between vfw’s and kelly’s for a couple of hours. summertime slop, but with some punch, and I saw a guy get a legit barrel. in and out on an inside bar, pretty thick lip even. I had a couple fun ones; sloppy kind of like back home only with tons more power… fully shortboard-able. no fish or longboard needed. for some odd reason I tend to surf better when it’s small and shitty. it’s like it doesn’t matter or something, and it’s what I’m more used to being from the east coast.

the fog has arrived. for real this time. kinda dismal. they warned us. it took ten months but it’s here now. not complaining though, we’ve had a real good run of sun, and the surf just keeps on coming.

lots of biking back and forth to work these days. it just doesn’t ever rain here this time of year.
seven and a half miles each way the route I take, usually 4 days a week.
sprint home for evening session, again after work. I like watching the sun go down over the pacific. nothing like it.
low hopes, but it was super fun, even more so than last friday.
I don’t know what it is, but I surf best in the smaller stuff. just feels like it doesn’t matter, so why not try it? lip smacks I actually land and even a couple little slotted cover ups. and I mean little.
couple of really fun waves. knees getting old. ha.

bombs.
dive bombs, that is. pelicans going nuts these days. practically need an umbrella.
bombing for fish, just a couple yards from my board.
late evening cruise. summer slop, but surprisingly fun. sun is out. waves are small, and it’s a close period jumble from the northwest and maybe some small south in the mix. but punch for their size.
so, they do have seasons here. summer=sloppy and (a little bit) warmer water.
