    heal up quick man^^^^^

    came down to the cape today to see/help out the family plus play landlord. managed to get in a nice lil sesh with my uncle at marconi. bars are set up quite nicely right now. winds were offshore enough to keep conditions clean in the land of fickle. waves were small and weak in the knee/thigh+ range, but rocketable.

    man am i spoiled in nh compared to when i was living on the cape. probably get at least 3 times the water time in due to better conditions and breaks/waves in general. still nice to get in the water.

    gonna get up early and check on things to see if it's worth a paddle out. winds will be perfect, but will the south microswell still be showing?

        ^^^^Nice photos. I would have loved to have been there.
        Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a โ€œmandateโ€ to do his worst. Weโ€™ve learned something about America that we didnโ€™t know, or perhaps didnโ€™t believe, and itโ€™ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

            Quite sure, but then you do not get on the bro love that is the photog. I mean, where it the "enter the rog" caption. Gotta say, I was expecting a lot more from Jared based on that introduction.

            Some small sure on tap up around these parts. Mostly background souths, but it has been fun with the wind holding off the past few days. Last nights session was nothing special after choosing to try a reef that really was just getting swamped by the tide. Then a female elephant seal popped up to bark and say hello and check me out. Always makes me a bit tense. Then her lady friend showed up. A few minutes later I had about eight seals playing and swimming just yards away. I love the water around here.

                I don't have any good pictures because we all jumped in. Five in our boat and rolled up on two guys who arrived by jetski and anchored well off the break. We did the same. Was OH@20 seconds here. We didn't see anyone else all day. The outside was DOH and went unridden all day - it was squaring off for sure. Left hand cobble reef pt was running sweet.

                  Looks fun boltonoutlaw, hope the rest of the trip lines up well.

                  Another good weekend of surf for me in oc, although it was a bit disappointing until Sunday.

                  Friday evening I chased swell down to uppers/barbed/cottons, and while it was fun, it was a bit soft, and not as big as predicted. It was head high occasionally, with most sets being in the shoulder high range. I positioned myself north of the crowd, and lapped up every bump I could find. Most were too soft, and I ended up doing lots of cutbacks. Occasionally a fun one would sneak through. It was one of those sessions where you catch a million waves, and every once in a while a fun one would come through. The water was warm, probably 70, so I trunked it very comfortably.

                  Saturday afternoon was more of the same. I drove down again, hoping it would be a foot bigger. It wasn't. I went as the tide was bottoming out, and that slowed things down. It was still a fun session, similar to Friday, but not quite what I had hoped for. Still definitely worth it, but the forecast had pumped me up quite a bit.

                  Sunday I went in the Morning, from 10 am to 1230. It was a couple of feet bigger, although still soft, and super fun. The added size gave it just enough push, some of them really lined up. Despite the crowd, I was able to pick off wave after wave, and it ended up being one of those days where you don't have to wait more than 5, or at most 10, minutes for a wave. The smaller sets were shoulder high, and some of them were surprisingly fun, although lots were mushburgers. Another day of taking off on everything and hoping some would be good. The medium sized sets, head high, were bowly, and lined up. They were really fun, and for some reason there were only a few of us in the barbedwires zone. The bigger sets were a foot or two overhead, and awesome, just long lined-up lefts. It ended up being one of my better sessions of the summer. The 70+ degree water didn't hurt either, I was able to trunk it for several hours without being cold at all.

                  Hope everyone else go some of this too.
