Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Sometimes you eat the bar-sometimes the bar eats you." -Sam Elliot from The Big Lebowski

Good morning practitioners of the slide! It's yet another slate gray and drizzly summer morning here at the beach. The temperature is a balmy 59 degrees and the on-shore wind has backed off a bit. Still no swell to be found but hey, it's summer in Bo. Remember, this is all temporary and things will change...they ALWAYS do. The only thing in the water right now is the lifeless body of an adult seal washing up in front of the Pilings/Play Pen. Terrific....

CHANNEL:  Low tide. Not much of a swell. Maybe later with the tide change? maybe not? I'll post if anything happens.

 

 

PATCH: Nothing here but broken dreams and busted fin boxes.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Boy, sometimes you gotta' eat a lot of sh*t before you know what a sirloin tastes like." -my grandpa

Good morning everyone to another gray and drizzly summer morning here at the beach. Yes, as crude as the inspirational quote may be to some of the folks with delicate sensibilities it rings true for today as one must pay their dues before they can appreciate the finer things. With a temperature slinking in at 59 degrees and a pretty strong on-shore wind it's looking pretty crummy out there right now. Here's where you're paying the dues because as surfers we all know days like these come along BUT they also go away and then that day arrives where the glassy emerald green slide inducers arrive and you are ready for the sirloin.

CHANNEL:  Lumpy and bumpy (not the name of a vaudeville comedy team) that if one were to actually go out you may get a 10 to 20 yard ride with a board big enough for separate zip codes. Not much of a swell combined with a very strong on-shore = no bueno. No one out.

 

 

PATCH: No breaking waves here. In fact, there isn't enough swell for the Patch to break wind today. On-shore winds and a creepy oil/gasoline slick coming in between the Play Pen/Pilings and the Green/Graffiti wall makes my skin crawl. No one here either.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Ill let you be in my dream if I can be in yours." -Bob Dylan

Today is a beautiful day in town. WE have clear skies and an air temp of 59*F. Today I would like everyone to stop, take a deep breath, and think. Think about why you paddle out, why you surf, and why you do anything. Take a moment to appreciate the place you are and the people you are with. Not much in the wave department and a slight texture to the waters surface. Not a perfect surf day but it still can be a perfect day. Give out a few hugs and if your coming to the beach, bring a positive vibe.

CHANNEL:  All bits, snips, rips with not to many lips. Surf is about ankle to knee high and no one in the water. Bumpy, but with a big board, you can have the best micro bumpy ride of your life. Its a day for a peaceful paddle and some much needed solitude.

 

 

PATCH: Stubbed toes make some sad bros as its looking shallow and barely breaking. Tide is on its way in so keep an eye out but don't count out this patch for your surfing harvest today.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Your present circumstances don't determine where you go, only where you start." -Nido Qubein

Its a sweet and sour day inn town. Sweet people, a sweet morning and sweet feelings are sadly accompanied but some sour skies and sour seas. The wind gods must have taken some Viagra last night as there is a not so flaccid south wind smacking everything around. Surf is bumpy and barely breaking and the air temp is at 57*F.

CHANNEL:  Seeing a small crew of paddle pushers and log rollers trying for everything but with little luck. Surf looks about knee to thigh high with a mild serving of white caps. Head out and make the best of this harsh day.

 

 

 

PATCH: The sheep are out to pasture and white caps are grazing through the whole rock patch today. No surfers out and an equal number of rideable waves. go for a bumpy paddle and be positive.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:

"The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun"
- Duke Kahanamoku


It is  sunny, clear, calm and beautiful this morning.  Current temp is 58F and it is warming up nicely.  I've got my crystal decoder / mood ring on and it is reading a teal green which has me in an aquatic frame of mind.  A ray of hope on the horizon and in the water as small BUT rideable waves can be found today.  Little bit of S swell starting to trickle up the coast and today is a day you can get wet and stand on a surfboard. 

 

CHANNEL:  A few rolling through in the Channel and clocking in at knee to thigh high in size.  Longboard-able is a YES so pull out something 9.0' or bigger and take a dip.  Weather is fantastic an incoming tide push may be just the ticket to get some better waves today.  3 are in the water and a few more suiting up as it is enticing today in comparison to the earlier part of the week.

 

 

PATCH: Relatively flat with a very occasional inside right.  Knee high + in size but enough water there to keep the rocks at bay.  Keep you eye and heart open to change here and let the crystals guide you to Mother Ocean.  Good tide heights all day.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:

“In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.”
 - Theodore Roosevelt


It is calm as a crystal and twice as glassy.  Overcast but warm with early morning temp of 62F.  Sun working its way through the clouds and should be here soon.  Expecting warmth through the weekend.  Small and meager surf continues as we wait out this summer flat spell.  Use the power and positive energy of the crystal to channel positive vibes towards  Nereus, Proteus, Glaucus and Phorkys.  These are minor sea gods but at this point a little bit of surf will go a long way. 

 

CHANNEL:  Mostly shore break ankle slappers with no real surf to ride.  A minor uptick was seen in the Channel as a breaking wave in the knee high + range rolled through.  1 surfer has been enticed out to the lineup and is now waiting for the next wave to appear.  A nice positive outlook and maybe our prayers will soon be answered.  Calm and peaceful if you want to get wet.  Getting in the ocean will always change the outlook of your day.

 

 

PATCH: Continues to be flat.  Tide is coming in and there might be something on the inside Snags later in the day but for now bring the SUP or kayak for best results.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:

"Go out to the rock.
Take out of the medicine bag the crystal that matches the crystal in Tamalpais.

And if your heart is not true
if your heart is not true
when you tap the rock in the clam patch
a little piece of it will fly off 

and strike you in the heart
and strike you dead. "

 - Miwok Indian proverb from early 1900s

Sunny and already warm at 64F.  No wind and also a flat ocean.  No surf to speak of whatsoever today.  Flat as far and wide as the eye can see.  Great day for sand castles and swimming, gardening or biking, book reading or errands, paying bills or fixing dings.  It is truly a gloriously, beautiful day even if the waves are not cooperative. 

 

CHANNEL: Flat and Flat.  Ankle bone.

 

 

PATCH: Flat and more Flat.  Barnacle sized.
