A free weekend, but the surf was almost non-existent. It was surfable until today when it got super small (figures). Laura's mom and dad came with, so I was able to try out my new Dakine cross bar pads which arrived an hour before. They worked really well. The waves were about shin- knee and kinda choppy with a SE wind, but nearly unsurfable. The water was warm though, maybe mid 60's. The ocean just looked ugly. I actually caught a couple of pathetic "rides". But the best part was I gave Melissa and Evan each rides on my board. They liked it a lot. Too bad there was no surf cause it was low tide. We played some frisbee and went to, ya, you guessed it, Fast Eddies. It was nice to spend some time with the kids at the beach.
I got barreled! (I think)...or tubed or whatever. I was crouching low and holding the rails on a right when it happened. Awesome surf from Hurricane Danielle which was way out at sea producing some nice pacific style ground swell sets in the waist to head range. Mostly waist to chest high, but there were some occasional head high sets that would catch you inside. Got a lot of fun rides, rights and lefts,but there were a lot of swimmers to watch out for. I had to bail a couple time on the face to avoid spearing people. There were all kinds of surfers, old, young, girls, etc. The waves were really easy to catch and I actually got two sessions in! After surfing I helped Mel and Madison catch some little waves on their boogy boards. This was Mel's first time in surf and she did awesome! I was pretty tired by the end of the day. We got caught in a lot of beach traffic and went to Fast Eddies afterwards.
I'm not even sure this deserves an entry into the surf log, but what the hey. This was part of our week long Mattapoisett stay, which was really fun. I've been trying to go to this beach for 10 years and every time I go to check it out I get skunked. This was a couple days after the epic Hurricane Bill swell, so leftovers were likely, or so it would seem. The report for Newport looked like waist high and semi-clean and I know it was OK there, but we opted to go to the always SW wind blown poor wave quality Horseneck. I know there must be good surf here occasionally, but I would have to quit my job to find it. Anyways, it was knee-thigh and very messy short waves, so not surfable. I overheard someone say that it was clean right before we arrived so I think we might have just missed the swell since I did see a surfboard or 2 down the beach. Anyways, I went body surfing and it was pretty fun. Got some nice rides in warm water without a wetsuit. Parking was a reasonable $7.
Based on the knee high forecast, I was thinking of not even bringing my board down for our camping weekend at Nickerson with the McKeons. But it being the cape, knee high really means waist high, kinda like the Hawaii mentality. We ended up going to beach on the windiest and smallest of the 3 days. The beach was packed and was still pretty small from the June noreaster erosion. There was a 15-20 mph south wind and the surf was choppy and bumpy but about knee-waist with occasional slightly bigger. I'm glad I brought my board. I got a few decent but short rides. Some rights and lefts. Although Scott and the kids walked up to watch and brought with them flatness. The waves were pretty mushy and kinda fizzled out at the end and you had to pump em. The wind blew me pretty far north and I got a good workout. After surfing, I put on my 2 mil top and rode some shorebreak with Zach. That hurt. And afterwards, you guessed it...the earlybird at Arnolds.
Second surf of the cape vacation. The Chaskelsons came down for the day and we went to Marconi Beach afer the signs said that Nauset Light was full. We got free parking to the National Seashore Beaches with the Chaskelson's Golden Eagle Pass!! The waves were pretty choppy due to the northeast wind and about waist high. Unfortunately the best waves were in the no surfing zone right in front of us so I went down the beach. I talked to a kid who was on vacation, tried to give him some pointers. There were only a couple people surfing and lots of swimmers cause the water was really warm. I used my 2 mil top. As for the waves, I got a bunch of really fun rides, mostly lefts and a lot of them with diving dismounts. Had one nice wipeout and my top filled with water like a balloon, kinda weird. Fun surf. waist high chop wind-nne @ 12-18 mph High - 9:00 am Low - 3:00 pm the conditions are POOR today due to the unfavorable North-east winds & unorganized swell.
We finally got to the beach this year after the Birth of Evan. He is almost 4 months, so we decided to give it a try. Air temp was in the 70's and the water was low 60's. Wind was from the east at 10 mph. This was the beginning of swell from Tropical Storm Bertha. The wave quality was very good being not too steep and not too mushy and mostly waist high with some chest high. Pretty easy to catch. But the "sets" were far apart. Sometimes there would only be one wave per set and all 10 of us would go for it. I surfed 2 sessions and caught only about 3 waves per session due to the lack of quantity. But the rides I got were quality. Both rights and lefts and a couple nice long ones. I was able to work my way around the white water and back into the fase on almost all of them. Jeness wasn't allowing surfing in the center area where all the good waves seemed to be. I was pretty sore for a couple days afterward even though I didn't do a lot of paddleing. Evan's first surf trip!
The nesurf.com forecast gave it the green light for this day with waist high clean swell. So I decided to get in a mid-day session before going to my job site in Methuen. I got there around 12:20 and it looked lame. It was low tide and almost breaking on the shore. Maybe the tides have something to do with where it breaks at the wall. Seems like mid tide is usually the best bet there. Anyways, it was rather clean with a light SW wind. I had to be positioned very close to the shore break to get rides, which I got a fair amount of in my 45 min. session. But the rides were milisecond in length before the wave completely collapsed. I wore my booties, but might not have needed them. It was nice to be out surfing on a beautiful day regardless.
I'm writing this about 3 weeks after the fact, so it is kinda hard to remember everything. It was a really hot day and surf was up, so we went to the Wall. The tide was low, so there was room for Melissa to play on the beach. The waves were about waist high ground swell, but there were some long waits between sets. There was an occasional chest high set. It was a warm south wind, but I wore my full suit anyways. I definitely caught some nice rides. Got some nice lefts and rights. Finally I took a picture, first picture of the year. We got ice cream afterwards that melted quicker than we could eat it. Pretty fun surf.
This was the first day of our annual camping trip to Nickerson. Good thing we went to the beach today, cause it rained the next day, although it would've been free parking. We paid the $15 bucks for parking at 3:30 PM. I only surfed for a little over an hour, but it was fun. It was kinda messy, but the waves were peaky and about waist high. Sometime an accasional bigger set would come through. You had to be lined up right at the peak and catch it as it broke. I got some nice lefts with diving finishes. There was a lot of seaweed in the water, but the water was warm. I wore my fullsuit to stay warm anyways. Seems like there is ALWAYs surf on the cape. We checked out Whitecrest the next day, which looked like fun clean longboard waves.
I had the day off to go camping at Salisbury Beach with Mike and Lance, but we decided not to stay overnight. They were fishing at Sandy Point, but we decided to go to the beach before meeting up with them. (If i'm driving all the way to the ocean, I'm going surfing, not fishing.) We ate lunch at a really cool 50's diner called Fast Eddies, then got to the wall at around mid tide, but it seemed closer to high tide. It was really hot out and the water was really warm (in the low 70's). The waves were about knee-waist and clean with a SW wind. I got one great left on the face and had a nice dismount. Also some nice rights with good dismounts. There were tons of people and a lot of swimmers to avoid too. I had to bail out on one to not hit some swimmers. The tide eventually got too high and the waves flattened. Mel and Laura ran out of beach sand and were on the rocks. Used my 2 mil top again. Good waves and fun.
Went surfing after EPA oversight in N. Kingstown. Didn't get out until almost 5:00 PM. The beach was super crowded as usual. Waves were typical Town Beach waves, knee-waist, clean, but closeouts for the most part. I only caught about 3-4 waves in an hour, but had a couple nice rights where I was trying to beat the white water. Used my 2 mil top and got kinda cold.
This was my first surf of 2007. We've been so busy with stuff this year, we haven't had the time to get to the beach. We left for the beach after Mel's nap at 3:30 and decided in mid drive to go to GH rather than NH. Free parking after 5:00 which is nice and the waves were kinda messy (south wind) and about knee-waist. There were bout 10-15 other people out. I caught some ok rides but you really had to crouch and pump to get anywhere. I got out of the water when the sky started to look like it was going to thunderstorm.
This was the first time I surfed MA this year...kinda weird. It was a beautiful day all sunshine, 70s and light wind from the SW so all of us went to the beach for the afternoon for one last day of summer? There was actually a lot of people at Good Harbor, but parking is free this time of year which is nice. The tide was super high and there was a strong current pulling to the north so I had to keep paddling to the south. The water was nice and crystal clear, not to cold, and you could see to the bottom. Waves were waist high and real fun and easy to catch. Wind was about 10mph from the SW which created sort of a chop. I caught a bunch of rides during my hour long session but no real memorable ones to write about. One wave I had a nice late drop-in on that was fun. Could have used a long board today, but it was pretty fun. We went to the new Brickhouse Surf Shop in Gloucester and Woodmans afterwards for fried hell.
After looking at the log I noticed it has been exactly 3 years since I have surfed Newport. We came domw to spend the day in Newport and to surf for about an hour. Actually I only got 45 minutes in, but it was fun. This was continued swell from Helene, an it was waist to head high. The wind was from the southwest so it was kind of crumbly. It was pretty hard to get out through all the white water past the breakers. The water was reaaly warm though and some people trunked it. I caught about three shoulder high waves which were easy to get into. I got a couple of nice fast long rides and the last one was a very long right on the face. I got one ride where the waves was clsing in on either side and then enveloped me in white water at the end. It definitely was not for beginners. RI is awesome in the fall. Better than yesterday.
I had been watching the conditions and forecast all week and this seemed to be the most consistent week of surf this summer. The swell was from Gordon then Helene. So I finally got some time off of work and decided on dawn patrol Thurday. There was definitely some ground swell from Helene, but unfortunatly winds were a brisk 10-20 mph NW which made it almost impossible to catch waves. The air temp was only in the 50's at 8:00 AM also so it was chilly, but it was sunny. There was a wait in between sets and when the sets came they were almost always total closeouts that were too steep to get into. I talked with some other guy who was having the same problem. I wore my booties which kinda stinks. I didn't get any rides, but from the looks of the picture, I should have.
After yesterday I was actually content with not surfing anymore, but Lance was in town and Chris was coming down with his board from San Fran, so I guess it was going to be another surfing day. I can't really complain. Chris and I decided that Cowell's would be the best place to go because it is mellow. Lance and I rented NSP epoxy boards at Cowell's surf shop. I got an 8'6" and Lance got a 9'2". Based on how flat it looked on Monday, I was a bit concerned it might suck, but when we got out to the beach it was going off...one after another for a bout 10 in a row. I was actually concerned for Lance and was giving him pointers to make sure he wouldn't get caught inside. By the time we paddled out, it calmed way down. The lineup was packed as usual, but you could still score waves because it is mostly a beginners area. The timing of the sets was really stange. It would be flat for 5-10 minutes and then sets for a couple minutes, then an occasional wave. Some of the sets were chest high. I caught several real nice long rides. My best ride was on a chest high wave and I got the face of it the entire way. It was closing in on both sides of me, but I kept riding it past people all the way until it collapsed. The waves would build and build but if you were too far out you would miss them. Lance took a beating on his way in from a wave and his arms got sore. We were pretty tired from surfing for over 2 hours but the water was warm again. The others didn't get any good pictures, just flatness.
JR knew I wanted to go surfing, so he called his friends Sara and Rebecca (twins) who had 4 surf boards. JR said they were sponsored. We met them at the beach and they had twin longboards (9') for use to use. This break was great for long boarding with about waist high clean waves. The main break was very crowded and almost impossible to get a wave. There was also lots of kelp to avoid. After about a half hour of not getting any waves, I paddled over to were JR and the girls had found their own break and the four of us were sharing waves. These were really fun little waves. I caught maybe 5 or 6 for about an hour. The waves would build for a while and you'd have to get in them when they were almost cresting, but you could get a pretty long ride. Longboards are fun! It was really cool of the girls to loan us the boards and it was more than I could have hoped for.
We are on vacation in Santa Cruz for the week! I didn't actually go surfing this day but tried body boarding for the first time. J.R., myself, and his friend Shante went to their favorite spot, a small cove in Santa Cruz. I borrowed J.Rs body board. This spot seemed treacherous because the waves came in fast around this rock and were rather large. It was tough because you had to use your feet (fins) instead of your hands which is tricky. Everyone was piled in the exact same spot to catch the wave, but when one came you just had to go for it and disregard the other people. I finally caught one, but was unable to get onto the face and ended up taking a wild ride in the whitewater....I swallowed some water and then got tangled up in the leash while more waves came. My limited opinion of bodyboarding is that it is more dangerous, more difficult and not as fun as surfing. The water felt pretty warm though.
I got up really early on this Friday to go surfing before some field work in Methuen. The cam looked really small, but when I got there it was really clean, and knee high. There were actually a couple of waist high waves. It was like 80 degrees at 7:45 already, so it was the perfest morning to surf. There was only one other person out there, so I basically had the waves all to mayself. I actually caught a couple of nice long rides on the face of some knee-thigh high waves. The water was really clear too and you could see the bottom. It was just really nice to get out there early and have the rest of day to myself. I surfed for about an hour and 20 minutes until it got really flat. The water was pretty cold but not as cold as last time. I want to try to do this again!
Well, I missed surfing in June, but we camped at Wakeda Campground in Hampton Falls this weekend. The campground was filled with RVs, some permanent residents. We went to the beach on Sunday and I managed to go surfing for a grand total of about an hour and 15 minutes which is pathetic considering how decent the surf and weather was. The linup was relatively uncrowded and the waves were mostly thigh high but fun. I caught a couple that I got good distance on the face and worked around the break into the face. The wind was rather strong from the south/southwest, but it didn't really affect the quality of wave which was good. The water still feels like ice on my hands and feet, but you get used to it. It was fun, but way too short. I could have surfed for another 2 hours. We checked out the wall the next day (beautiful and sunny) and it was super clean and about knee high but looked fun. However, I did not surf due to family obligations.
Its been 4 months since I've been surfing and 8 months since I've been surfing in New England. The report said kne-thigh high, but it was definitely waist-head high. The water was still very cold so I wore booties an gloves. My suit is starting to get old and I can really feel the cold water rushin when I go under. It was kinda tough getting out, being out of shape and all. The waves were definitely bigger than I bargained for, but I did manage to get a couple nice lefts on some chest high waves before I got too cold. It was fairly clean with a southwest wind. There was one head high wave that I was about to drop in on, but chickened out. I probably would have bit it anyways. Only lasted about 45 min.
Its been a while since I've been surfing. We were down in Fl for a whole week and I was hoping to a get a couple sessions in but this turn out to be the only one. Air temps were in the 70's and water was about 70. Scott came up from Boca Raton and we came down from Stuart to meet half way. I used his 6' fish and he used one of his short boards. It was monday so the beach wasn't very crowded. The surf was about waist high and mushy and there was minimal wind, but a strong northerly current to fight. Waves were pretty hard to judge and you had to get into them late. I did surprisingly well considering I hadn't surfed in 4 months, and I was using a fish. I only caught 4 or 5 waves in the 2 hours we surfed, but it was fun. The fish was awesome and I am sold on one. It is very floatacious and manouverable!! It was great to wear only trunks and a 2 mil top! My whole body ached for 2 days after. Thats me in the photo.
We made plans to meet Lauren at Jeness this day as we had seen her the day before at Larry and Loretta's wedding. There was supposed to be good long range ground swell from Hurricane Phillipe. The report in the morning said waist-chest and clean...of course that was before we got there and the winds switched. The ocean looked so ugly and disappointing. It was super choppy with a stiff south wind and you could barely see sets through all the chop. I was able to get a few rides, some even on a face, but it was a fight against chop and wind. Occasionally there was a cleanup set that cleaned up all the chop (and people) for a minute and left a lot of foam. I only stayed in for about an hour. It was just too ugly to take any photos. Hope I can get 1 or 2 more sessions this year.
I had to update my surf log at the request of Scott V...there's actually people that read this. Larry and Loretta stayed over the night before and me and Lar went up in the morning and the girls, including Melissa, met us there later. Larrys friend Lauren (the long boarder)also met us there. There was a low off shore. The day started off cloudy, but turned into a hot summer day. Surf was about waist-chest high and kinda mushy and bumpy in the morning but real fun. We got a lot of good rides. Got a nice long 2+ hour session in the morning before the girls arrived. There were a lot of people to avoid, but the water was warm and there were some sizable sets. A caught a few nice chest high lefts where I was crouched low and pumping past some people paddling out. I felt pretty cool. We went in for session 2 (bout 45 min) in the afternoon and it cleanud up a bit. Caught more rights this time. I was super tired after surfing this day, but had a load of fun. Can't wait till hurricane season.
Took the day off from work for this one. Tropical storm Franklin was out there producing nice swell. Me, Laura, and Mel went and the tide was on its way out. Air temp was around 80 and the water was pretty warm too. Wind was light out of the west. The lineup was pretty full, but you could find an open spot if you tried. Waves were great (bout waist-shoulder and clean)when I got in and I caught a few real nice ones before they started to break. Got some nice rides on the face of the wave and zoomed past some people paddeling out. As the tide changed, it got harder to catch the waves cause they flattened out. I think I was just in the wrong spot and got caught in a rip current. I went back in and the waves were much easier to catch as they jacked up quicker, but the rides were shorter. My best surf session of the year so far...
This worked out good...we were going to a party in Beverly at 7:00, so Gloucester was close. There was a due south swell which works well at Good Harbor and actually gives the waves some more angle and less close-out. We got there a little past 5:00 PM which is when they allow surfing. It was about 75-80 degrees, dry with a 10-15 mph NW wind...perfect conditions for clean waves which were about waist high on average with some knee and some chest-shoulder high bombs. When I got out, it was sparce, but got pretty crowded in about a half hour. I had some good rides and the length of ride was above average for the usual GH close-out. I had one awesome ride where I got into the wave late to go right but stayed in the lip up high as the wind held it up. It was pretty cool. More rights than lefts. Water felt like the low sixties., not too bad. Wish I could have surfed for longer... felt like I was in better shape than last time. That's Melissa in the photo...and her hair showing the NW wind.
Well...Its been almost 6 months since I've surfed. But it was worth it because I have a new daughter!! The reports said about knee high with occ. waist so I hit it early. Got to the wall at 9:00 AM and it was a good solid waist high with some bigger sets. The tide was so high that I ended up at Jeness again. The air temp was at least 70 degrees but the water was absolutely frigid without gloves so I had to go back and get them after a half hour. All the summer beachers were out too. There were quite a few people mostly long boarders out, but managed to stay away from them. Waves were clean with no wind and quality was pretty good. I managed to catch a bunch of long rides, but my arms were definitley out of shape. I could have done much better if the water was a bit warmer and I had more arm strength. Surfed for 2 hours. I need to do this more often...
Halloween. The last 4 times I've gone surfing, its been at Jeness. It seems to be a consistent break regardless of the tides. This was the tail end of a week long of head high surf that we both missed. Scott and I arrived at the wall at almost the exact same time. The tide was WAY to high to surf, but it looked like it would have been good if the tide was lower. It was clean (WSW winds) ground swell in the knee-waist range. The air temp was nice and warm in the 60's, but the wind was 15-20 mph. I wore my gloves and Scott wished he had a pair. The tide was real high at Jeness, but the waves were breaking much better and there were a bunch of people out, but it was only about knee-thigh high. Still these were reael fun waves. They didn't have much power, but the wind held the wave up long, so you could get long rides. I was getting lots of really good rights and some lefts. You had to angle yourself into the wave as you were paddleing to stay on the crest and get a nice long ride. Some of the rides you either had to pump or crouch down real low because of wind resistence. We had a 2.5 hour session and then checked out the wall again but the tide was too high. Scott went back in at Jeness, but I called it a day cause I was cold. Would have been a great long board day. Fun little waves regardless! Didn't bring a camera.
Scotty came down the night before to watch the Sox playoff (disaster) game and stayed over. We checked out the wall which was pretty clean and about waist-chest high with some closeouts. Decided to go to Jeness and park along the rock wall. It was about the same quality but a tad smaller but with a lot let people. The air was only in the 50's and wind was out of the southwest at 10-15+ mph so it was chilly. I wore my hood and then went back for my gloves. Alright, lets talk about surf. I got some good rides rights and lefts, but the winds and cold were a little harsh and frustrating. Scott had a few long good rides. They were nice and peaky so you could catch a direction, but it was tough to get around the white water and back into the wave. My best ride was nice long right that kept me going for a while. I got a couple of pics of Scott on his last and best ride where he did some cool turns. That's Scott in the photo. Surfed for about 2+ hours. Fun, but cold.
Met Scotty V. for some surf on Sunday morning. The air temp has cooled down to the upper 50's but the water felt really warm. Surf was kind of a mix of ground and wind swell with pretty choppy conditions. The water was a soupy mix of seaweed and brownish-green cloudy water. Winds were out of the NE at 5-15, but were out of the NW before we got there at 9:30 AM, so that messed it up a bit. We went in on the southern end first wich pretty much blew. The waves were really mushy and hard to catch but we did manage to get a few rides. We were kind of bummed before we went back in on the northern side of the beach and wind calmed a bit. There were some waist high maybe bigger mushy sets coming through. I caught a bunch of pretty decent rides, some that actually had some length although a lot were closeouts. Scott didn't have as good of luck with wave placement and being in the right spot. Could have used a longer board today too. Surfed for about 2.5 hours. Fairly fun.
Its been a while since I've been surfing in Gloucester. I am still on half day Fridays and the report was waist-chest+ for today. I think this was accually the remnants of Frances. Scott and Alyssa were in town so I met them at Good Harbor. It was a half decent day with WNW winds, but the winds were about 15-20 mph when were were surfing at about 1:15-2:45 PM. The surf was definitely clean and about waist w/occasional chest, but they were total close-outs as you can see from the photo. Still it was pretty fun getting into the waves, but the rides were real short. We heard that it was better in the early AM w/ bigger surf and less winds.
Worst surf (if you could call it that) of the summer. This was supposed to be the tail end of Hurricane Frances swell. I knew it would be a little messy with a SE wind, but the reports said knee-waist and the WAM was showing a 3-6 long line. The waves that did come through wouldn't break until the beach. It was really lame. There were a ton of people around with boards, but not as many in the water. I stayed in for about 15 minutes and called it a day. This is almost not worthy of an entry and there was no point in taking a picture of a choppy lake.
This was our official yearly camping trip to the cape so it was a crap shoot as to waves. Scott, Alysa, Larry and Loretta were camping with us. The WAM looked pathetic as the wind chop arrows were going out to sea, but when we got to the beach it wasn't all that bad. There were a lot of other people with surf boards. It was clean and about knee-thigh high and I actually scored some half decent rides given the small conditions. Larry should have brought his board, then we could have all surfed at the same time. What a goon. I hope he reads this. Seems like there is always some surf on the cape because it is so far out to sea. The water was super cold again and I only had Scott's shorty to wear. Nothing all that great, but fun. Photo was taken with my film camera which has a better zoom.
I guess the wall is officially my home break. I coordinated with Scott to meet him at the Wall this Saturday morning, but conditions were questionable. We went to Pioneers and CRs and Scott traded one of his boards for a WRV fish. Winds or lack there of were good, but size was a bit small. There were a ton of people in the water and the summer surfing zone was between the red lines. Waves were pretty pathetically small to start out (for about the first 1.5 hours.) Then waves suddenly picked up on the incoming tide. There were actually some nice clean rides to be had in the waist high range and occasionally bigger. I caught a ton of rides, as many as I could without getting in the way of other people. We surfed for about 4 hours straight until our arms were spaghetti and the tide was so high that catching a wave became dangerous. A fun day!
This was the very start of ground swell from Hurricane Alex but it was pretty weak. (Reports in RI were chest and clean.) I met Scott at 2SI after work and we checked out the wall. It was about 80 degrees with no wind so the waves were clean, but the tide at the wall was too high so we went to Jeness. The waves reminded me of Cowells in Santa Cruz because the water was flat and super calm with no wind and then a knee or thigh high perfest wave would come. These were perfect small longboard waves. I got some long rights where I was crouching down low on the face of the small wave like longboarding. We stayed at Jeness for only about an hour and then went to the wall which was kind of disappointing. It was smaller, weaker, more crowded. You had to wait about 10 minutes for something that was big enough to ride. If the waves at Jeness were a foot bigger, these would have been ideal conditions. It was fun none the less. We surfed until 7:45 PM.
I went to the wall for the second day in a row because Laura was going to Hampton to meet friends. I dropped here off at the mobbed south beach and I went to the wall. It was pretty crowded with surfers, not because the surf was good, but because it was a nice summer day. The surf looked pretty lame, and when I paddled out it was even lamer. There were a ton of people crowded into the only breaking spot and the waves were only breaking on shore. There was an occassional chance of getting an outside wave, but they were really flat. I caught one on the outside after paddleing my arms off, then decided to catch the shore break with everyone else. The last half hour I was out, it actually started to pick up with the incoming tide and the NE wind calmed down to almost nothing. The waves started getting more definition, size and length. It was about knee high for the first hour and knee-waist high for the last half hour. Overall probably a little better than yesterday.
Me and Scott met at The Wall this rainy Saturday morning and it looked pathetic. It was clean when I first got there, but the waves weren't breaking until shore. In a matter of minutes the wind switched from NW to NE and made it choppy. It was so small and pathetic, but we went surfing anyways. There were about 10 other people out too. It was about knee high occ. thigh rides into shallow water. I got about 2 decent rides.
