Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it.” - Sir Winston Churchill
Welcome to the weekend! Time to get busy burning off all the pent up stress of daily life. A few days of respite from the weekly grind. Find your happy place at the coast and ride a few waves as well. If that doesn't put a smile on your face then nothing will. A few chilly low spots on the drive out but currently 52F in town. Overcast and foggy but no wind to chop things up. Sunshine is a mystery and may not show until the afternoon. On the bright side, water temps have warmed up to a balmy 51F and the steep S swell still shows on the buoys. Go now and ride waves like your life depended on it.
CHANNEL: Tide has peaked and now flows outward towards the far reaches of the ocean. A bit chopped up but surfers are circling the lumpy rollers that are forming on the middle bar. Waves from the right and left that meet in the middle. It's a game of Chicken as surfers rush towards each other at cataclysmic speeds. Who will bail first and who will sustain the most dings and damage? I dare you to paddle out and join the fun. Those watching from the beach are not experiencing true enlightenment yet. Thigh high or better.
PATCH: Peaking Patch tide has most of my imaginary friends in the water an a few stragglers suiting up. Making for a crowded lineup this early morning. The voices in my head keep calling for the 9' 6" single-fin log and there are visions (real or imagined ) of rolling rights in the middle zone. Looks to be smooth and running to the beach with size approaching waist high. A bit foggy but vision is fair and this seems real but could be a mirage. Will update later when my "friends" file their report.
