Daily Surf Report - 2/14/2013

Spectacularly beautiful morning here in Bolinas today. Full sunshine, no wind, temp of 48F and lots of beach. Just localized windswell out there with very small surf today but it is so nice here it is worth the trip and hopefully a waves will be here to ride. Leave the shortboards home and bring the log, your loved one, your pet and and picnic today. Fantastic day for beginners.

Channel: Low tide / No tide. No swell / No surf. Glassy, small and beautiful but ankle to knee high right now. Seadrift has a few peaks worth looking at but empty lineup now. Tide is filling in and maybe more water makes this spot cough up a wave or two. It is a longboard day under any circumstances and is a fine beach day as well.

PATCH: Outside meeting rock rollers mostly NOT breaking. Inside waves in the thigh high range look rideable but keep and eye out for exposed rocks as there are many right now. A bit more water and your favorite single-fin log could make this place work later.

Attention: We will be closing early today at 4PM sharp! However, we will reopen tomorrow morning at our usual start time of 10AM. Thank you.

Shiver me timbers and I mean that literally...well, if I were to actually have "timbers" to shiver as it's a cool 44 degrees here at the beach with a bit of an overcast marine layer hugging the ceiling but it promises to burn off later and warm up a smidge as well. The surf is all glassy but not too classy as it looks to be in the throws of a last ditch effort before it takes a leave of absence for a bit. A big board could make your day.

Channel: A waist high (+/-) right that is dwelling on the Sea Drift side of the middle bar this morning is getting a lot of attention as it's the prettiest girl at the dance. It looks to be a clean and quick little corner to glide on or snap a few off-the-lip's upon. With this up coming tide I don't see how it couldn't get even better. There are a seven (7) humanoids doing just that on a smattering of short and long water vehicles as I pontificate about this.

PATCH: Thigh-to-waist high slow rollers outside of the Rock/Meeting Rock/Bulk Head. Naturally, the Patch being the Patch a lot of these will up and die just inside of the Rock/Meeting Rock/Bulk Head as there is a hole there. However, with enough push an occasional wave (generally a set wave) will make it on through. Hey, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now-and-again. The bigger the board the better chances of a glide. Log, log, log!

Happy Fat Tuesday to you all! It's 50 degrees with a light overcast sky here today at the beach as you slide into Marti Gras and git dat gris gris! The swell is still somewhat around but it's about as clean as a bowl of dirty rice with a mess o' crawdad. There are corners to ride upon but it's textured and sloppy a bit, so a huge board may be what it will take to make it work for your groove thang today. Happy Birthday, Abraham Lincoln!

Channel: Waist high (+/-) close-outs at the Groin Pole as well as what is left of the Middle bar. It really looks like it wants to break cleaner and very occasionally it will.... almost, but one will have to wait it out and make the correct wave selection or you might as well of brought a raft and pretend you're shooting the rapids in the Colorado River. There were two longboards but now there are no takers at the moment.

PATCH: Waist (+/-) breaking Way Outside, Outside, middle, inside and even at the Snags. Frequent pulses that are producing the usual Clam Patch variety plate #7, which is pretty much any kind of bump there is; some are breaking clean, most are not and just about all pull the Houdini dissapearing wave act except a few that will roll the whole way through. Use a log and choose wisely and this could be the spot for the day. About six (6) longboards and custodial equipment there now.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

Greetings wave wranglers and Gung Hay Fat Choy! Here we are at the start of another glorious week as, by the look of it thus far it's promising to be a great one. It's sunny out and coming in at around 50 degrees, so be sure to wear some sunblock today campers, as yes you can still get burned. The waves are looking a bit tasty as both spots have something "going on" that is glide-able but don't start thinking Cape St. Francis circa 1964 just yet. Conditions, conditions, conditions is what has to line-up all perfect like and we're still a bit of a ways off for that BUT there is something (read below).

CHANNEL: Waist-to-chest high stuff billowing in at the Groin Pole, (what's left of) the Middle Bar and something way over at Sea Drift BUT they do section fast and close-out quicker than a Drive-In theater (Google it). Two (2) longboards out there now waiting for the second feature.... which I hear is "Attack of the Mushroom People."

PATCH: Waist (+/-) breaking Way Outside, Outside, middle, inside and even at the Snags. It's breaking everywhere and everything but the law. These waves do tend to peak and then flatten back out (aka Liars) or they break, roll for a bit with a sputtering, sectioning face and then also flatten out. There is a left out there that looks good. Big board = long slide. Ten plus (10+) out there now digging the sunshine and the fact that I'm not there crowding the line-up.

BRISK and CHILLY morning but some new swell in the water. About 9ft @1 17 secs, so long interval and waits between sets, but some nuggets rolling through. King tides still ruling as well so watch for big tidal swings and the new swell. Fun surf conditions out here in beautiful cold Bolinas this morning.

CHANNEL: Definitley some swell, surf is in the waist to chest high plus range. Lot's of people spread out out there from seadrift to the boat ramp. Fishes, shortys, boogies, paipos, longboard, simmons, handplanes will all work out there today! Get wet!

PATCH: looking a little confused out there but definitely some sliders n gliders to be had. ABout 20 or so people out on it, with waves in the knee to waist high + range.

Daily Surf Report - 2/9/2013

Brisk and chilly early morning with frosty temps and light ice. Now warming up as high pressure system is in the area and current temp is 43F. Expect nice weather and warmish temps through the weekend. Buoys show decent amount of NW swell with readings of 13' @ 12 secs up and down the coast. Super fun morning session even with tide rising to king levels. Some energy in the water and a few crack-a-lackin waves to be had as well. Smooth ocean with light NE winds. Doesn't get much nicer than this for a beach day in February.

CHANNEL: Peaking tide but delivering rideable and fun waves. Size goes consistently waist high + and a touch bigger on best waves. Rights and lefts being split by the Groin pole. Lefts are rolly, bowly goodness that double up inside. Rights are smooth and long as they run in past the Groin and into the Channel. Long paddles or walk the beach back and repeat. Tide will turn around and head out soon and shape may get better. Enough energy to ride a shorter board and Simmons, Villa, egg or a fish will work. Longboarders are racking up the waves today. Come get wet.

PATCH: Still mostly inside peaks but a few are starting to show outside. Swell may need a bit of time to fill in here and there will be waves to longboard or SUP soon. Rocks are currently covered and will stay that way for a few hours. You'll have to hike up and over the seawall to gain entry but it is a beautiful day to surf the Patch. Size is thigh high or better.

Daily Surf Report - 2/8/2013

Magically beautiful morning here in Bolinas today. Sunshine up above and blue skies, low level fog and mist in the valleys, high pressure weather kicking back in and current temp of 45F. Calm to light winds from the NE. A bit more windswell out there in the 10' @ 12 second range. Enough to generate a few waves once the tide starts to recede. Get it early early morning or wait a few hours for best results.

CHANNEL: Tide peaks in 1/2 hour so mostly shut down at the moment. Will start to turn and run out to a negative until the afternoon. Will help with shape but moving about 8 feet of water so lots of pull through the Channel. Currently a few waves pop up here and there but only rideable on a big board and size is thigh high. Get a cup of coffee and tell surf stories to your friends for an hour or so then check it again to get wet.

PATCH: Inside peaks due to high tide but rideable for a bit until they pound the shore. Rocks are covered but lurk below so use a bit of caution on the inside thumpers. Outside showing a peak here and maybe a peak there but too much water has things pretty calm at the moment. Less water may improve the shape but that will be in an hour or two. Find the Channel surfers and join them for coffee and story time until the tide drops.
