Daily Surf Report - 5/11/2014



Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” —Abraham Lincoln
 

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there! And a happy day it is out here at the beach. There's not a cloud in the sky, the birds are chirping, and the sun is shining it's radiant light down on the sand. So to all you children out there who are celebrating with your mother's, go clean the house and make them breakfast, then take them down to the beach to let their toes bury in the sand with an ice cold drink in their hand. This day comes and goes much to fast as I'm sure every mother would agree, so let them relax and enjoy the surf and sun. The air is at a crisp 60F and heating up with just a faint breeze. The water is cool and refreshing as spring hits us in full swing. With a small NW wind swell and even smaller south swell trying to make it's way here, there is only minimal surf, but a few small gems could be found by the log enthusiasts out there. So come on out and bring your mother! Enjoy the day and have no regrets!



CHANNEL:  Breaking but just barely in the ankle to knee range around the seadrift side. A handful of guys that are trying their best out there with a few SUPs showing off. The Groin is rolling in slowly, but may break more with the incoming tide. Paddle out and try your luck before the tide shift and you may find yourself riding in circles from the break to the beach and back again. 



PATCH:   Breaking inside along the rocks in the ankle +/- range. The rights look rideable on the sets, but as of now there is only one man daring the exposed reef. May improve with a higher tide. Try it out if you dare or wait till the tide comes in a bit more and see if your fortune improves. 




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