Daily Surf Report - 5/8/2014



Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
“Caminante, ho hay camino.  Se hace camino al andar." - Antonio Machado


No sun but misty hills above us.  Moderate flow of S winds and morning temp is 54F.  Hello Spring surf conditions.  Not much out there on the buoys and even less showing up in the water right now.  Tides are good but other factors not so cooperative.  Nice herd of barking seals about 100 yards off the beach.  They may have found some anchovies for breakfast and are noshing down.  Otherwise good day for hiking and walking and almost surfing very small waves.


CHANNEL:  Not much doing and even less to write about today.  Ankle high at best and nearly flat conditions.  Nothing to do the Wa-Wa-Tusi dance on that is for sure.  Pack a lunch and hike the hills. Clean your boards and patch your suits.  Surf will soon come.


PATCH:  Very small and in the calf high size spectrum.  Breaking only inside amongst the Snags.  Potentially and possibly rideable on the biggest of big surfboards.  My advice to you is to start paddling heavily.




PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. 
Respect the Beach.
