Sunday sucked!

Side shore small craft advisory surfing in shallow 6ft waves. Pounded, and battered.
Today was pretty good, 25kt offshore, and I had some good rides at the inlet in OC. Two hours by myself, then another 1.5 hours with someone else.

i try not to post here about non -kneelo sessions but yesterday was too fun..

2-4' mushy hb... my friend rode my 4GF and i took out my home-rolled rasta mat....

I dont know if anyone else had as much fun out there....exept maybe the wahine speed bumps on the inside?

wouldve been a really frustrating session on the kneeboard i think..

are way fun in those closed out or mushy days. Screaming down the face with little or no control always thrills the masses.

Dan im sure the mat would be insane at small PP.

I used to ride the old blue and yellow canvas mats at Sewer Peak, Suicides, Lil' Windansea and 26th Ave. back in the 1960's. This was before leashes and before standups really surfed some of these breaks.

I also remember getting totally drilled by a 6 foot grinder at Moss Landing while on a mat. Blew out all the baffles and readjusted my neck.

My wife and I used to ride a mat tandem on massive, South swell closeouts at State Beach in Santa Monica. Sacred the hell out of the tourists. lol

Blowing through SC on the way to SB on Saturday... looks like the wind might be too.

Any you SC/MB folks up for an AM surf?

Might try SB/VC on Sunday AM (clan/Palm Sunday permitting...)
Same there for a dawn patrol...

I'll be in OC late Sunday to Wednesday, leaving early. Bummed to miss Saturday, but those are going to be three solid heats... Tues/Wed look like a blip upward... same there.

It's been non-stop Spring winds, with the odd 'looks glassy' but way chopped and disorganized around here. Hope to indulge a bit Southward amidst too much work...

Lemme know!

We were having 24-29 mph gusts this evening in Aptos. There is a wind advisory of 40-50 mph tomorrow (Friday).

I'm in a board mtg from 10 Am on so no surf for me in the AM.

That's OK, Gumby. I've been double and triple booked for months now so water time is close to nil. But things are looking up for a fun spring and summer. We'll try again next time you're up in the Monterey Bay.

OB was double overhead and like glass last night. Got one bomb and then sucked down the beach by the rip. First time in the water in a while and had to ride the boogie as my shoulder is still a mess.

Hope others got on it.

SF looked unreal. Too much west in swell but some people got some good ones. Some people never made it out as the white water was relentless. We watched two guys paddle out and go sideways at the first line of white water for half a mile before giving up.

Santa Cruz loves a West swell. I paddled out North of town and surfed with only four guys. I got one good wave then one windy, bumpy beast . The SE wind came up hard so I went in and drove to the Eastside in my wetsuit and paddled out to crowded(Spring Break), but really good surf.

The day turned out okay.

Bob - the beaches south of town were the best they've been since January.
But the rain is just starting to fall with the prospect of thunder and hail this afternoon.

Surfed Rincon yesterday - 2-3ft and fairly inconsistent

Sets around head high with some decent push, most were connecting through to the rivermouth and ending just above cove.

Got a couple of really fun ones but it was a decent wait between nice waves. Usual crowd, about 30guys off indicators.

Heres a couple shots
