 Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure” - Abraham Lincoln


Good morning to all of you gliders, sliders and wave riders! It's a wonderful winter morning here at the beach with the temperature bobbing in at a brisk 46 degrees. The sun is up and out but playing hide-and-seek behind some scattered cumulus with a slight off-shore breeze texturing the surface of the water. There is still a tad of a swell left here in town and no one really knows how long it intends to hang around, so if you are so inclined perhaps a maritime trip is in your near future.
 

CHANNEL: Even with this incoming tide the Middle Bar is attempting to toss something up for some liquid enjoyment in the waist (+/-) area and surprisingly there are currently NO takers! It's a bit of a wait for a clean one but they do arrive, a polished emerald gleaming in the morning light is yawning, empty and lonely across the sand bar.

 
PATCH: A sub-par undulation right in the middle of the Clam Patch that can ramp up slightly more waaaaaay inside... if you catch it that is. However, with this upcoming tide these "waves" are getting flatter and flatter. For some bizarre reason, while the Channel is giving a much better wave with no takers there are about ten (10) logs and custodians in the Patch failing away. Go figure.
