Daily Surf Report - 1/1/2013

Welcome to 2013! Top o' the dog and hair of the morning to everyone. Clear, sunny and brisk at 40F with swirling winds. Beautiful start to the New Year. New dose of NW swell not exactly translating to epic conditions in town this morning but lots of raw energy out there today. Toss your cares into the sideshore winds and RESOLVE. A cold dip in the ocean will cure all your ills.

Again, a high incoming tide is coming later in the day so please be mindful when entering/exiting the water as one should keep there eyes open and head on a swivel when traversing the boat ramp (be aware of the incline, holes and exposed rebar)... and yes we do have in-house ding repair if needed.


CHANNEL: Mostly pieces and parts. Lumpy, bumpy and sections all over. Like great grandma's mashed potatoes. Occasionally a smooth one that found some extra butter comes through. Overall worth 1 helping. Middle Bar and Groin Pole and Seadrift all about waist high. Shallow inside due to sand movement out of the boat channel causing most of the waves to fold over or just dump without much riding area. Maybe more water will help here and tide peaks in the early afternoon.

PATCH: Still have thigh/waist high rollers but not clean or consistent. Some want to break but don't and others break then section out or die. Still have logs and SUPs in the water looking for the magic ride and tide covers all rocks today. A decent place to start your surfing year off.



PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. Respect the Beach.

LOW: 7:35 am 2.7'

Daily Surf Report - 12/31/2012

Goodmorning to you all of you liquid salt wave sliders. Sunny with a bit of off shore wind and a brisk 38 degrees to freeze dry your brain this morning here at the beach. Not a whole lot of a swell in the drink but there is a tiny bit of something on this last day of 2012 for you to enjoy.

Again, a high incoming tide is coming later in the day so please be mindful when entering/exiting the water as one should keep there eyes open and head on a swivel when traversing the boat ramp (be aware of the incline, holes and exposed rebar)... and yes we do have in-house ding repair if needed.

CHANNEL: Smallish in the waist-to-below waist at the moment. Breaking across the Middle Bar and Groin Pole. With the incoming high tide it may wash it out until later this afternoon. Again, be mindful when paddling out by the ramp/Airplane house as that tide + wall will beat you like you owe it money. About five (5) out there now thinking like Laird and surfing like Barney. Big borads apply here.

PATCH: With the current tide the Patch is making a teeny, tiny bit of noise with around thigh/waist high rollers but that will be silenced rather quickly when the high tide arives in it's "fun Police" uniform and kills the fun dead. Six (6) out now but it must be plenty dirty as four (4) of them are janitors sweeping up. Even bigger boards are needed here. At least the rocks are covered up...



PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. Respect the Beach.

Daily Surf Report - 12/30/2012

Sunshiny morning with light offshore wind and a temp of 40F. Beautiful winter day here in Bolinas. Still some raw ocean energy out there but bars need to reform a bit. Rideable waves but sectiony at times. Definitely worth a dip in the ocean. Parking lot is filling up.

Again a high incoming tide later this morning and decent amount of swell in the water. Look before you leap, assess the entrance and exit to the ocean, watch for other surfers heading in or out and use good judgement. The Boat Ramp is steep, slippery, mean and nasty with exposed holes and rebar. The Boat Ramp is like the Honey Badger. The Boat Ramp don't give a f*ck about your or your fancy board or your personal possessions or your loved ones. The Boat Ramp will chew you up and spit you out. Lots of carnage experienced yesterday with damaged boards and humans as well. Be careful and yes we do have in-house ding repair if needed.

CHANNEL: Cleaning up a bit more today with longer rides available. Be patient and pick the right waves and you will be rewarded with open faces to make turns on. Seadrift rights are best and going waist high. Rights holding up well and a crew of 6 on it. Channel bar wave is a bit bigger but has sections. Clean ones roll through the Channel and are fast and smooth. Lefts are pieces and parts but a few do connect to the inside. Mali-Bo inside rights starting to work with more tide and size is thigh to waist. A few miscellaneous peaks inside of the Groin.

PATCH: Usual suspects out in force today as scattered peaks are rideable on big boards and SUPs. About 10-12 in the water right now. Size is almost waist high with mostly rights and the occasional left. Incoming tide has all rocks covered but access requires up and over the seawall today.

Daily Surf Report - 12/29/2012

Scattered clouds with hints of sunshine. Temp of 46F with moderate to stiff offshore winds grooming and cleaning things up a bit here in town and making both spots rideable options today. Tide peaks in a few hours so jump on it now. Full parking lot of surfers already in the water.

MATUSE wetsuit year-end sale. 25% off all wetsuits for men and women. All the details are HERE

CHANNEL: Shifting bars from recent storms starting to settle down. Still sectiony but good swell numbers on the buoys delivering waves to ride. Deeper Channel bar is best with wide waves waist to chest high in size rolling through. Rights into the Channel will require a bit of paddling to get back out due to incoming tide. Lefts at the Groin waist high and relatively smooth. A variety of equipment will work today.

PATCH: Working today with rights looking waist high and spread out peaks in the area. About 4-6 in the water. High tide may swamp it out but holding up so far. Bring your big board and ride.

Daily Surf Report - 12/28/2012

Early morning sunrise and glassy conditions. Now a bit overcast with light ENE winds and starting to drizzle. Mixed and jumbled at times with incoming tide starting to make its presence felt. Fading NW swell but still energy out there at times. Current temp is 44F. It is dry now but rain is predicted tonight. There is some surf out there so get on it and ride some waves.

CHANNEL: Warbly at times with high tide and boat wakes causing bumps all over. Most waves are sectiony but a few hold up for long rides. Rights in the Channel going waist high and a few lefts at the Groin that are smooth. Tide is right for Mali-Bo now and that may be the best call as things peak. Good amount of water coming in so be prepared to do a bit of paddling to hold position and paddle through the Channel as well. A morning crew of about 8-10 in the water.

PATCH: No takers yet but a few waves here as conditions clean up. Better than it has been but not special. Afternoon session as tide heads out is the call and was the spot yesterday. Size looks to be almost waist high.

Daily Surf Report - 12/27/2012

Sunny, clear and lightly offshore breeze. A nice change from our recent conditions but get it while it lasts because the weatherman says another storm is on the way. It is a tidy 50F this morning with smoothing ocean conditions and rideable waves as well. Incoming tide starting to swamp it out but those in the water are getting some waves.

CHANNEL: Waist high pop up peaks from the boat ramp over to the Groin and Channel as well. Lots of N swell on the buoys and it can translate to decent surf as conditions continue to clean up. Noontime tide swing could be the call as water drains out. About 5-6 currently in the water.

PATCH: Small but high tide at the moment. Maybe knee to thigh high waves but it is not working to good yet. Less water later may help and we'll update if improvement occurs.

Daily Surf Report - 12/26/2012

It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is.... writing the surf report. Goodmorning to all of you mariners of the glide. It's a rainy and cold hump day here at the beach with a chilly 47 degrees and intermintent rain and storm conditions. Big-high tide making everything warbley and messy. Not much to ride this morning but maybe later with the tide change...'course, the weather would have to cooperate as well. I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you.

CHANNEL: Waist high slop not fit enough for the pigs. Huge high tide acting just like "the man" ...it's keeping everything down! It is a radical tide swing today BUT the weather is also here to harsh your buzz. If there is change I will make a note of it here later. If not, then no update will be given. No one out right now (duh).

PATCH: They say that beauty is only skin deep...well, this morning the Patch is demonstrating that ugliness is clean down to the bone. Speed bumps trying to make a show of it but too much water is making the bounce back look better than the actual surf (which looks terrible). Maybe later....yeah, like maybe later in the week! No body out there...obviously.
