Willy,

Same here in SF. I hit it at 5:30 - 7:30 AM. With the low tide being a minus no one wanted to put up with the current. Left me solo on a peak for a couple early morning hours. Granted there were 4 people who were out in total. Bob and I are on it tomorrow... smaller but should be fun... it is June you know

Usually I have my running shoes on this time of year and the board is no where near the beach!

Lil' WindanSea had decent waves but incoming tide gave it 'more bounce to the ounce'. After picking up a set wave for my first ride of the day, wave #2
doubled up and bounced as I popped to my knees so I took an 6'-8' air drop, hit and scrunched my left side, neck to hip. Fortunately, I was able to turn out the top of the wave. I was worried about waking up as one of the walking wounded this AM but things look OK.

So, its back to The Point this AM. Wife gone for weekend, son away backpacking and I'm out of school. Looks like 4 days of beach time for me!

DP at the South end of North end with Don.

Glassy and warm, even the water was up a degree or two.

There were pulses coming through that were definitely fun.

The low tide drain had the rips running, as well as some shallow sandbars.

Not many sections of the beach looked that great...

I'm liking this little streak!

It was another good day of surf here in San Diego, a little smaller than yersterday, but ther were some good waves to be had. Since I worked the graveyard shift at work last night, the time I got in the water, was after the dawn patrol leaving and before the partiers got up! Surfed by myself for 2 hours

Five days straight for me WG. Howdy to ya!!! The lines have been showing for WEEKS but it takes the right situation for a south swell on the WS. Long solo (solo!!!) waits for the right one but each session has payed out big----speed runs and deeeeeeep pits for the patience. Still got all my fins, plenty rock dancing

surfed sayulita to 8' but it was sooo weak... fished for a few days grouper, trigger, sailfish and needlefish...

then went on an adventure! took a hour long bus ride that resembled mr toads wild ride....hiked 10-15 minutes through the rain forest(i mean iguanas, tarantulas, parrots and swarms of bugs everywhere) and found a 8-10' right reef point with a 6' left point within paddling distance.....

made the same trek the next 2 days... amazing place...

then raced the swell back to cali to score dredging pits at rjs yesterday and monster mush hb later in the afternoon...

Bloody Hell I am whining, but there hasn't been any waves for me to surf since my surf with Stapo Jr. back in May.

Beautiful waves this AM in Southern NC. Waist to chest peelers, with a few bigger sets, long clean walls to slice up. Long period SE groundswell, nice surprise for this time of year down here. Water and air in low 80's, great to just trunk it. Wind is getting on it, hoping for more over the weekend.

Fun fun fun here in Florida too. About chest high, speedy, glassy mid to high tide shorebreak. I've been longboarding for about a month, so getting some fast waves on a Flashpoint was a real treat!

I second that, Eric! Had probably my best kneeboard session so far in the glassy peelers yesterday.

Surfed Rosarito with Gove and BMC standup crew Carlos, JR and James - HH+ and good form - we had a great session, just the 5 of us.

Got a couple barrels and saw Gove get a ton of them - he was ripping!

My back is 90% and it felt great to get wet - I'm back!
