windmilling
6/17
SATURDAY...surf should hover in the 2-3ft range with larger sets starting in the afternoon. as buoy 2 is forecasted to receive the new swell around 2-4am this morning and allowing for the 6hr travel time i'd bet that the afternoon may show an increase in swell heights. for those willing to gamble this may pay off as most weekend hardcores usually aren't the type to do multiple sessions and are generally surfed out by the mid-afternoon as they will surly follow suite and go have lunch at the appropriate time and then call it a surf day by 1pm. i'm guessing that by 2pm a new swell will sneak in people on the go in the afternoon may be pleasantly surfprised, but don't hold me to this as i have more than oce skunked myself and my friends and made the shitlist for the day.
am quickly becoming a bodysurfer for the summer. great excersise and so stoked when a pack of goons come thundering down the walkway waving fingers and pointing every which way and knowing that they are not invited to your party. drawback is that the place doesn't really fire that consistently, but you can't have everything or else where would you put it. anyway 3ft and low tide with maybe 6 heads...a few hard strokes and kicks and you're flying down the line thinking you're at backdoor. crowd policies amongst the barebacks is amazingly friendly and courteous which as the mastercard commercial says is "priceless". got pounded again and this time it cost me a fin...which i neva did find after combing the rocks for nearly 40min. going to push the envolope and try a dawn patrol figure there maybe a chance of solitude which with my current appatite is desperately needed. must have more waves...that's all i have to say. surfwise i'm thinking a bit bigger tomorrow with little expectations for wave counts as there will be many other wave assasins on the quest. i see flying boards, windmilling and reckless abandon bailouts on the menu at many breaks. i feel for everybody. good luck.
