Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

Hurly burly holiday culmination.  Significantly sized NW swell develops and invades.  Ocean activity drawing a crowd of all comers to try their luck and test their skills.  Naturally clearing skies gently illuminated in the East and a temp of 52F to take the edge off.  Winds remain slack and tide just now filled to the brim.  Battle tested boards of all shapes and sizes being offloaded and waxed with reckless abandon.  *The measured approach always seems to work best even when frothing to charge. 

 

CHANNEL:  Overloaded with tide, swell and population on this fine day of hope.  Inside ample dumpers seem most suited to those wishing to be whomped and punished.  Outside Channel bar is primed and poised but a bit overwhelmed handling all the duties.  Reaching maximum entropy with less clean corners than hoped for and chunks to the chest.  Outgoing flow may bring a tidier outlook and likely more sliders as well. 

 

PATCH:  Random dispersion of breakers attracting all manner of humanity.  A bit ragged on the higher tide but keeping hard edges at bay.  Swell filtering in and over with more water and the distribution is at least spatially consistent with Winter action.  Find a few and love your fellow surfer.
