Daily Surf Report - 4/28/2014

We will be closing early tonight, however we will re-open tomorrow morning at 10AM.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
“My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can." - Cary Grant


Good Morning to all of you creatures of liquid salt realities. It's another fine beginning to another (hopefully) fine week. Oh, yes that lucky old sun is indeed rolling around heaven all day as the birds are singing the same tune, ala NOLA's own Louis 'Pops' Armstrong. Yeah, yeah... I know some of you are probably reading this and saying, "Hey! wait a second. Louis Armstrong's nickname was 'Satchmo!'" And you'd be right.... if you're not a musician. As all of the musicians who knew him, or in my case musicians that didn't know him personally but still dwell within that musical world, we referred to him as 'Pops,' and the civilians called him Satchmo. Ah, what we learn on a surf report. Yes, more useless trivia grafiti in which to spray paint on the walls of your mind. Which brings me to; there is indeed a little attention getter riding the dog in from the South. Couple that with a stiff but manageable off-shore breeze, all you need to do is remember to take a couple of extra strokes to enter into that oh-so-coveted slide-to-paradise. The call today is grab a hydrodynamic craft of your liking, snap on the neoprene and glide, slide and ride.


CHANNEL: Oddly shaped but still trying to give a ride-able waist high (+/-) wedge in which to glide upon. The Sea Drift area code as well as the middle 'Mali-Bo' bar are working a bit. The Groin Pole is also a temping spot to work on boosting air if your plank is of a certain, small scale dimension. Only four or five (4-5) are spread out around there now.


PATCH:  Sometimes the good 'ol Clam Patch has something fun to offer. Today's sale items are as follows; A nice waist (+/-) right and/or left is offered outside of the Meeting Rock/Rock/Bulk Head as well as the Snags with the occasional zippy right. Even 'Mysto's' is throwing down an occasional waist-to-shoulder right hander that this writer had the fortune of gliding upon all by his lonesome a handful of times this very morning. Seven-eight (7/8) bipeds out there now. Hurry, while limited supplies last.
