monday
MONDAY...southern juice arrived overnight and peaked early this morning with 5ft sets at many south shore spots...at least that's from reports i've gottten as i surfed elsewhere that had sets pushing the 6ft catagory early in the day. nevertheless a good solid bump for the south shores. bouys and platforms are telling me that there will still be plenty of waves left around for tomorrow. expect surf in the 2-4ft range and on the decline all day. winds will be around although they may be light in the morning.
surfed 3 times in the last two days. once late yesturday afternoon and then twice today. as the south shore proper leaves me with goiders and stresslines from all the people and combine that with infrequent sets and on the weekend and finally throw in the fact that everybody has to ride a fucking couch in order to catch waves. i opted for another shore on a whim. thankfully i was rewarded with waves larger than expected, frequent poundings and dragings and even some big drops and long rides. most awsome of all was that there was a minimal crowd...thank god!!! i feel very fortunate for this as i generally get frustrasted with south shore charging and have chosen refuge as a bodysurfer at point panics. i'd call the waves 3-5ft with larger sets peeling left for over 100yrds. consistentcy was high and conditions smooth and glassy. even in those conditions though nothing short of a 7.0 will get you in those waves on a regular basis. lots of paddling and duckdiving, but at least i was on the go and not sitting in one place. at one point i even noticed that i was hot.
