I'm way up in the farthest reaches of Nor Cal on a fire assignment. Fire activity was minimal today so I got a chance to get away for a few and took a quick run out to the coast to check the waves out. Out of respect for the locals I'll leave the name of the beach out but I'm sure you could figure it out by the rocks in the background.


It was sunny and glassy with some fun 2-3 ft high tide lefts rolling through.


This is right out in front of the town, super easy access.


I checked it out for 30 minutes or so and saw one guy out. Compare that to SoCal.

Still in Northern Cal on assignment at the Smith River Complex. Got another chance to head out to the coast and for a quick surf check today.


Waves were a little smaller but super clean and the winds were straight off shore all day. Smoke from the fire is visible in the background.


Looked really fun, but also really cold.


There was a hollow right that was breaking along side this jetty.


Saw tons of empty, fun peaks with nobody on them.


Miles of fun empty beach break with a grand total of two guys out.

^^^Sweet!! That's my go-to spot, looks like you scored some fun conditions! I drove over right when they reopened the road and there were only 2 others surfing Labor Day weekend with chest high offshore waves...I love that zone; the Redwoods and drive along the Smith to uncrowded waves with a handful of reefs within a couple miles. It's fickle, but if your patient, it has it's moments, and mid 50's water is pretty nice!

Not much surf for me this year, got down for good swell but horrible winds, this is a protected spot. Had a few but spent more time paddling our asses of not to end up in the bay. Hour surf felt like 2+ worth.


Next day same spot, much cleaner and current lower made for a good 2 hrs. Way they shaped up made for a fun faded takeoff to the right, before they bounced off rocks to get a good left remainder of the wave.

Hopping in here bc it’s been pretty consistent and fun the past month or so and forecast looks like more on the way! Somewhere between Boston and Portland.




On a related note - anyone in this area looking for a board? I have a 6’10 Eric Arakawa “fun board” that I got from another mag a few years ago that I need to move and would love to get it into the hands of another maggot. 39.9 liters - it’s a great board and served me well but I downsized to a 6’0 CI happy everyday and I’m not looking back.

Nice shots guys!

August and early September were good here.....I was out of the water, so I figured that might happen. I tried not to look at the cams, but it's tough.

I got cleared by the Dr. to start surfing again. I got in a couple of mid-week sessions in HB, then surfed the HB pier both Saturday and Sunday. Nothing epic, but nice to be back in the water.

I will say this surgery worked like a charm. My vision is 20/20, and I've been in contacts/glasses full-time since I was 15. I still need reading glasses, but I knew that would be the case going in. I'm not 100% yet, if I get sunscreen in my eyes it stings more than usual right now, particularly in bright sun, so I do have to be a bit careful, but medically I'm out of the woods.

It doesn't look like there is much swell of any significance that will hit us any time soon. That's okay, it's nice just to be back in the water. The Bento Box is working like a charm in the softer conditions. I highly recommend one to anyone interested in something with the volume of a fun shape compacted down into something squirty, and easier to turn.
