Daily Surf Report - 5/12/2017

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master." - Ernest Hemingway
 

The sun shines brightly and with full intention to remain present.  Another tranquil morning where being early to hit the surf gives no benefit.  Minus tides deplete the rides as missing water is a key component on most days.  Grab your mug and climb above to survey the coast and gain insight and wisdom.  As with all great comebacks there is a happy ending and the tide return may just be yours today.  No winds and 49F feels like a winning combination.


CHANNEL:  Micro grinders all along the inside Groin sandbar is a mind-surfers dream as the wave is hollow and holding form.  Unfortunately the height remains locked in at ankle high and water depth not much more.  A mid period NW windswell is in the offering under better suited tides.  Sitting in the Channel will allow for the occasional spirited breaker to find you along with shallow drawing boats that may come and go.  Try Wait. 


PATCH:  Less tide and even more slag exposed as we hit dead low.  Bathed in sunshine it finds paddlers on the prowl with flat-water cruising their ultimate reward.  An afternoon re-check under better water levels will be in order if you have all the free time in the world.  A very small S swell remnant is all you have to look forwards to.
