Hazy over castness shrouds Bobo, but we will most likely be seeing the sun soon. Lot's of movement swilling around the streets this morning, and a fading short period local windswell in the water. Air temp about 53 degrees and not much wind to speak of, a little bit of texture on an otherwise lake-like ocean surface, serene dribblers at the end of Aprildom.
Channel: not too much surf here but plenty making a go of it. The tide peaked earlier and is draining until a little after noon today. Waves in the shin-knee high range. About 17 longboarders out and a few SUPs with more people suiting up to enjoy the spinning tiny lefts out there, I saw a few little peelers that could be just right for the right surfer, right board, right attitude and right position, glide through to the shore past the groin and have a pina colada, cut through all that red tape.
Patch: Nothing happening at this spot. Lots of rocks, no waves, and no one out.
