Daily Surf Report - 9/2/2017

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Luck is hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't." - Lucille Ball

Fox trots and seals swim in an early calm soon to be shattered.  A still coolness to be relished in the moment with temps standing at 68F and no winds.  A last hurrah of summer starts now with cars streaming in and creative parking in the works.  NW swell eases back yet still seeks an existence on the higher tides.  Steeper S has wilted in the heat and provides less nourishment but more serenity in the flaccid waters.  Ocean is warm and wetsuits seem optional.  Daytime tides are high and higher so look twice before you leap and act with some form of determination. 

CHANNEL: Lazy lefts in the early light are at once empty and then congested.  Dawn patrollers making a slow start but now here en masse +.  Knee high petite ramps that are best tackled on longboards have some growth capacity with the pushing tides.  Expect crowds and then some but realize the ocean is free and welcoming to all.  

PATCH:  Brad, Larry and all Logjammers will post up for the day and find the furtive rights that eventually will appear.  Less swell and offset angles make the Patch more of a destination for socialization than recreation today.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"A forest of these trees is a spectacle too much for one man to see." - David Douglas

A blast of sunshine hits the beach at just about full force. A little moisture in the air is all that separates us from the heat of the day to come. It is currently 66F, but it won't stop there. This place should be no escape from today's extreme weather, as temperatures blaze around the state today. As for the water, dunk your head as a cool refreshment, for it will be your only hope. Beach access is limited due to tidal conditions so plan ahead and prepare to get wet. Surf is working and having some fun, so you should too.

CHANNEL: Lefty loosey breaking fun and well. Knee high and working off of the sand bar. Micro mini rights also available at a smaller scale. Something for everyone but capacity filling up quickly. Do or don't, yes or no, choose one, and choose now.

PATCH:  People sit. People wait. They are probably asking the same question as me. Why?

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature.  It will never fail you." - Frank Lloyd Wright

Steady vibes and a ready tribe as the coconut wireless spreads the good gospel.  Under a layer of morning fog one can see and feel the sun's heat start the rapid dissolving process.  Favorable NW windswell sparking interest + excitement while initial lower tide levels keep the good curls coming.  55F and warming with an inland heat burst expected.  Non-windy conditions have it glassed off and gassed out.  They early bird / pre-work crew has already scored it. 

CHANNEL: No such thing as a low tide today during daylight hours so the coming and going will be at your own risk and peril.  The enticement is righteous and plentiful with a growing number of sliders participating.  Smooth faces and off to the races with deep bar, mid bar and inner bar lefts and rights that bend and twist to your desires.  Find a favored sled and give it a ride.

PATCH:  Nothing.  Though at times one may sense an offshoot from the steep S, it rarely materializes and has kept this area temporarily desolate.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Those that know, do.  Those that understand, teach." - Aristotle

Energy renewal program in effect and new found life is bestowed.  All necessary elements come together to be reformulated into oceanic flow.  Forces from the NW winds and severely steep angled S seem to have coalesced and contrived to deliver surf.  Still and overcast with not a trace of wind.  Temp of 56F and likely later sun.  Tides again run mid high and hold fast.  Do what you love if it makes you happy. 

CHANNEL: Breaching breakers on the outside Channel bar tumble regularly with a smoothness not seen in recent days.  A small contingent of early morning participants rolled the dice and came up 7-11.  Waist high or better washers with right or left ride potential are good for promoting smiles and happy high fives.  If your schedule allows, it is worth a dip. 

PATCH: The steep S swell has enough offshoots to penetrate and the higher tide allows a more suitable entry.  Still remaining on the smaller side but finally encumbered with some log rollers worth a paddle.  Welcoming to all and luxurious at times.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success." - Napoleon Hill

Calm and overcast with lingering scent of lilac in the air.  Undeniable tide on the rise and staying moderately high throughout the day. No real swings means what you see is what you're likely going to get.  Our customary NW windswell remains along with a very steep but emerging S swell which just may miss and pass on by without visiting.  Temp is 57F and winds are lightly SW causing a bit of texture but no harm.  Long stares off into the distance prompt reflexive actions and some boards are being carried to the water's edge and advancing. 

CHANNEL: Tide to the wall and then some but lack of significant swell keeps the crossing uneventful.  A quick dip and sprint paddle lands you back on the sand for further surveying.  The farther reaches into the Seadrift compound seem to have the most energetic responses so far.  Otherwise you will need to suffice with knee high bumps going both left and right. 

PATCH: Still prostrate and unworthy.  Periodic punctures of potential are cause for consideration but very few and far between.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." - Albert Einstein

The air is still and the temperature is slowly rising. Although all places surrounding are experiencing sunshine, we still must wait our turn for the fog to burn off. It is 61F and rising, so our hopes are high for a sunny day, but what can I say, we still live in the bay. Say hello to those you see, and only wish good upon them. Give thanks for another day, and spend it doing what you love.

CHANNEL: Outgoing tide that stays positive is having good results. Knee high jammers jam packed with water lovers and land lubbers. Seek and conquer waves of your choice. Go left for maximum ability and agility.

PATCH: No gifts to be given here. Nothing stands out, no one stands up.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"I am a leaf on the wind.  Watch how I soar." - Joss Whedon

Silent, serene and decidedly not mean.  A slowing down of terrestrial and aquatic movements keep all but the devoted and deranged on land.  Those with a keen eye and optimistic outlook may well spot an angle of intersection with a wave corner vision.   Look hard or not at all but know that swells are dwindling and therefore pickings are slim.  Overcast but not fogged in.  Early morning sunshine already on the rise.  No winds - thankfully, and early temp back up to 56F.  Tidal movements favorable for any swell that happens to stop by. 

CHANNEL:  High tide now running to low but not so low you cannot go.  Middling water levels and morose movements at sea give this area less to work with and more to anticipate.  Still a solid sandbar soaking up stray advancements and turning them into knee + wavelets.  No wind keeps the surface smooth and morning access is easy. 

PATCH: Flat.  The unbroken calm is not stopping a lone surfer from enjoying a nice long paddle / sit / wait.  If this is the Sunday engagement you were looking for - your day is made.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Success is getting what you want.  Happiness is wanting what you get." - Dale Carnegie

Deep hidden secrets to be unlocked as a heavy layer descends and fills all voids.  A slight dip in temp to 53F signals the start of a seasonal change though sun will soon burn it away.  All quiet on the western edge of civilization as gazes are met and reflected back in the morning mists.  The lightest of air flows are a cause for clean conditions and we are backed by mainly NW windswell of moderate levels.  Traces from the SW are small and irregular but enough to stir interest upon rising tides. 

CHANNEL:  The low tide has risen and allows for breakers to breach if they so desire.  Low intensity windswell is maligned for its offerings but plays a role in how the day unfolds.  Smooth and placid waters that invite all to enter. 

PATCH: Unseen and therefore unknown as heavy fog coats the coast.  The slightest of energies from the SW may distribute fundamental qualities enough to get a big log moving.  Coconut wireless reports will be our mode of communication throughout today.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Smash the control images. Smash the control machine." - William S. Burroughs

A quiet morning is under way here as the sun is kept out and the heavy fog sits overhead. The weather is moist and 56F. No heat radiating in as we had hoped but later hours may reveal sunshine. As for the water, no swell is seen as of now and low has yet to hit. Afternoon high seems doable with semi even lows on either side. Keep an eye out and keeps your crystals near.

CHANNEL:  Low has nothing available for us this morning. Nobody bothers and nobody wanders. Empty and choppy as the sandbar is the only thing existing here.

PATCH: Lake Bolinas is in effect here. No more than a ripple exists and is of course, no rides are available. Good for sitting and watching. Bad for surfing.  May peace be with you.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it." - Henry David Thoreau

A seemingly endless parade of low tide mornings elicits a scarcity of waves and by association people as well.  Kept quiet by lack of activity a peaceful calm surrounds and protects.  A rising NW windswell gives hope for the later hours when tides fill to suitable levels.  Hints of a new SW groundswell may be just rumor or innuendo.  Coastal clouds already giving way to sunshine and light NE winds with temps of 57F.  It's a wide open playing field and all of it can be yours. 

CHANNEL:  Knee slappers combo with shore clappers under diminished tides.  Fishermen share the lineup with SUPs and sleds as a delicate dance unfolds.  Even under the depleted domain one can see the sandbars aligned and primed for the day beloved swell returns.  Stay ready friends.

PATCH: A motionless quietude filled with inactivity and peace.  An unending lull unbroken by any undulations.  A calm you can appreciate but wish would dissolve.  A void unfulfilled.  Transformational under better circumstances.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"You don't have to do something extraordinary to be happy." - Unknown.

Cloudy skies keep most at bay but serenity is upon us in forms of coastal cover, stillness, and the break of kinetic energy through our favorite medium. Few bodies dwindle here and there this morning as most prophesied the diminished swells and overhangs in this early hours. With later times, chances to ride will rise but knee height is where we will stay. Cozy, calm, and comfortable. Today is a day. Go grab it.

CHANNEL:  Two standers gain balance and experience in the basics, while beach breaks stay at shin height. Low waters leave this area good for everything but a surf. With higher levels, curlers will come but only the remnants of what once was.

PATCH: A stillness so tranquil you want for nothing else but what is. A shallow pond, energies underneath are not even enough to break onto rock, but rather it graces the shore with a touch - an embrace - before it retreats back into what is known. Higher levels will bring better opportunity. And so, back to the classic patch we go.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Don't find fault, find a remedy." - Henry Ford

Residual ripples under an undulating sky as blue and white mix and mingle.  Fading away though some stragglers will stay the low tide takes while the higher tides give.  Languishing swells from all angles are part and parcel for the day.  Favorably no winds with a serene calm.   Scent of eucalyptus in the air and a temp of 60F.  Full beauty in the beholder's eye and mood swings as the day progresses. 

CHANNEL:  Too low and too early for slides to materialize and formulate plans.  Fishing kayaks probe the shoals in search of sport while consistent shin rackers break along the Channel bars.  More tide will lend more opportunity though size will remain diminutive under waning swells. 

PATCH: Replete with rocks and absent of much else currently.  Now tides fill in and will rise and rise to magnificent heights.  May they bring some positive energies to the arena?  Unknown for now as the S swell drops off to lingering levels but still has the capacity to provide meager nourishment.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude" - Maya Angelou

Wiping the sleep from our eyes we are able to see that the fog layer has landed and blanketed the town with mist. Though not as chilly as yesterday, the wind still keeps us bundled for the early hours of the day. 62F and hopefully rising, yet the forecast predicts no changes.

CHANNEL: As of now the tide is still rising, and will need a bit more time. Coming up from a negative, the sandbar is still an obstacle- but not for much longer. Steep and crunchy, shin high. With more water comes more possibilities.

PATCH: Once in a while something rolls though. Consistency is absent and so is the crowd. Just a pair remain after the waiting game has on gone too long. Try wait - tide come.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Choose to be optimistic, it feels better." - Dalai Lama

Pesky SW winds and morning low tides knock the luster off and lower early temptations.  Again it's overcast though not socked in with various sprays and mists around every corner.  Temp of 59F and clearing expectations with sun raring to unleash if allowed.  NW windswell grows.  SW swell holds and all the elements are available though not quite measured or organized just yet.  As the tide fills and the winds calm, those willing to lay claim to some slides should have their wishes granted. 

CHANNEL: Surf perch and striper season is open access on the low and negative tides.  Appropriate waders in effect with long casters garnering the most action.  Tide rises fast so expect a quick turnaround in players with upbeat sliders exploring options as the NW windswell allows.  Sandbar spacing is judiciously placed with sectioned breakers thigh high and above on tap.

PATCH:  Holding steady swell waiting on reliable water levels as rock pickers probe stashes in the early hours.  Findings are currently few and far between though treasures can be mined by those with a keen sense of place and time.  Incoming tides have given a gentle push and smoothed out the rough edges with up to waist high goodness apparent at times.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"The great opportunity is where you are." - John Burroughs

Early SW wind flow and a spritz of mist unleash the start of a new day.  Not enough moisture to keep many nestled in their cocoons and early bustling action fills the streets.  Word of prophesies fulfilled and swells on the rise have many up, in and out during the lower tide access arena.  Others wait for the return of mass waters to allow for energies to be brought forth.  Either way is good for you as there is plenty to share.  Overcast and 59F but that is sure to change for the better.

CHANNEL: Let's swim to the moon.  Let's climb through the tide.  Surrender to the waiting worlds, that lap against our side.

PATCH:  A heady SW swell remains and is formulated to work best with more water.  Those with unlimited time sip coffee and trade stories to pass the hours while others stretch rubber over arms and legs and tote logs forthwith.  Textured but not tattered in the morning climate.  Smooth and creamy as the day progresses.

Daily Surf Report - 8/18/2017

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice." - Bob Marley

Resilient in the early light with tide change allowing easy access to all.  All non-workers and non-scholars are here filling the voids.  Summer time vibes can continue in your mind for as long as you will allow.  Today can be your day to splash, frolic or shred - as you see fit.  Lightly overcast that should soon dissolve and give way to sun.  Temp of 58F and light ESE winds.  Built NW windswell and budding SW swell are the primary players and both are currently alive and active. 

CHANNEL: Low tide filling in and pushing back and up towards the seawall.  Presently viable with a smooth facade and deeper bar offerings.  Longboards are a worthwhile option for making the voyage but eggs and mid-lengths offer an alternative viewpoint once up and riding.  Wandering waist high waves make for a playful morning.  Mind the wall in the evening hours when the tide peaks as it eats boards and spits out the shards.  

PATCH:  A SW swell in its germination phase shows promise and potential after much wait and debate.  Forthcoming tide lending more water to the fray and all loggers with length to spare have this locale in mind.  Let your eyes be the judge and your heart lead the way.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" - Martin Luther King Jr.

The change of the California scenery is an astounding feature. From rolling brown hills, into the fog ridden trees, and out into the open ocean, there's a change of weather as we head west but nevertheless, the clean air intermingling with salt water does any head a lot of good. Starting out at high 50s F and expected to rise a bit, shedding of some overcasting shelter and bringing on what other people like to call "good." A little pick up in energy coming from the S and carried through our favorite medium is providing an end of summer splash here, though school in session keeps many away. More for us.

CHANNEL: The incoming does not bequeath us with major pleasantries but it is always the thought that counts, and in this regard we are able to move on water at a vertical position so what is not to like about this gift. Better yet when a change comes for there are definitely things.

PATCH:  Energy enough to create potentiality but high tides dwarf any possibility of a break. As a medium, water is forced to create the tiniest of shadows but its abundance proves to be overpowering. Later in the day, holding a longboard I say.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality." - William Burroughs

What we speak is true, as what has come has yet to leave and its agenda is open air. High of one transferring to a low of another but generally staying crisp, cool, and clean. Water potentials create a feasible concoction for good fortune while textures appear lumpy but not strong. Moments are here and how joyous they are become up to you. Never a teacup nor is it sharing similarities with a stomach-drop, but rather the experience of the moment is here. 

CHANNEL: All from laying launchers to feet fanatics, there is a population of human beings here. Short and sweet but showing promise of returns for desired rights. Increase in height by a smidgen, growth is occurring but for how long is yet to be written.

PATCH:  Tumbling low, we question the check of reality down here at knee height. Feasible moments approach in a luxury interlude. Unknown it is not, but rather sparse and small.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
" A raindrop from the roof fell in my beer " - Jack Kerouac

The early bird gets the worm. A morning high disintegrates but some are able to catch what left before nothingness sets in. A chilly morning it is. 57F and if today is like yesterday, it will not rise much more. All day fog has set in, or maybe it never left.

CHANNEL: Shin high destiny has arrived. Although it nothing to party about, few rejoice just in the possibilities and opportunity.

PATCH:  Sometimes you feel all but real.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Run over by my lawnmower,  waiting for me to leave,  The frog" - Jack Kerouac
 

Oh where has the summer gone? Fog and chill enter in as the day begins. Early risers and hypnotizers see the water the same way today as the NW stand still.  Cool air temperatures keep us bundled up from head to toe. Enjoy the morning with some tea and a book, for surfing is not an option here.

CHANNEL: Afternoon visions seem clear, anything better than now will do. Ankle biters with no power crumble through and fade. Tide swings will have an effect on conditions later, keep an eye out for better hours will come.

PATCH:  Nothing to see here. Abandoned by all but a single gull. He's not friendly so no reason to accompany him.
