Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts." - Henry David Thoreau

This nutrient-rich upwelled water stimulates the growth and reproduction of primary producers such as phytoplankton.

Currently waist high consistency and an advancing cluster paddling over.
PATCH: Less height but still a long period of interval on the last of the SW swell. If you can bear the cold toes you should know that the waves come in bunches after a fair period of waiting and contemplation. Sweet and sassy on the inside speed run and water levels well above the minimum requirements.
