Daily Surf Report - 2/20/2015




Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them." - Christian Nestell Bovee


In-between days as the fog tamps the wind down but the swell has retreated.  We are left with only a fading S and a hint of NW windswell to contend with.  Overcast and foggy but temperate at 54F.  Glassy ocean and smooth but maybe a bit too glassy for surfing pursuits.  Still a few waves to hunt and seek just not in the usual spots.  Find the happy place to set the positivity flowing.  Layer in some joy and love for good measure and start your day with a smiling face. 


CHANNEL:  Smooth with small surf as tide begins to flow back in.  Low water levels make access a breeze but not much swell to push the aqua around.  Knee high lefts fire off the Groin bar with feather-like ferocity.  Big boards can make it work but the rewards are currently short traveled and short lived.  Out in front of the boat ramp rears a wave from unfathomable depths to come breaking upon a motley crew of early morning wave sliders.  Options include lefts and rights.  Size shows waist high potential.  Length is best imagined then witnessed in person.  
 


PATCH:  Getting off to a slow start and needing a morning espresso to wake up.  Low tide starting to fill in and swell activity remains palpable yet minimal.  Micro-slider waves that push up to ship-stern knee crunching heights are being observed but mostly not ridden.  More water will be the key component here today and the extra tide push may tip the scales in favor of an afternoon glide.
