Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams." - John Barrymore


A caucus of the usual suspects gathers to greet mumbled and jumbled SSW swell seeking clarity and answers among the madness. Though lacking and slacking in size and shape, mere reality is stopping no one from getting suited and booted post-haste. Make your way into the fray, and remember, the park is closed. The moose out front should have told you.



CHANNEL: We may be ugly, but we have the music.


PATCH: The masses do gather in misty morning hop, though casual observers question the enthusiasm of the early tribe. Paddle, paddle, everyone's a winner.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Everything is theoretically impossible until it's done." - Robert A. Heinlen


 
Hazy, with a heavy helping of crazy, as a stubborn fog nags and sags upon on a Monday morn. A broken, but not beaten NW seeks purchase upon rock strewn shores, as all manner of watercraft go once more into the breech. Those seeking stoke and slides will likely find rides, but expect a crowd both in front and behind as the hordes gather to take yet another beachhead. Be mindful of the immediate surroundings, gaze out unto the unyielding beauty, and take a moment to reflect, and remember...


CHANNEL: As the higher waters begin to slowly recede, flurries of activity are here, there, and everywhere, and is only expected the continue as day grows long. A gentle left makes it's way towards Seadrift, and is being chased by a growing legion. One will find with the mind, and perceive with the eyes.


PATCH: Inside, outside, left and right. You, me, and everyone we know. Breaking, with middling spacing, and moderate bracing, as multiple arms flail and bail and chase each peak. Look over your shoulder, and keep your eyes on the prize, but also the future, as the charts reveal and squeal with delight.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"And they who for their country die shall fill an honored grave, for glory lights the soldier’s tomb, and beauty weeps the brave." - Joseph Rodman Drake

 
Cool winds are being escorted from the ocean waves. Some of the brave dare to surf what was once but now does not exist. Hang in there for there will be more. Get in the water, taste that ocean floor. Bop up and down feel the ocean roar or wash up on the shore.


CHANNEL: Was once but nevermore.


PATCH: Knee high roll the dice test your luck don't ask why.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in the woods, and the sound of the ocean on a beach." - Henry Beston

 
Congested like old arteries with all manner of recreational vehicle and toy as the holiday weekend is upon us.  Gilded with golden light from above and blessed with no current winds the wide expanses of beach may soon be valuable, occupied territory. With a draining tide and nary a meager NW windswell clinging the options are limitless and scarce all at the same time. 


CHANNEL: Bumblers, crumblers and stumblers as we battle against forces far beyond our control. A ripped and wonky surface has left an abandoned Channel while the committed and omitted have wandered over to Seadrift for attempts at slides.  Regressing rights are the option one finds with size relegated to the patella region and longboards required for entry.   


PATCH: A whispered promise of a steep S swell shows no signs of arrival and no water level reveals only spiny rocks exposed and lonely.  No activity brewing save for the 6 fishermen divining dinner from shore-bound casts like in halcyon days of old.  Find not sorrow or bitterness as good days soon come.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Everyone needs a fantasy." - Andy Warhol

 
An early sun crests misty mountaintops to shed light on a harsh reality.  Empty racks and Scooby snacks might lend credence to watery activities but tide and swell are currently conspiring against such play.  Temps have dropped along with spirits as those premature holiday arrivals seek that which is not in the offering.  Only a lackluster NW windswell remains to generate the propulsive means upon shallow waters and this my friends leaves little to the imagination.  Yet the day does retain many beautiful aspects and has the capacity for greatness.


CHANNEL: See the lone pelican bob and weave as he hunts a morning meal.  He is gangly yet graceful as he surveys the sea and swoops along.  See the two sliders attempting rides upon wind-generated rights with a tidal rip running through.  Not nearly as appealing as the aforementioned bird. 


PATCH:
The null experience
Piece it together
It showers you with oceans of the past
And there's no time to breathe

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees." - Hal Borland


Imported light winds as a construct of the morning and someone pulled the plug in the tub and let all the water drain out. Empty rectangular bags of all manner and dripping neoprene costumes denote an activity underway or recently completed. Though a moderate NW windswell resides no remnant of any S can be discerned. Many regard the sea without much curiosity and make their harried way into the breech. Temps are moderate at 54F without the benefit of any sun as it remains permanently cloaked in cloud. If all you ever wanted was the truth then today you will find it.


CHANNEL: Here harbors the misguided masses as they cavort in a sub-sea level playground.   No water / No problem as the angular configuration pushes rights headlong across bars in a direction rarely seen. Mainly waves that are best suited for log proners as witnessed in real time.  Fun is where you find it and today is resides here?


PATCH: The road to rejection is better than no road at all.
