Daily Surf Report - 3/17/2011

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Wear some green and celebrate.

Clear skies today with lots of blue showing - guess the rain is going to hold off. No wind and crisp temp of 44F. Ocean surface is smooth and there is swell in the water. It is a surf day today.

Channel/Groin: Shoulder to head high sets - again. Sandbars have settled down and are working. Dredging on the inside and very shortboardable even on the high tide. Better yesterday afternoon with lower tide. Good, workable lefts with some Seadrift rights. Lots of W in the swell direction so also some 2 - 3' waves breaking right in front of the boat ramp.

Patch: Chest to head high on the sets. Still breaking way outside with the higher tide. Longboards and SUPs in the water all catching waves. Should improve with tide change later in the day.

Closing at 2:00pm today. PJHS track meet vs. Healdsburg today. Go Bantams!

NEWS: Mini Simmons Surfboards -
New batch of Mini Simmons boards are in the shop! Come by and be one of the first to get your hands on the boards. Buy and ride today - it works insane.

With the return of retro and classic surfboards, many surfers love the feel of riding a Mini Simmons board. Based on the early designs of Bob Simmons, who was light years ahead of his peers, the boards were considered revolutionary at the time. They have enjoyed resurgence in the last few years with a massive decrease in their length, and a modernization of their features. The best way to describe these boards is short and wide. The board is a revelation to ride. They are loose, oh so skatey and the fastest board you’ll feel under your feet -period.
Designed so that even the heaviest of riders can go small in size, these boards are ridden ridiculously small, rarely getting over the 6’0” mark. An awesome alternative to the swallow-tail fish which can tend to be tippy and doesn’t handle bigger surf well.


We have new locally shaped SK8 Hand Planes in the shop made from recycled skateboards. Pair it with a set of Churchill fins and you will always have a smile on your face after your session. Each plane is unique and has individual signed artwork. Come by the shop and check them out. Makes a great gift for the surfer in the family.

Awesome board bags from Deeper Visions are flying out the door. Hand-made by a local Bolinas artist. A perfect way to store your board and all are one of a kind. Check out our current selection or ask about a custom order.

Just a reminder to pack your trash!!! PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. Respect the Beach.

Daily Surf Report - 3/12/2011

Surf's Up! Just fun to be able to say that today.

Clear blue, sunny skies with no wind and a current temp of 50F. Another nice weather day on tap so come on out to the beach and enjoy. W/NW activity on the buoys has brought waves to town today. Some sand moved around yesterday with the extreme tidal activity and it may take a bit for the bars to completely reorganize.

Channel/Groin: Solidly breaking surf in the chest to head high range on the sets. Deep Channel bar and inside Groin bar working with some sections between. If you can connect the dots and draw a good line it will line up for some long lefts. Decent energy in the water and short boards will work today.

Patch: Pieces and parts that are not too organized. Breaking way outside and inside as well. There are a few SUPs, longboards and a surf kayak in the water. Wave size is waist + and you will have to hunt for good waves. Incoming tide may improve this spot later today.

Daily Surf Report - 3/6/2011

As of 12:00 pm:

Tide hasn't helped much.

Channel/Groin: Not working at this time.

Patch: Breaking inconsistently in the knee to thigh high range
on the inside.

The most consistent and best size is in front of the boat ramp.
Most of the time it's closing out but the occasional peeler is rolling in.
There are about six people out there making the most of this otherwise dismal beach day.

Will be closing around 1:00pm today.


Good Morning,

It is a wet, grey morning here. There isn't too much wind
at this point, just a little texture on the water.
Surf is small and inconsistent.
No one out at this time.

Channel / Groin: Occasionally breaking in the knee high range. If you're really hungry to surf bring your longest board and you will be able to catch a little something. May improve as tide fills in.

Patch: Low morning tide still filling in. Waves are small, not breaking until almost on the beach.

There are a few waves breaking in front of the boat ramp as well.
Thigh high, inconsistent. I will check conditions a little later and update.

NEWS: Mini Simmons Surfboards -
With the return of retro and classic surfboards, many surfers love the feel of riding a Mini Simmons board. Based on the early designs of Bob Simmons, who was light years ahead of his peers, the boards were considered revolutionary at the time. They have enjoyed resurgence in the last few years with a massive decrease in their length, and a modernization of their features. The best way to describe these boards is short and wide. The board is a revelation to ride. They are loose, oh so skatey and the fastest board you’ll feel under your feet - period.
Designed so that even the heaviest of riders can go small in size, these boards are ridden ridiculously small, rarely getting over the 6’0” mark. An awesome alternative to the swallow-tail fish which can tend to be tippy and doesn’t handle bigger surf well.
Vernor Surfboards is blending old and new ideas together with this board. Featuring a displacement hull with almost no rocker and improved by ending the tail with a double concave and a 4-fin setup. Come by the shop on Saturday, 3/12/2011, to meet the shaper and be one of the first to get your hands on the boards.


We have new locally shaped SK8 Hand Planes in the shop made from recycled skateboards. Pair it with a set of Churchill fins and you will always have a smile on your face after your session. Each plane is unique and has individual signed artwork. Come by the shop and check them out. Makes a great gift for the surfer in the family.

Awesome board bags from Deeper Visions are flying out the door. Hand-made by a local Bolinas artist. A perfect way to store your board and all are one of a kind. Check out our current selection or ask about a custom order.

Just a reminder to pack your trash!!! PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. Respect the Beach.

Daily Surf Report - 3/5/2011

Sunny, clear blue skies and a current temp of 51F starts the day. Should be decent weather through the end of the day with rain expected tonight. Winds are calm and ocean surface is smooth. South windswell is kicking in a bit and there are small waves to surf on a longboard. If you like a beautiful morning, sun on the face, a bit of glide and trim with a few cross steps mixed in then come on out to the beach today.

Channel / Groin: Small, smooth left on both sandbars. Grinds along and lots of fun on a longboard today. Size is thigh to waist high and there are some nice rides to be had.

Patch: Low morning tide still filling in. Waves are small but breaking. All longboards and SUPs out catching waves in the thigh high + range. Ocean surface is relatively smooth with waves to ride.

Congratulations to Khara S. who won our $250 gift card raffle and now has some money to put towards a new board!

Thanks Dex for the sticker placement. That one could be up for a while.

Sunny, clear blue skies and temp of 50F starts the day. Warmed up to 70F yesterday and looks about the same today. Should be nice weather through Saturday. Winds are calm and ocean surface is smooth. North swell is dropping and a little South windswell is kicking in for a day or two.

Patch: Outside waves due to incoming tide. All longboarders and SUPs catching waves in the waist high range. Ocean surface is relatively smooth with plenty of small waves to ride.
