea of putting a spotlight on the ever growing numbers of local avid surfers moving into their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond while also raising some much needed funds for PEF, the Kahuna Kupuna is the only amateur surf contest in the world that offers surfers 50 years of age and over competitive divisions that are set up in 5-year increments as well as offering a “Junior Kupuna” division for surfers 40 – 49 years of age. Kahuna, in Hawaiian, means “Big Chief” and Kupuna means “Grandparent” or, more accurately, “older member of the community who others turn to for advice and counsel.”
