Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." - Mark Twain
 

And a good morning to all of you bipeds of the brine. It's a gray morning here today at the beach as the sun seems to be sleeping in today. The temperature is sneaking in at a comfortable 53 degrees and the birds are all out singing in the key of Tom waits. The recent swell we had is dissipating but there is still a smidgen of something slightly resembling a wave here and there because the piano's been drinking.... not me.... not me.




CHANNEL:  The sand bars are showing their gams right now and what little bit of emerald goodness is left is sloppy like a three-gin & tonic debutant. Occasional waist high white water splatter that's about as clean as a bum living in a refrigerator box. Maybe later with the tide change...? Three (3) out there now struggling.

PATCH:  Pop-up waves outside and in the middle of the Patch in the waist-to-below size BUT, it's the Patch and most of these waves roll along before either a) Section then vanish into the brine from which they once came, or b) Rear up, roll for a few seconds and without ever breaking they vanish to where they once came. A few longboarders and of course, janitor boards are out there now playing "Whack-A-Mole."

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. 

Respect the Beach.

TIDES:

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them." - James Baldwin
 

Good morning to all of you humanoids of watery realities! Truly another great morning here at the beach as the sun is up with that gold-toothed grin again, the birds are singing in the key of John Coltrane as the temperature is loping in at a soothing 47 degrees. Now, one would think, "Gee, that sounds pretty nice. It doesn't really get much better than that." Hold on kids because it actually does get a bit better... there is surf in town. Not crazy, off-the-chain, macking green slabs but there is surf here. So, on this President's day go ahead and apply the rubber coating, grab the hydrodynamic vehicle of your choice and go get some liquid salt therapy.


CHANNEL:  Waist (+) over that middle bar that is making about as much noise as two skeletons throwing a fit on a tin roof. The Groin Pole and the Sea Drift side seem to be the ticket here as I write this. Sometimes they are clean runs, other occasions they section like the the Sunday New York Times. The discerning eye will dictate the wave selection for you. Several out there now on various craft and more in the parking lot getting ready to take the plunge.

PATCH:  Lines-lines-lines. Outside, the middle, inside, the Snags, E.T's, Green/Africa.. blah, blah, blah. Though it's all in the waist (+/-) range not a heck-of-a-lot of them are breaking cleanly and, typical of the Clam Patch some rear up...roll for a ways then disolve back into the brine without even a whimper. Still, there is something to be had as the ever-growing crowd can attest to that is out there now.

Well, top of the morning to all of you lads & lassies of the brine! It's a glorious morning at the beach this fine Sunday, although it's 47 degrees the sun is up and grinning it's high-wattage smile as the birds are singing in the key of James Brown and everyone is getting on the good foot. There is actually a bit of surf to ride in town as well, so snap on the neoprene and grab that log and get funky like a bow-legged monkey before that high tide ruins the fun!


CHANNEL:  Waist (+/-) right, smack dab on the middle bar. Not a ton of clean rides in the middle, but the left is showing promise and waaaaay over at the Sea Drift side it's looking like a freshly painted MUNI... so, get your Fast Pass ready and ride the express. Ten (10) plus out there now with more getting ready for the Sunday glide.

PATCH:  It looks like the Patch has finally had it's morning cup of coffee, albeit a cup that might be too weak to defend itself. Knee (+/-) rolling in over the middle of the Clam Patch as well as at the Snags and over at E.T's/Ladies Lefts. Only one (1) patron belling up to the counter for a cup 'o Joe before that tide comes up and pours your coffee out.

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“Those who wish to sing, always find a song.” - Swedish Proverb

Drink your coffee, snarf your Valentine chocolates, grab your love crystal and welcome to the weekend.  All crystals have been charged by last night's full moon.  Power is at max capacity for excellence.  Overcast and moist but no rain.  Temp a moderate 54F with a chance of rain later.  A bit of South wind on in this morning making for textured surfaces and mixed conditions.  Still have NW windswell and a bit of background S in the water but not much size or energy.  Small waves for longboards can be found if your eyes and mind are open to new possibilities.  Cherish the love of your life and the waves of the day and hold them close and dear.


CHANNEL:  Small surf on tap today as mostly windswell in charge.  Rising tide helping with a little push and post Valentine surf is in progress.  A mix of Groin bar lefts that reel at thigh high and inside Mali-BO-ish rights that are shin shaking and ankle breaking.  Already 6 in the water ripping it up.  Bring your longboard and sweetie pie to the beach and get wet today.

PATCH:  Very small and very weak - like me!  Barely breaking on the inside section and calf high waves can be observed.  Whether they can be ridden or not is another story.  Tide is on the rise and that could help or hurt.  You be the judge and let us know your experiences.  Currently an empty lineup but that could change if one person paddles out.  Be a trend setter and go for it.

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. 

Respect the Beach.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.” - Lao Tzu

Happy Valentine's Day to all you surfers and couples out there.  Show the love, feel the love, be the love that is inside your heart.  Misty, light drizzle, full coastal fog envelopes Bolinas today.  Temp is 56F.  Clearing - maybe.  Fear not, take the leap of faith, throw on some neoprene and jump in the ocean.  Find your happy place and find your lucky wave.  The ocean is smooth and fog covered.  The winds are light and there is a little swell pulse in the water.  Nothing can be seen but guesses can be ventured.  There are rollers right in front of the ramp and that is a good sign.  I'd say paddle out.  The heavy stuff wont be here for a while.


CHANNEL:  Unknown as to wave size but this much is true:
Incoming tide, a bit of NW windswell with a decent interval.  A small background S swell that will be filling in.  Follow the morning crew lead.  Grab a longboard and head to the Groin pole.  What awaits is nothing but goodness and mystery.  Report back to us and we'll all keep it secret.  

PATCH: Inside waves are visible near the graffiti wall and I expect the same is working at the Snags today.  Rising tide for another 2 hours.  Find that special someone and take them on a journey into the fog.

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT.

CLOSING EARLY TODAY.  WILL REOPEN FRIDAY AT 10am

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.” - Albert Einstein

Feels like new beginnings here today with patchy skies and possible clearing.  Some coastal overcast with hints of sun playing hide and seek.  No wind and no rain.  Balmy at 54F and very glassy ocean surface.  Just a little mix of NW windswell but enough to form waves.  Overall nice conditions here today for surfing potential on longboards.  Add some wax to your board and paddle out.  There is always something in the water that will put a smile on your face.


CHANNEL:  Small, smooth and glassy rollers.  Going thigh high but breaking and rideable.  Mostly lefts off the Channel bar and incoming tide push rights over at Seadrift.  Jump in and find your wave as conditions are better than they have been for the last few days.  Nothing epic but there are waves to catch and ride.  3 in the water here.

PATCH: Inside at the Snags is working.  Rising tide keeps the rocks covered and will keep this spot going for a while.  Smooth rights that run towards the sand and go thigh high +.  You know the drill: lather / rinse / repeat.

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT.
