Daily Surf Report - 8/14/2014



Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." -  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


Off we go with a misty and moist morning already giving way to patches of blue and sun potential.  Roads get slick and wetsuits don't dry but it is closing in on the end of the week so put your happy face on.  Not sure about heat levels for today but for now it is windless and the temp is balmy at 59F.  Still have a bit of the SW swell sticking around and an early season NW swell on the horizon.  It is small and surfable as the tide finishes draining out to almost zero.  Give it a bit to flow back in and enjoy the waves that will be had. There is always something to take and something to share.  Remember positivity in the water and on land.  Make it your manta and never question WHY?  Have and ethos and avoid Nihilists whenever possible.



CHANNEL:  Reeling lefts in the thigh to waist high size.  Some are pitchy on the deeper bar but makeable sections are available.  Shoulders and corners on the Groin side of things will have less size but better shape and hold for longer.  A few little pits poke through but with the low tide longboards still rule.  More water and the NW swell could improve things during the later part of the day.  For now, wait for the tide change then jump in and ride some.  Lineup contains 8 human figures.


PATCH:  Inside rights that roll and hold in the shallow water.  A good portion of rocks exposed but enough water at the Snags to make a go of it.  Size runs knee to thigh high and smoothness is the key here.  S swell fades so infrequent pulses can be felt but waiting time is post office like.  Out by the meeting rock it is trying to fold over but not always making the crystal connection.  2 in the lineup toe tapping the morning away.
