Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles." - Washington Irving
54F and misty while we gaze upon the sea and try to focus on the future. Full moon brightness apparent and taking the sun's morning place in the lineup. Early indicators show promise upon the lower tide as it starts to push back and fill. Anytime after 10am has sufficient water levels and while the swell data is not off the charts it is registering. Primary blends of NW windswell and a long period S have hopes running high and a germinating buzz.
CHANNEL: Settled sandbars ready and in place though not formulated to work on negative tides. As the water fills back in during the remainder of the day one can clearly see both the potential and the problems. Congested junctions will be the norm with only daylight hours bringing adequate agua. Across the pond at Seadrift faring marginally better due to deeper contours. All points will eventually stir from slumber but not rumble and now we are content with thigh high shallow spinners.
PATCH: Finally a sighting of S energy though low tide forces regional aspects well out the back - naturally. Morning exposures of stone and sand are guides as to where not to be. Voyage out past the split rock where more depth can be found and employ your log to its fullest extent.
