Daily Surf Report - 8/7/2014

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
"Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity". - Seneca: Roman Statesman


No sun and foggy morning.  Light mist and humid at 62F.  No wind and glassy ocean beckons.  On tap is a little SW swell mixing in with our usual NW windswell but combo-ing up to deliver rideable surf this morning.  Small stuff but great for longboards, beginners, surf campers and amateurs as well.  Summer crowds pack the parking spaces and the usual suspects are out in full force as well.  Expect sun later and waves for the day as tide conditions are favorable.  


CHANNEL:  Small waves in the thigh high size but clean lefts off the Groin and rights in the Channel and over at Seadrift.  Incoming tide lending a helping hand and the crowd factor numbers 10+ early risers.  Catch the commuter bus with Andre and find your way to the Mali-Bo neighborhood.  Find a wave to your liking and ride it full throttle.  Hike the afternoon away then repeat again tomorrow.  What could be better?

 
PATCH:   Feeling a touch of the S swell this morning and more water helps out.  Surf is clean and small with consistent rights that push knee high.  A few Logjammers are on it and the single-fin crew will tip toe through the tulips here today.  If the S fills in this should be a consistent spot to surf.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
"Here comes the sun" - George H.


The sun is out and shining with all its glory this morning, finally breaking through the misty cloud bank. As for the surf... still not much this morning as the tide is getting ready to peak. Expect crowds today with the sun and very little parking. Bring your towels and get ready to hike. Maybe venture to some of the scenic trails up on the mesa or go bird watching at the observatory.


CHANNEL: Tiny, glassy, and no one out. Tide is a bit high and there isn't much swell. Maybe with a bit less water it will improve and pick up. Keep positivity in the forefront of your mind but don't hold your breath for this spot today. 

 
PATCH:   Small little knee slappers are rolling in today as six logs and two SUPs are working the conveyor-belt this morning. Should be the call for today as conditions are glassy and bound to stay fairly consistent throughout the day.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
"Live to play" - The new guy (John Priolo)


It's another overcast and dreary morning here in Bo as meteorologists predict rain and possible thunder throughout the day. But that is not to say it is not beautiful, as the fog is sparse and whilst standing atop the overlook, you could see as far as San Francisco and almost (maybe) the Farallons. It's a beautiful sight indeed as the ocean is calm and glassy and the seagulls dominate lake Bolinas. Not too much by way of swell, but a few guys are trying their luck out there. Expect the incoming tide to help the waves way later in the afternoon. 


CHANNEL:  Flat as can be out there this morning. Small little ankle biters are rolling through over on the Seadrift side as no one is out. Could possibly improve later with the tide. The key for today is to WAIT. 

 
PATCH:  Small waves are rolling in on the inside patch and are rideable but don't quite break till way way inside in inches of water. A few guys are out and trying their luck out here this morning. With the tide shift, expect improvement and a crowd.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
"No such thing as a dry run." - Sam "The Young Buck" Jepson



Another typical bobo morning as the fog is thick and low and the air is damp and slightly misting. Peaceful and serene as we kick off this monday morning. Temps are at 58F and bound to stay in the low 60s today as it is looking to be a carbon copy of yesterday. Swell is weak as not much is pushing through this morning in either spot. Once the tide shifts later today expect conditions to pick up and improve with the incoming tide.


CHANNEL:  There's a bit of texture as south winds prevailed through the night. Outgoing tide isn't helping with surface conditions, though once it shifts it should be a bit glassier. Small peaks in the ankle range are breaking in front of the groin pole and over on the seadrift side. One log out as of now sitting a bit too far out. Wait for the tide to shift before we see anything improve in both size and texture.


PATCH: Small waves in the knee high range are rolling in infrequently as one log and one SUP try their luck here this morning. Once again, wait for the tide to shift before anything picks up here.

"A day without laughter is a day wasted." - Charlie Chaplin

This PSA brought to you today by The Ocean:

Please do not take all the beach sand on your wetsuits, booties and surfboards.  The shop does not want it.  The storm drains do not want it.  The streets do not want it, but the ocean does.  Thank you for your cooperation.

The fog is low over the mesa this morning providing the slightest of mist for your morning drive. It is as peaceful as can be with only the sound of the waves breaking and the birds singing their morning song. Hopefully the sun will peak through later today as temperatures are set to rise into the mid 70s from a now 57F. Some swell is showing as waves are breaking in that knee to thigh range, though few and far between. Should be an excellent day for all you nose-riders and gliders and sliders out there willing to lug out that log once again. 

CHANNEL:  A bit textured this morning as the lefts are slowly rolling in and breaking in the knee-thigh possibly thigh+ range. Once the tide shifts in the mid morning, conditions should be cleaner and size may improve. Over on Seadrift a few rollers are going through unriden, but if the last month has shown us anything, seadrift is a safe bet to break and break well later today.


PATCH:  Some knee high rollers are coming through, but very infrequently as is typical for a south swell. Only one guy is out as of now, meditating by the meeting rock. Maybe with a little patience and a bit of tenacity, you can find that magic gem here.

Foggy blanket enveloping the coastal hamlet this morning.  Peace and serenity rule the day.  Winds are calm and ocean is glassed.  We'll see the sun soon enough but for now the vampires run wild through town. Temp is 59F and will again warm into the mid to high 70s.  NW windswell remains with a pesky background SW groundswell that shows itself every so often.  Longboard waves are here for the riding and things are shaping up for a magical weekend.  Find your way to the coast and sample the unending delights.   


CHANNEL:  Groin bar lefts working today in the thigh high + size.  Feeling groovy and fine with the NW windswell action.  There is a bend and wrinkle in time around Mali-Bo that allows for connections to the inside rights that reel at waist high.  Only the chosen few can access the portal but what waits inside is special.  A bit choppy in the Channel with outgoing tide but water levels remain positive like our attitudes and that is a good thing.  Seadrift exploration will yield results but size does vary. 


PATCH:  Still small with the periodic SW swell bump.  Plenty of waiting time to ponder the knee high mini peelers that dominate this morning.  Out by the meeting rock a few better waves will pop up in the thigh high size only to fizzle out quickly.  Tide levels are good and if a confluence of events collaborates correctly this spot will have afternoon waves.  For now - empty lineup.

1:00pm Update:  Sun shines brightly and temps are up to 72F!  Surf does remain small but rideable.


Cool, calm and collected morning with no wind and glassy conditions.  Crystals are aligned for positivity and perfection.  Coastal cloudiness which will give way to sun by the afternoon.  Temp is in at 60F and should warm up nicely.  NW windswell in play giving you something to work with in the Channel.  SW groundswell working its way up the coast and may deliver waves later.  Still fun but small waves for your longboarding pleasure today. 


CHANNEL: Middle Groin bar lefts working today in the thigh high size.  Seems to like the NW windswell action and regular waves appearing although not super clean or shapely.  Long rides possible and Mali-Bo bus connection can be made.  Channel bar has SUPers standing around waiting to sweep things clean.  A few waves here and there and size is knee high plus.  Incoming tide push was worthwhile yesterday afternoon. 


PATCH:  Small to nearly flat conditions.  Might see SW swell later today with more water and time.  Empty lineup with double over barnacle waves in play.  Great for kayaks and swimming or the big big board crowd.  Keep one eye open for improvement later.
