Anyone else get some today...?

[Piggity]

^ I agree. Few swells here and there but pretty much flat in-between.

[BirdRock]

It can only get better boys!

I missed this last swell. Went to AZ for the weekend. Left it was flat - returned it was back to flat. Oh well.

[Ottime]

not that impressive of a late oct/ early nov up here. lets hope for something better.

[sqikunst]

^^ That is pealing so clean!!

No one today? I know it's Thanksgiving but there's supposed to be a swell. I'm landlocked in Palm Springs. Hoping someone got some today....

got me some in cow hampshire this am. head high drops at the rocks with just a few friends out. gorgeous morning. 28 degree air with 50 degree water and bluebird with 6mph offshores.

we were all stoked to be out while our women were baking pies and shit. drove home in my suit and was greeted by my lady with a fully prepared breakfast and hot coffee. she surfs enough to "get it". all i could ever hope for.

should have some REALLY good surf by early mid week that should last a week or more.

happy turkey day, y'all.

Chest high and mediocre in Newport today, but still surfable. Looks like some stuff in the forecast, if I don't hit Mammoth. Should be head high this weekend.

After several weekends of 12 hours study days, for an actuary exam, last weekend was pretty flat. Why is is always that way?

This weekend should make up for last weekend, hopefully.

I did a little recon at 0900, but there was way too much wind up here. Drove south around noon, looking for one of three places to hold on south wind. By then, wind had swung around to northwest, just enough to make the biggest kook spot on the peninsula rideable. A few head high waves to duck under, then back up to the apartment by 5, turkey out by 7. No family bullshit this year. Could not have asked for a better tday. Looks like some juice for Saturday, and winds becoming favorable Sunday.

Head high and glassy yesterday. Super high tide in morning so surfed from 11am until 1pm, oily glass for most of the session. Good vibe in the lineup too

I thought Lindamar took a south wind.

Wed morning looked good on the charts. But I was packing the car. Report from Moss was quite good. Been decent down there. Monday evening was fun, if a bit jumbled. Overhead beach break is always *fun*. I'm home some time Sunday. If those easterlies look to hold up all day, I might propose an early departure.

[BS720]

Yeah, that was one of the three I checked. But, by then, wind was coming from the NW, so it was blown out.

[icelanticskier]

another gorgeous day of waves with light offshores. smaller than yesterday, but better lined up. surfed the rocks alone on the shorty, then hit a high tide beach break on my way to work. perfect weather. what will tomorrow bring?

[Piggity]

Head high and glassy most of the day. Think I surfed with 3-4 guys throughout my 2 hour sesh, can't complain.

Learned a few things past few days. My consistency is lacking and my knee injury is definitely crimpin my stylie. The transfer from belly to feet is tricky. Few poor mental decisions on my part too. Trying to floating it off the top on the inside section and coming unglued when landing, that was a poor decision. The sudden foot slippage upon landing was when I rethought that one, more wax or better comb job? no harm though

[HotTate]

Fun thanksgiving day in Cardiff! The swell is peaking and a new one is one the way!



edit: that's a picture of me surfing, btw.

[icelanticskier]

the wall did not disappoint this a.m. perfectly formed thigh/waist with, per usual, light offshores.

maybe 4-6 guys out for the whole 2 mile stretch. the leashless rocket is a wonder board.

these beautiful, free from crowds saturdays are spoiling me.

this coming latish week could be really fun, but will be checking it in the a.m. just in case. lots of just in case surfing going on here in nh.

nice pic tate.

[BirdRock]

Glad to be back. Surfed late yesterday and again this morning. Missed most of the swell but looks like this week should be fun. Bringing board to work tomorrow and hitting the reefs for late lunch.

$100 westuit on Steap and Cheap right now for those in need of a cheap suit. I don't know much about Hyperflex and front zips aren't for everyone but the price is right, so thought I should post it.

"Hyperflex Wetsuits Amp Aerodome 3/2mm Front-Zip Full Suit " http://www.steepandcheap.com

Lots of odd sizes and different colors to choose from, surprised to see they have any LS available for us short fat guys.

[Ottime]

I've seen that one before and debate buying it. Never handled a Hyperflex, but am cautious of internet only brands. Decent price if a decent suit.

This week has some promise. Not of epicness, but at least regular swell. Last night was a few feet overhead on the outside of a mile. Not too many out, and spread out at that. Was a fun session. As was Sunday a my favorite ledge. There were 9 out. They all came in as I suited up. 7 were done, and one had gotten spooked, but his buddy wanted to paddle back out. Lucky me. Head high, clean and thumpy. And plenty of sea life chillin' letting me know the landlord had not been around recently.

About to head out the door when the wife shows up.

From earlier in the month:

Dig #2. I'm not a huge fan of orange wetsuits but it actually makes this pic better since he's in the shade.

If any bigger guys looking for a wetsuit, $87 for an xcel. Only XLs left but 72% off is ridiculous. My old xcel was a decent suit

My Thanksgiving looked like this:

[Ottime]

Happy Thanks Giving. That looks like a spot up here.

[Piggity]

Looks like it was empty up and down the coast on Thanksgiving. Sorry for the quality of photo, cell phone pic from about 225 yards away. Sets were about 3-4ft bigger and lining up nicely

[PowerWhore7]

Trestles on Monday, 3-5ft, inconsistent but glassy, clean and uncrowded.




Somewhere else in SC yesterday, WELL overhead, no one out and very consistent.

Central Coast, but south of you.

Had a Tuesday night surf session with my long time buddy that moved to switzerland. Haven't seen him in over a year and we paddled out to this. I was kinda bummed due to it looking closed out but kept a positive attitude while we were suiting up on the cliff. We both managed to pick off many many corners and catch a jaw dropping sunset, one of those 'much better than it looks' kinda sessions. Good friends help create that vibe
