Surf Report 2008

Just got back from the Sierras... snowpack is still light.
They're hyping it up big time up there... calling for up to 10' of new snow with the storms.
I haven't done all the math, but check the temps. This one may not be cold enough to be a good snow-maker, and most I talked to up there are skeptical on the quantity.
That said, everyone is predicting a mess for travel, as well as electricity problems, etc.
If you aren't on the road today, forget about it!
On the surf front, OBSF is small and clean. Looks like things are going to go 'South' early tomorrow, so it may be last call this PM...

Scott I have been in the water in OC, MD when someone threw the switch, took about 15 minutes for me to realize the quarter fed wave machine was broken, and the ocean went from 5ft face to nadaScottMac wrote:Where did the swell go? Woke up to chest/shoulder high conditions
this morning. Heavy offshores and very, very cold. The difference between
today and yesterday was like somebody throwing a switch. It just
stopped.

Went to cronkhite and sat around waiting for the tide.Friends left and went to OB,never came back so they probably got waves.About 11 and the place came alive.Swell jumped a bit.Appeared to be a bit more west in it.And for about two hrs there were ''some''good ones with plenty of long walled speedies,with the usual crunch in the shore break.To HH and very punchy.This place can get weird.. :lol:Got home,and noticed the wind has shifted to the south....Get ready,we're gonna get hammered... Small crowd,got my three +hrs.....
cheers

Surfed HB Cliffs last evening after work while the swell was rising, making me optimistic for this a.m. But checked Salt Creek, Trestles, Churchs -- all blown out or walled up. Ratz.
Leave for Park City Sunday, so hoping to redeem the absence of surf here with some Utah powder. . .
