Great week of surf
Just returned from a week long camp\surf along the central California coast. Good solid surf with excellent conditions 9 days in a row. Even scored a few of the reef breaks between Cambria and Cayucos. Stoked
Looks like it's still breaking good around here in Santa Cruz too...
Welcome to fall

Surf Report 2012
Sometimes dreams do come true, 49th reunion @ Rockview w/ friends from 1st grade coincided w/ decent SW'er. Walked 8 mi r/t on 9-29 to find a r-hand pt break zippering down the line at waist to 2' OH, super mellow non-crowd, sheet shimmering glass to slightly side-offshore, most perfect waves I've ridden in years, everyone had big grins, no grumps seen/heard all day, nice to have tailwind on walk back. Next day 9-30 not 'nuff time to do the walk again, 7 boats this day and a bigger more consistent swell - went instead to a ledgy spot where the "grump" factor came into play. Oh well, magic day memories from Saturday will last forever.

What is perfect? What is epic? Is epic just a notch down from perfect? Ok, let's take it down another notch to almost epic today. Had to find a corner on the waves, but no current, water temp. around 71-73f, sunny, no wind. Went out at 1pm and Wanderer showed up around 3pm. It was a good day.

Well....It wasn't epic or perfect,just scarey... Biggest nw/s combo this yr.on the north reefs.Breaking way out in the kelp beds,and dodgeing the thick mats was a chore.Stuck inside on a 6/8 wave set with a wicked side current....1/2 mile down the reef.Didn't get many,no body did.... Little spot inside duxbury reef was going good.4/6 Oh sets...Now this was ''epic''!Rarely breaks.A real treat.Water temp was 59!A few babes were out trunking..
For hrs...real women up here.

Hurricane Rafael directly offshore- biggest and best I've seen southern NC in years. 6' at 14 sec, light offshores, groomed sandbars, air 80 water 75F. Didn't see another surfer- surfed by myself all day. The Blast was flying. What a day.
