From the photo it does not look bad, but I'm sure it is deceptive. Salt Creek is one of the most crowded spots around. It deals with wind better than HB/NB, and is pretty much of a swell magnet. I...

Fun evening session yesterday at 54th in Newport. I decided at work that I was going to go that evening, wind be damned. I knew it was shoulder high, so I figured I would roll the dice and see if...

The only LA county places I am familiar with are the northern Malibu spots. It will take some time to get there from where you are. You could take off on the 1, and just stop at the best place you...

PW7,

I love Middles when Lowers is a zoo. Such a fun wave. I don't know why more people don't hit it up when Lowers is a couple of feet overhead, but I'm glad they don't.

The cams/reports are...

Last weekend was good in north OC. Overhead in Newport in the morning, and the afternoon winds did not kick up for a while. It was absurdly crowded, but I surfed slightly later and missed the most...

Nice work PW7. Really makes me wish I didn't have to be in the office today.

What time did you go? I am thinking of pulling a Thurs evening session, although I think the wind will still be...

Good weekend in Orange County.

Got at nice 3 hour session in from 3-6 on Friday. I bit of windbump, but less than expected. As the tide rose and the swell filled in it went from shoulder high to...

Thanks for the info Hut.

I guess this is a win-win...surf uppers in good ssw or ski nice mammy windbuff. It will probably come down to just how much I want to wake up at 4 am.

That's cooler than anything I have skied this season. Or this lifetime I should say. Nice work.

Was anyone at Mammoth today? I'm trying to decide whether to head up tomorrow at 4 am or stay here and surf. How is the top, is the wind buffing it up nicely? I know they got some snow recently so...

How is the windbuff on the upper mountain? I ask because I'm deciding whether to head up tomorrow at 4 am or surf this weekend. Thanks in advance.

Keep fighting the good fight. Hopefully this will get resolved the right way.

As to some of those shots, wow! I didn't know it got that good there!

Looks like something on tap for this weekend. SSW broken up by some W and maybe some NW. This might keep me from Mammoth.

Can anyone up there report on how much snow they got from this last storm. There seems to be more coming, but not very much.

Here is hoping for a miracle April. I know it is a lot to ask, but a...

I have never had any registration issues. Like Jtran I have waited in lines to pick up a ticket, but I have never had a line all that bad.

I know what you mean. I remember the 4 seasons before the last two, so I bought another virtual pass. I only got a couple of days at Baldy this year, but next year should be better. The last two...

Wow.

The best day I have had this winter. Went down to Trestles, and rotated between Barbedwires and southern Cottons. Several feet overhead, clean, and lined up. The should high in-betweeners...

Would love to see Petit win this, but he is behind Sammy. Second round voting is up.

I had fun today, but it was pretty rocky, with lots of bushes showing. There were a couple of strips of snow on Emile's, and a couple of groomers, but other than that it was no go. If this week is...

Surfline is calling HB pier 2-4, and Newport 2-3. That's not much, but it is surfable. I'm going to Baldy today, but should be on it tomorrow.

About 30% of adults over 25 have bachelor's degrees.

Those are pretty high rates for a public school. In fact, they are not far off of Choate, where it would be about 100%.

If you don't mind me asking, what percentage of those students went to...

It might be devalued, but it is still necessary in many professions and corporations. It is more of a minimum requirement in the corporate world, something that allows doors to stay open as opposed...

There do exist fields where a BS/BA is actually necessary for the professional work to be done.

Nice job, I'm almost regretting going to Mammoth last weekend.

Hopefully the coverage on Baldy will last to this weekend. It would be nice to at least get some slush turns.

Inbounds Mammoth was fun SAT/SUN. Great windbuff all over on Saturday. Sunday was less windy, but still some good spots. I wish I could have been around for Friday...

Got three sessions in this weekend.

Friday afternoon was shoulder high and slightly bumpy Newport. It was not great, but there were a few surprisingly nice peaks that came in. I was wishing I...

It's looking good all weekend for Orange County. I'm leaving right now to get an early afternoon session in. The wind is not supposed to kick up too badly, so we will see.

I think this is a bit narrow. The length won't make up too much of the narrow factor when it comes to paddling, so I would go wider.

I will concur with what Piggity says about a Rusty Piranha. I surf one in a 6'4" as my everyday board. Sometimes I would prefer a 6'2", but it does not bother me too much. I'm a mediocre surfer,...

Hope you had fun despite the limited options. I will probably hit it this weekend, so I'm ready for some rocks.

Nice work! Glad to see you guys do the work of packing things down at Baldy. If I don't hit Mammoth next weekend I might have to hit Baldy instread. It looks like some of the good stuff is at...

Newport had perfect offshores yesterday....and it was 1-2.

Thanks for the report Potatoes. I was worried 11-15 might be optimistic.

I was hoping the wind might pack the snow, buff it up a bit. Given how little coverage there is a wind pack might do it...

Baldy is not opening today. They are claiming 11-15 inches.

Tomorrow they are talking about opening Goldrush, Robin's Trees, and Lower Emile's. It would be nice if that is the case. I won't be...

Wish I could.

Is Snow Valley better than Big Bear/Summit/Mt. High. I've never been there, and it would be nice to get something better than those places, even if not quite as steep as Baldy.
...

You aren't kidding. Even Socal has been colder than usual this winter, mid-50's as opposed to high 50's. Thank god O'Neills tend to be on the warmer side, or I would be suffering.

Surfed Newport...

I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I guess we will see.

Nice TR! Shows one what is out there if you have the skills to go get it.

If Baldy was only consistent year to year....

Hopefully it will get going late season like last year.

Wow.

It was worth the wait. The new footage is insane, and the old stuff shows us just how versatile Candide is. One of the best movies I have seen. Best performance this year for sure.

Wish I knew. It would be nice if things would drop and Baldy would finally get some real snow.

Starting to pick up a tiny bit down here. Still not much, but it looks like there is something. I don't know how much we will pick up.

I might be able to get out and freeze tomorrow morning.

This is true.

I went to UCSB, and WANTED to spend 5 years there. Had I really tried to get out in 4, it still would have been very tough because I changed majors twice. Had I stuck with one,...

Is this true?

I have never paid to park before, not when I was skiing.

Glad someone is getting some. I've been sick for the past 10+ days. I'm finally getting better, so I might be able to get out for New Year's. I missed epic Mammoth too, which is just killing me. ...

Some surf out there in Orange County, but I'm too sick to go. I might have to miss a Mammoth trip too. Hopefully some of the rest of you will get the goods, because it' dumping in the Sierra and...

Never used this, although I do like the idea of being able to relax and not drive. I would consider doing this if going by myself, although the price seems a bit steep. It is a bit more than it...

From Newport I have made it to Mammoth in about 520, usually 530. That is leaving at 4 am, one stop for gas, and doing about 72. I always spend the night, as a day trip would just be too much.

I...

That combination of spine AND big air is pretty nuts.

One of my favorite film lines for sure.
