Just wrapping up 2 days of decent surf. Tomorrow could be fun as well. It's been 6.5-7' at 10-12 seconds. The wild thing is that the SF buoy read 64 degrees at one point today, and sustained 63.x for awhile. Don was out yesterday in a short-sleeve full w/hood. Fashionable? Questionable. Functional? I was sweating in my normal attire... yup. Functional.

Everyone should turn their eyes South. There is a killer hurricane coming off of Puerto Vallarta and is expected to round Cabo and churn straight up Baja's coastline and slam Ensenada.
Get ready for some south swell action. I may drive to SoCal and surf my way back up!

I agree with K-man OB was good on Tuesday afternoon on the outgoing tide 10 sec wind swell. Snuck out of work at noon because I was jonesing bad. Surprise surprise Kelleys was slightly overhead with only five to 8 guys out. (needless to say I didn't make it back into the office) Very peaky with fun rights and spunky little lefts. The current was strong but a big rip was going strong right under the cliff house. You could catch two or three rights, get out of the water walk up to end the beach jump in and get sucked right back into the top of the line up. Must have done seven or eight laps with no paddling against the current. Gotta love that.
The Wise noon surf update was pretty ho hum I almost didn't go. I guess people were weren't tipped off. Around 4 the crowd increased. When I got out of the water just out of curosity I called. The 3 pm update was much more positive and hence the sudden crowd. It was great to be in the right place at the right time for once.

hey guys
just back from Fiji and had a ball
Only surfed two days at Wilkes and was totally blown away on my first excursion out
I had 12ft + faces but super powerful so if caught inside....was an olympic effort to paddle out again...not to mention the hold down
gave it a days rest then out to find more sedate 5ft faces and can I say with Bruces 5'10" five fin blue board)featured hear earlier this year performed excellently although with a bigger center fin...
(gotta get myself a bigger (gun) board for those huge days (thinking 6'9" plus)...6' just isnt big enough when its pumping
Meanwhile here in Sydney its nice 3-4ft faces today but cold(17c) compared to Fiji's 22c

Hi, Tony - Glad you had a nice vacation. Are you ready for Santa Cruz? We're reserving some waves just for you!

I joined the evil side and helped put up a web cam of a popular spot in Humboldt county. When the price of gas went above $2/ gallon the cost of doing the old dawn patrol became a deciding factor in the placement of a surf cam. I surfed there this morning.

Howdy folks,
4 to 6' combination swell this morning, with the occasional double-up bomb
when the two directions merged. A little warbly with last night`s wind but
evened out about mid-morning. Mild sant ana should groom the building
SW swell into spidah`s favorite hiding places...
good surfing to ya...
