Inspirational Quote of the Day:
“Behind the cloud the sun is still shining.” - Abraham Lincoln
Negative low tide, moderate S winds and a cracking SW swell make an early unholy trinity for those pursuing stoke. The mind seeks to clarify unlike the skies above which remain grey. Parking spots filled with reckless abandon as we attempt harvests from the ocean’s summer bounty. Neoprene is stretched over aching joints and corners. Conditions not the optimal that last night brought but there will remain reason for optimism and smiles with raised expectations likely being met. Time to allow for filling and calming must be accounted for before the real shredding begins. Don’t walk away in silence.
CHANNEL: With forlorn gazes we encounter nostalgia for moments recently passed as only the solitary marker stands firm. Where hours ago breakers flourished, now only an uncanny stillness remains. Do not set your morning sights here unless you wish to escape the crowds and carry a yogi’s patience and resolve.
PATCH: Those with paddle in hand are the first line of defense as the breakers show a lengthy distance from the craggy shoreline. A determined and dirty dozen have dispersed to field any and all rollers that form a shape of note. As is always the case, do not neglect the tidal timing or sliding rhyming, as this will unlock all doors today. Low tide doing no favors but after the mid-day meal we attain levels suitable for action.
