A Moderate Monday,

59 degrees, light overcast/haze, light winds out of the west, with fun little waves in both spots.

Channel: Not crowded like yesterday, that is for sure. There are some waves coming through, in the knee to waist range, with occasional bigger sets. Not many people out at the moment 3-5 or so....

Patch: kind of longboardable. lined up around knee high, great for the begining surfers.

Daily Surf Report - 4/29/2012

Hazy over castness shrouds Bobo, but we will most likely be seeing the sun soon. Lot's of movement swilling around the streets this morning, and a fading short period local windswell in the water. Air temp about 53 degrees and not much wind to speak of, a little bit of texture on an otherwise lake-like ocean surface, serene dribblers at the end of Aprildom.

Channel: not too much surf here but plenty making a go of it. The tide peaked earlier and is draining until a little after noon today. Waves in the shin-knee high range. About 17 longboarders out and a few SUPs with more people suiting up to enjoy the spinning tiny lefts out there, I saw a few little peelers that could be just right for the right surfer, right board, right attitude and right position, glide through to the shore past the groin and have a pina colada, cut through all that red tape.


Patch: Nothing happening at this spot. Lots of rocks, no waves, and no one out.

Daily Surf Report - 4/28/2012

Clear blue skies, sunshine and moderately breezy from the north. Sunshine and warm temps predicted through the weekend. Currently 55F and nice. Little combo swell starting to show with rideable waves today. The right equipment will get you waves.

Channel: Tide heading low and ripping out through the Channel. Tough to hold your spot in the lineup but right place and right time gets you fun waves. Rights and lefts to ride. NW wind swell and small south show a bit today. Surf in the waist high range with a bit bigger and better on the long period sets. Some close-out but the drop is fun and if you make the corner the rides are long.


Patch: Kayaks and SUPs for paddling at the moment. Still pretty flat but occasional waves. Scattered peaks about knee high and soft. Try a big log and maybe get lucky. This could be fun later today in the afternoon with water.

Daily Surf Report - 4/27/2012

Sunny, warm and smooth. Nice morning in Bolinas. Winds are very light from the N and Temp is 55F. Sunshine predicted through the weekend. Tide heading to a low and waves are small. The right equipment will get you waves.

Channel: Low low and going lower tide. Will switch in an hour and fill in. Knee high waves at best right now but break along and can be fun. Great day to learn. Still waiting for the next swell to hit and increase size. More water may help.


Patch: 1 kayaker out past the far meeting rock. Still pretty flat but occasional waves. Scattered peaks about knee high and soft. Try a big log and maybe get lucky. This could be fun later today in the afternoon with water.

Daily Surf Report - 4/26/2012

Closing Early Today at 2:30pm.
PJHS track meet vs. Kenilworth. Cross-town rivalry meet.
Go Bantams!

It was raining and now it is not. Winds are from the N and the ocean is actually very smooth and calm. Temp is 55F and balmy with sunshine predicted. Small patches of blue sky showing through at times. Heading to a negative and ocean is currently flat.

Channel: Low low tide, will be coming up from negative. Knee high waves at best right now. Great day to learn. Could have more size with more water but next swell activity looks to be a day or so away from arriving.

Patch: Looks like a lake with meeting rock sticking out. Fun for a SUP paddle or swim but very little wave activity at this time. This could be fun too later today in the afternoon with water.

Daily Surf Report - 4/25/2012

The winds are still down, and it looked more pleasant this morning than what I was expecting. The wind is light 3 mph out of the west, about 58 degrees, overcast, and there is no one out, but there are tiny tiny waves breaking through, even though we just had a negative tide.

Channel: Low low tide, coming up from negative, occasional knee high peak showing through, will have more size i imagine in a little bit when more water fills in.

Patch: actually saw a fun little right break off the inner sandbar at about knee high, rare for the low tide- probably hecka kelpy, but this could be fun too later today.

PS~ 2mile will most likely close at around 3:30 today if business is slow, if you would like to rent, please come in earlyish ~

PM update***********************1:30pm
The tide has filled in and there are little waves in the channel, waste high lefts. One guy out on a log, getting lots of waves.
Small patch too~~~~~~~~~~~~

The winds have mellowed out a tad, and the conditions have become much better than yesterday morning. The tide is out really low, too low to really let any waves in at the moment, I will check back in a few hours to see if the shape has improved. For now, occasional knee high sets at the groin are bulging through. Conditions are alright, about 59 degrees, light 3mph wind out of the SW, and overcast skies. A few dudes out.

Channel: Low low tide, coming up from negative, for now,
Patch: Maybe it will be better here today with more water coming in and the kelp could protect a little from the wind, but for now, not too pretty.

Patch: Drained
