Daily Surf Report - 7/2/2012

A wise man once said, "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and again." This morning with an incoming tide and small but glassy waves even Ray Charles would get trimmed on a log.
It's currently overcast, no wind and glassy. The air temp is around 57 degrees and will get warmer as sunshine is expected by mid-morning. Small waves continue to be the norm with wave size ranging from thigh to occasional waist high. Today, think lumberjack as a log is what will work best.


Channel: Smooth, glassy and small. Middle bar waves in the thigh to occasional waits high size. About 10 in the water now. Mostly longboards and a couple of SUP's.


Patch: Flat and glassy like a mid-1970's glass coffee table. Still best on the SUP or kayak. We may see some improvement at this location later in the day as tide fills in. Keep an eye out for evening rights.


Summer Time = Simmons Time.

If you haven't seen or tried the Mini-Simmons now is the time. Old and new ideas come together, this displacement hull and almost no rocker has been improved by ending the tail with a double concave and a quad fin setup. The fastest and funnest board I've ever ridden. So buttery and skatey on the turns with speed for days. Works insane in all conditions and ridden ridiculously small. We now have a 5'10" DEMO board in the shop that you can rent to experience the difference. Stock sizes in the rack are 5.6, 5.8, 5.10 and 6.0




Just a reminder to pack your trash!!! PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. Respect the Beach.
