Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Accept who you are; and revel in it." - Mitch Albom

 

Still, clear and cool air while the ocean continues to boom.  Temp of 42F and light NE winds trying to smooth the rough edges.  Fiery sun erasing doubt of the greatness to come.  Still raw and compounded by abundant swell and growing tidal heights.  Not nearly as uncontrolled as yesterday but still beyond the amateur levels.  Cleaner corners and actual wave faces are being formatted as a measure of calm descends.  Awareness and judgement are still advised. 

 

CHANNEL:  Shifted sands begin to reinvigorate the Groin bar left and exciting action is in progress.  Unfettered swaths of ocean energy freely roam and encounter shoals before rising up and crashing down.  Size has mellowed some though the shoulder high drop is still an option.  Directly out front shows less mayhem and minor breakers.  Boards of all shapes and sizes can and will partake of the bounty which while great in size currently is short on quality standards. 

 

PATCH:  Overwhelming NW swell crashing the party both figuratively and literally.  Entering the Patch and surrounding zones from the depths and flooding through to find the shore.  Orderly portions are available and can be managed with your trusty log.  Directional aspects seem confused as expected under extreme circumstances.  Tides hold steady until nearly dark.
