Went for a surf in the dunes with Creediler, and it was fun! Onshores didn't factor in until 2:30 or so.

Today is bigger, and should be bonkers around mid-day. Today! If the family allows...

Tomorrow!

Saturday looks small.

Conditions are good throughout.

BTW, Didn't see even the slightest signs of oil. Just brilliant, blue, offshore-groomed peaks rolling across our otherwise empty bar.

The swell is building in up here right now. I went out early AM this morning
on the super high tide. Some backwashy, dredgy ones to be had, cold,
light offshore winds.

Every now and then a big sneaker set would come through, then kept
getting more and more frequent. I believe it's supposed to peak late
afternoon/evening and be on the downside by tomorrow.

pretty big lumpy raw swell.The reefs were overpowered.One small reef was breaking,mostly TOADS... Then get swept 1/2 mile down the reef.,crawling thru the pinnacles.Downtown was a cauldron of speedbumps/decoys.Counted 60+ in the channel.Tidal rip was going a solid 5-7kts Bodies scattered far and wide....Stayed home,maybe later tonite.
Cronkhite beach closed again,shark ate a seal close to the beach

cheers

The reefs were breaking today here in S.F.! Scored nice barrels at Fort Point! There is nothing better or more scenic than getting barreled under the Golden Gate Bridge! Plus surfing a left handed point break!

[K-man]

Had fun at Ocean Beach today with Bob Schiff and Jim Richardson, who was visiting from Huntington Beach. Clean and shifty, peaks and walls, fading swell but still overhead on the sets. Cold air temps! Better to sit on the bluff and first film the amazing Schiff-man finding in a gem in all that shifting liquid real estate. Local knowledge!

surfed OB at Pacheco-noriega yesterday around noon. Fun peaks. nice little bowls here and there. Saw one other kneelo with a red board get wickedly pitted. Wish I could have stayed longer but had to move a ton of gravel into the back yard.

[ScottMac]

I surfed early AM this morning up at Waddell Creek. Upcoming high
tide peaked at 7'. Really fun lefts and the occasional fast right in front
of the creek mouth. Cold (45 degrees when I left home), strong offshores.

There's a controlled burn taking place up the canyon so it was very
smokey and hazy. Kinda like it must have been down south during
the fires. Very small crowd out, shared a nice peak with two friends
who made the same call to head up there.

Here's a few shots after I got out.

11 ft. @ 17 sec. this morning. 10 1/2 ft. high tide. Biggest crowd ( 15 to 20 ) of the year at my favorite spot. Good day to be an Oregonian Unless your a Duck fan

Interesting how Oregon's season is parralleling Cal's. Cannot lose until QB gets hurt then cannot win.

You know you made UCLA bowl eligible, today and knocked Cal to a lesser bowl...

At least the surf is good.

AKC posse-Martin,Shaun, Rick, and Joe scored shallow rock shelf STUMP CHEESE, while ANTI-HERO and AKC KINGPIN R.W. filmed from the cliff above, screamin' lefts exiting just before the exposed rocks poppin' up as the tide dredged. I myself, along with 2 friend's surfed shoulder to head high Catbox last night undwer the full moon,screamin' right barrels in 2' of water...a good time was had by all!!!

[rick carne]

Yeah! Catbox ON A FULL MOON!! YOU SCORED!..Yep!.. We held that cove for 2.5hrs. that morning many watched from the path but when they saw only kneelos they knew..no waves for them!! Martin got soooo pitted! sooo pitted! it was like blam,bwaaascoot.. and I paid for cutting off Shawn
I dug a rail and the dude did a cut back ontop of me! Hahahaha! no damage! fun was had by all and some sweet rides!............ I told trowt about the super glue! he missed it.......where'd the swell go??

[ScottMac]

Looks like we have some big stuff on the way for next week if
everything stays on track. Looks like the biggest surf so far this
year...

From Wetsand:

The beginning of the week is looking to start off moderate Monday before
some powerful storms in the Gulf shoot some strong surf our way. Some
of this is out on the 84h+ models this morning, including one storm that
could max-out with 36 foot seas when only about 700 nautical miles from
the California coast. This, and a smaller system behind it, are both
traveling at low latitudes, which means the angle will be more along the
lines of 260-270, hitting most all breaks with some kind of surf. At this
point, Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th are looking like the peak
days of the swell when -- according to the 84h+ models today -- NCal
could see waves running 25 feet on the faces (possibly as big as 30 feet
at standout spots). Please bear in mind that much of this is predicated on
84h+ models, so I'll need a couple more days to firm this up. With that
said, here's how I'm calling it today:

Monday the 3rd should see swell building throughout the day. West facing
breaks can expect some chest to head high waves in the morning, but
reaching DOH by early afternoon...and climbing...

Tuesday the 4th westerly swell from 260-270 degrees should bring size
up to 20 feet on the faces at most all breaks, possibly as big as 30 feet
at standout west facing breaks...according to the 84h+ models today...

Wednesday the 5th looks equally big...according to this morning's model
run.

Thursday the 6th it looks like this swell will start backing down, but
models today point to surf still running 15 feet or so.
