Daily Surf Report - 12/17/2013

 
 
We will be closing a touch early tonight. We will re-open tomorrow morning at our usual time of 10AM
 
 Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much” - Jim Rohn


Good morning to all of you creatures of the deep! It's yet another spectacular morning here at the beach on this fine Tuesday 'morn! The temperature is doing the mambo at 59 degrees as the sun is in a full cumbia across the lower part of the sky! Baile! The surf is still knocking about here in town, so  what are you waiting for? My permission? Ha! Go get your dancing shoes on and get down, boggie, oogie, oogie!
 

CHANNEL: That middle bar is still supporting this swell better than a jock strap! The wave in question is mowing through at a waist to almost chest high right down the center of the plate, so you'd be able to spank a stand-up double right into the gap! There is also a very stiff off-shore breeze so keep that in mind during your take-off. HOWEVER, not many of them are clean. It's a section-y day to-be-sure, but there is a corner in which to glide upon and the patient and keen-eye surfer will be able to discern which is the winning lotto ticket.
About five (5) there now on logs and janitor gear hoping to win the Power Ball!

 
PATCH: There is indeed a waist high (+/-) wave there to slide upon but it's right smack dab in the middle-to-the-inside of the Clam Patch. The tide is coming in, so dings and losing your fin are at a minimum (We do have ding repair here at the shop...just sayin') but that tide is going to put on the WWF choke-hold pretty soon. Not to mention, but I will... that either the long paddle back to the ramp for a (hopefully) well timed exit, or the tedious long climb across walls and rocks due to the Ming Yao sized tide are going to be something to be aware of. So, use your noodle and be careful. About eight (8) logs out there mostly doing the straight off, Adolph routine.
