Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Don't wait for extraordinary circumstance to do good; try to use ordinary situations.” - Charles Richter

 

Happy Halloween and welcome to a beautiful Fall morning in Bolinas.  All ghouls and goblins are out and there is a little spooky swell in the water.  Wear your costume and ride some waves.  Scare trick-or-treaters and gorge on candy.  Put your crystal skull out on display and let it rip.  Currently clear, sunny, no wind and 44F.  A bit more bump in the water and some rideable rollers to be had.  Incoming tide push helping out and some SW swell showing here and there. 

CHANNEL: Has some W direction in it and delivering mostly rights into the Channel off of the bars.  Enough push to get the longboard or broomstick moving in the right direction.  6 shattered souls are on it and fun times for the un-dead today.  Outgoing tide could deliver some rides to die for so stay tuned.  Currently triple over pumpkin sized waves.

PATCH:  Mostly inside rights but there is plenty of water so you wont find Davey Jones' locker.  Bring the biggest board you have and get some coffin rides and realize ultimate peace and sanity.  Empty lineup for humans but lots of spirits circulating.  Wave height is double jack-o-lantern!

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word is never thrown away.”—  Arthur Helps

 

Good morning campers! It's another beautiful day at the beach. The gulls are calling us from a cloudless sky as the sun scrambles up and over the ridge above Stinson and the air temperature flitters in at a frosty 44 degrees. A glorious morning we have here before us! However, the sea is fickle and today she is no different as she seems to be holding back her undulating bounty on this 'morn. Like the sirens of Odysseus she calls for us to come and play but the wise surfer will say, "Perhaps another day."
I'll update if a change occurs. 

CHANNEL: Just like yesterday only with less swell...if that's even possible! Yes, it is. Only one janitor out there now and that would be the long commuting, ever optimistic, Russ giving this lack of enthusiastic undulations that high gloss shine!

PATCH:  It's trying to produce some sort of facsimile of a wave but it has been measured and weighed and comes up lacking. The high tide and lack of general molecular energy is keeping the Patch more in the area of a wobbly pond. Maybe later? The Pelican has passed it by on his way to boldly go where no kook has gone before (cue theme song).

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.”—  Henry David Thoreau

 

Good morning children of the brine! It's a nice Tuesday morning here at the beach with the temperature coming in a little warmer today at 53 degrees and that is probably due to the overcast skies. Let's hope the sun shows itself today. While were at it, let's also hope that a swell shows as well. The wave machine has been turned off and it's flatter than a tortilla in the Texas panhandle. Maybe later with the tide turn-around someone will show up with a fist full of quarters to pump into that wave making machine and get this party started. That explains a lot about the empty parking lot! Will update if something (positive) changes.
 

CHANNEL: Nothing going here right now...really! Occasional ankle burper going into the lagoon for about ten yards but that's only good for a first down. Maybe later? Ghost town!

PATCH:  Nothing here as well. That upcoming tide is also playing a huge part in the vast nothingness. So empty it's making Detroit look like it has a thriving population.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you.”—  Aldous Huxley

 

Good morning to you sliders & gliders of the salty realities! It's another beautiful, clear cool Monday morning here at the beach with the temperature gallivanting in at a chilled 45 degrees and not much wind to speak of, nor a billow of a cloud in the sky. Not a whole lot of swell to report as of this writing. Lumps and bumps scattered in certain spots around the beach that look great for the beginners or those souls who are so desperate that they really don't give a darn.
 

CHANNEL: Occasional waist (and less) high jumbled crumblers that are rolling through the outside middle bar. Nothing really clean to trim as it's more of a straight-off ride. Excellent for the beginners, or those who were given bad directions. Two (2) not-too-discriminate souls out there now as I report this.

PATCH:  An occasional thigh high gurgler right in the middle of the Patch that is sectioning more than a Wes Craven movie. Not a lot of push, plus the incoming tide is making this the ultimate fishing spot. However, don't disparage, kids. With the later tide turnaround this spot could throw you a little something a little later. Stay tuned! Same Bat time, same Bat channel!

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“See the world as it is and you will know truth, If you close part of the world off you will know sadness.”—  Anonymous

 

Feel the cold in your bones today after you dust the skeletons off in the closet. Its a chilly 51*f this morning with an extravagant sunrise and no wind to feel. Its a morning of champions as the brave souls who brave the cold are rewarded bravely. Sweet sections and segments of slimy slopes are very prominent. Waves can and will be ridden in the knee to waist high plus range and everybody wants a piece of the pumpkin pie. 
 

CHANNEL:  Fast but don't last as little backhand barrels are big enough for the ankles. Bigger boards may produce a strange kind of good feeling, but an egg will work here and breakfast is the most important meal. 2 fellas out now.

PATCH:  Its a day of celebration and sadness, a day of acceptance and ignorance, beauty and beast. The whole world is spinning and no one seems to knows it. Go celebrate the joy and ride an ankle bitter or two. Bring as much foam as necessary for your height / wait index and have fun.

Good times, come to me now.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast in the pool where you least expect it; there will be a fish.”—  Ovid

 

Welcome to a beautiful Bolinas morning.  Sunny and calm, fog in the high hills, chill at 44F, glassy ocean, waves to ride as well.  Diminishing swell still yielding positive returns.  Come take a trip with us.  Throw caution to the wind and abandon all hope.  Ignore all convention and trust no instincts.  Refute the space and time continuum and don't ask WHY?  There are moments to be treasured and enjoyed if you let go of your convictions and give yourself over to the ocean.  We know the way and can lead you there.  Trust only US.

 
CHANNEL:  Seadrift has potential and looks to be delivering the better surf in the waist high or better size.  Make the paddle across and find your nirvana.  In the Channel the occasional left that is smooth and rideable comes through on the right swell combo.  Otherwise mostly pieces and parts in the thigh high + range.  Mid tides all day so not much swing or change expected.  Grab a longboard and you will get something today.

PATCH:  Pleasantly producing glassy waves in the waist-ish or better size.  A bit of a full tide early morning but heading lower now.  Clean and not mean but very willing to propel the longboard of your choice towards the sand.  Set your homing pigeons free and follow them East.  Use the crystal guidance system in your mind to find the direction of choice.  All will be rewarded with total consciousness today.

UPDATE!!!! There is a bit of a swell bumping through both the Channel (Waist +) and the Patch (Waist -)! The sun is out, there's a bit of a swell... what are you waiting for? Get stoked!

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.”—  Nido Qubein

 

Good morning denizens of the stoke! It's a cool clear morning here at the beach with the temperature sliding on in at a chilly 45 degrees as it feels colder than a witches boob in a brass bra (crude Halloween humor). Small undulations are appearing in a random sense with long waits in-between. Good day for beginners.
 
CHANNEL:  The outside middle bar is spewing something every-so-often but at waist-to-below waist in height. The rest of the time it looks perfect....for fishing. BIG boards will work here this morning. If it changes be sure to tune into this channel. Four (4) out there now.

PATCH:  VERY occasional thigh high slurper coming across the rocks in the middle of the Clam Patch. The tides are not changing a heck of a lot today so we'll keep an eye peeled if anything really begins to peel over that-a-way.

Three (3) there now waiting.

1:30pm UPDATE: Sun is out and the day is warm.  Surf continues to work.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Well done is better than well said.”—  Benjamin Franklin

 

 

Mild and grey morning with temp at 52F.  A bit of fog in town but high level and should burn off soon.  No wind and extremely glassy conditions - surfer's delight.  Still some swell in the water and things are trying their best to work well.  Steep S swell + NW windswell can combo up and produce some gems.  Hank B sizing up his plan of attack and he has options.  You too can get it if you really want it. Great day for beginners and barnacles alike.

 
CHANNEL:  Outside bar waves still working and going waist high and maybe a touch bigger on the better ones.  Smooth as glass and your longboard will love it.  Some are firing and some just grind along but all are rideable today.  Tide is mid-high all day so no swing and good water levels everywhere.  Occasional Groin bar lefts that are thigh high but will roll along towards the sand.  Inside shore dumpers for the swimming and bodysurfing set.  Why wait?  Try now.

PATCH:   Glassy, glassy, glassy.  Thigh to waist high and breaking outside on the sets and regularly on the inside Snags section.  Smooth and delicious for your logging pleasure.  If your board has 1 fin please surf here and enjoy.  1 NUPper out but should be joined shortly in the water but those in the know.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“ To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. ”—  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

 

Good morning to all of you creatures of the aqua glide. It's a grey and cool morning here at the beach with the temperature coming in at 49 degrees and a bit of fog hanging back just beyond the proscenium of the bay today but still making everything a slate grey. Glassy conditions are the norm at the moment and there is still a bit of a bump left in the water to play with. Great day for beginners and old salt dogs alike.

 
CHANNEL:  Thigh-to-waist-to-occasional-chest high grinders on the outside middle bar. Long waits between sets but the clean-up is the one to wait for. When the tide comes in it's not going to even bother to knock, it's going to bust down the door and in all likelihood make this the party to attend and bring chips because there will be plenty of "dips." Logs will be the best call but as long as that occasional set wave is around maybe something a little sportier will do the trick. No one out as I right this.

PATCH:   Thigh-high, glassy slow-pokes oozing across the middle of the Patch smack-dab ahead of them 'ol rocks. Long waits between sets kids, so cards or backgammon may be the call to pass the time between the time... Three (3) out there now waiting for a forth to complete the set for some Bridge.
