Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter." - Mark Twain

 
No laughing matter and likely a day only Mr. Warmth could appreciate.  On and off heavy stuff coming down as a new deluge is upon us with rain gauges showing 1.5" or more.  Jupiter in Opposition and massive overnight winds which have since calmed but have left debris and dregs on both land and sea.  Hefty NW swell builds while plenty of SW windswell lingers.  Unfortunately a deep calming period will be required in order to make today a surf day for all but the most N facing beaches.  Try Wait. 

 

CHANNEL: Awash in heaps of whitewater and unformed in many aspects.  Lots of tide and much swell not mixing well with current S winds.  If the rain stops and the winds die off and the tide drops - there will be reason for another look see.  Not sure if any of that will happen today. 

PATCH:  SW windswell negotiating high tides and strong winds.  Ruinous remnants of varying proportions suitable for nothing involving slides or rides.  Whatever mileage we put on, we'll take off.  We'll drive home backwards.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"If you can believe it, the mind can achieve it." - Ronnie Lott

 
Selective and sporadic rain falls though not the heavy stuff for now.  Some associated S winds but not enough to keep stoke seekers away as a solid NW swell emerges and is lightly backed by a light SW pulse.  Temps hover at 50F and skies are misted over and clouded.  Neither glamorous nor glorious out but not uninviting either. 

 

CHANNEL: An amorphous pod hovers and hangs in anticipation.  As deeper tides arrive the Channel bar is where the group attempts their efforts.  Shuffling and shuttling along trying to align with the rhythm of the sea.  When it comes it contains surface texture and roams waist high and above.

PATCH:  Buffeted by winds and having the SW swell knocked down and out, it is currently the operational region of kayaks and surf casters.  Not sure either is having the best of luck at the moment.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Pay heed to the tale of old wives. It may well be that they alone keep in memory what it was once needful for the wise to know." J.R.R Tolkien

 
Slow start to the morning, as it seems this Wednesday has left countless people sitting in cars during that morning traffic. The water lays reflective, calm and sleeping it seems but leaves a whisper of something good later in the day as the NW swell lingers on. Catch them while you can for the 54F temperature is destined to rise but the sun is prophesied to stay hidden in anticipation for what this upcoming storm has in store.

 

CHANNEL: Do you remember that feeling when you were a little kid and you were so full and tired that it took all your energy to get ready for bed? That seems to be the mood here - full, groggy and completely empty. After a little nap and a change in water levels there is a promise in the wind that it will produce.

PATCH:  I see more people standing and kayaking than those using their own two hands to catch the wave. There are some waist high rollers but unless you like competing for wave I'd follow the waves that are not congested - they exist, one must only open their eyes.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Maybe it's just that you don't grow up any faster than what you have to." - Cormac McCarthy
 

Ripping, roaring and rocking it is not today. It seems the weekend has taken the waves with it and left some of the people. We are seeing a pick up of S swell coming in but it is just a taste as the NW windswell has filled out palate for the past while and are slowly but surely fading. There is a mixture of light grey clouds letting the sun peek through to offer up that 54F temperature with mild winds; safe to say, if you have not lost the kid inside of you, it may well be a day for play. 

 

CHANNEL: The lone sole heads out for a quick paddle as the surf here begins to pick up; seems as if someone has an eye for solitude and surf. Seeing some rollers peaking just at chest height giving way for a quick, desirable ride.

PATCH:  Populated and low it is. Some seem to be sitting ducks waiting for something that may never come, while others paddle ferociously, kicking to catch that calm, joyous ride.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"If you don't have a dream, there is no way to make one come true." - Steven Tyler
 

Subdued, to a degree, as the Monday work week rolls around.  Breakers, takers and booty shakers still linger for the larger combo-ing NW swells that remain in play.  Parking thin and dwindling in the early hours as dropping tides decrease rides.   Full sunshine and 47F with no wind in sight.  Feels like summer in April.

 

CHANNEL: Redeeming rollers go unoccupied as only those with keen eyes can spy opportunity.  Multiple bars showing poise and promise with swell angles tilted towards decency.  Size ranges with chest high routes to nirvana available.

PATCH:  Again drawing the most attention as residual NW forces mingle around and force their way upon Patch reefs.  Well, well outside is the land of the paddle wielders and long loggers with smooth faces going places if you are up for the journey.   Insider trader rights still have enough aqua coverage to reveal themselves and roll unimpeded towards shore.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"It takes madness to find out madness." - Lady Gregory
 

MADNESS on the rise this morning as streets are already packed full and fender benders have already occurred and will again. Keep your eyes peeled and watch where you step, cars dodging and willing to get the spot whether you're there or not. Tides lining up today, as the prime has already passed for the early hours and will not return for a few more. Swell doing A okay and everybody seems to know it.

CHANNEL: None choose, only to escape the crowd that keeps growing.

PATCH:  40+ people ranging from the boat ramp to the rocks and counting. Pounds of people headed that way still to be a part of the jungle. Knee-Thigh high  but consistent. Once again the word of the day is MADNESS.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain." -Victor Hugo
 

Early morning mystery turns into reality as the sun reveals what is unseen in  darkness. Some would say today is the day, the majority would agree. Bright light warms our faces and brings us to familiar places such as here, where we sit and wonder if it is us that's being called upon. Positive highs counter negative lows but as of now, all rocks are exposed. Keep an eye out for better hours, the best has yet to come.
 

CHANNEL: Blinding reflections forbid vision but one can assume the least. Little shore liners stumble in but have no meaning.

PATCH:  A game of dodge rock in action while few are to the task. If you tip toe and tread lightly it is possible to find what you're looking for. As of now your knees will stay dry.
