Daily Surf Report - 9/14/2011

Waves, waves and vibes

This Wednesday morning, the surf is good and the vibe is tight out there.
Be friendly and respectfull of all people in the water, when the waves are fun like this, in the middle of the week, the town's people truely have it to themselves. Come out and share a few with the community, think of each wave you make as a gift from the village! And let everyone have their "fun rides"~ especially the one's that might need/deserve to it more than you.
Today's ideal session would be shredding a shorty at the Groin, followed by noserides at the patch. Time your tides, and take'r easy ya'll....


Channel: Not big, but small and hollow, longboards drop in, and then most people couldn't outrun the section. Would be kinda sick on a fish, but the sets here are infrequent compared to the patch. Breaking off the middle groin bar, further outside on the sets.

Patch: Logtown, freeways are trying to clear up with the tide filling in. Currently a little too drained, but should line up more better with more water.

In-store Shaper Event:
David Vernor, the man behind Vernor surfboards, will be in the shop this Saturday, 9/17/2011, from 11am to 1pm. This is a great opportunity to talk boards and design with a local shaper. You can work out a custom order or browse the rack of in-stock boards. We have Mini Simmons, shortboards, hybrids, eggs, Mini-Mals, HP longboards and Classic Noseriders in the shop. Always hand-made from start to finish in Santa Cruz.

Oh Bo,

Currently, things on the califonia coast are just fine.
Probably everywhere on the coast that faces a little south could be an Ok place to be today. That being said, Bolinas is one of those spots. I saw a fair amount of waves out there this morning. Not amping or anything, but surf looks fun. About waist high, scattered lines at both spots. No wind yet, about 62 degrees. Overcast.


Channel: Not big, but small and hollow, longboards drop in, and then most people couldn't outrun the section. Would be kinda sick on a fish, but the sets here are infrequent compared to the patch. Breaking off the middle groin bar, further outside on the sets.

Patch: Longboard city. Waist high and lined up, soft, and long. Patch seems to be breaking more frequently, about waist high.

12:30 PM update:
Wind is up, but sideshore, waves should still be fun...

Glassy and Full Moon,
I mean...really, NO wind, at all. 62 degrees and light haze in the sky, good visibility still too. I almost forgot what "no wind" looks like. Oh, and also: waves~ little clean ones, lined up, about waist high, and not stopping till the beach, maybe even a couple hollow sections, for real. I hope your not reading this at work, sorry if that is your situation.

Channel: I saw a clean one break through for a long way without any sections, super glassy, middle sandbar left at groin. Around 4-6 people out.

Patch: Small surf breaking on the inside in the knee to thigh high range, looking clean, and loggable.

Daily Surf Report - 9/11/2011

Good Morning,

First of all, as we all know, today is the tenth anniversary of the biggest tragedy our country has known. Let's all take a moment to remember the lives lost and the family's left behind that have to grapple with the loss of loved-ones daily. Also, let us all take a moment to reflect on how blessed we are to be alive and smile on your brother today.
And help, if you are able, to let them know that they are not alone.

Today in Bolinas is the typical summer weather, foggy and drizzly.
There is no wind at this point and there continue to be waves rolling in at both spots, with the channel serving up the best this morning.

Channel: Still showing lefts off the 2 sandbars. Deeper Channel bar is waist high +. A bit dumpy but some smooth, flat sections to work. Inside Groin left is smaller but working as well. Longboard for best results but shortboard will work too. About 10 folks out.

Patch: Small surf breaking on the inside in the knee to thigh high range. Def bring the longboard. One person out.

Straight out of Stockton, CA - PAVEMENT. Alt punk band is on the ipod all day today.

Another misty, foggy blanket hangs over town this morning. Winds are light and south and the temp is 56F. Sun should burn it off by early afternoon and our nice days will continue. Better than it looks out there today and any day you surf is better than not. Combo NW windswell + small south swell in the water. Like the package of chicken you buy at the store - pieces and parts. If you get into the wave and if you make the section and if you float the little ledge (all fun things to do on a board) it does hold up and some good rides can be had.


Channel: Still showing lefts off the 2 sandbars. Deeper Channel bar is waist high +. A bit dumpy but some smooth, flat sections to work. Inside Groin left is smaller but working as well. Shorter boards will work as there is still some energy just not as smooth or clean as yesterday.

Patch: Crumbling waves in the thigh high + size. Plenty of water so rocks are covered and you can right it almost to the beach before kicking out. About 5 surfers in the water right now.

2:00pm Update:
The sun has come out and temp is up to 69F. Waves are small but plentiful.

A foggy blanket hangs over town this morning. Winds are light and temp is currently 56F. Sun should burn it off by early afternoon and our nice days will continue. Still a bit of surf to ride in town with waves in the thigh to waist + size.

Channel: Still showing a nice little left off the 2 sandbars. Smooth and fast to the inside. About waist high and everyone is on longboards at the moment. Decent tide for the day.

Patch: The right on the inside is getting lots of action right now. Plenty of water so rocks are covered and you can right it almost to the beach before kicking out. Longboards, SUPs and a few smaller boards are in the water. Boogie board and handplane will work unreal as well. Thigh to waist high in size.

Daily Surf Report - 9/8/2011

11:00am Update:
The sun is now out and temp is up to 65F. What more do you want in a day?

Cool mornings and Indian Summer afternoons. A nice bit of weather going on and starting to taste a bit like Fall in the air. Today we have light offshore winds and a current temp of 53F. Thigh to waist high waves at both spots, and the crowds are light Light overcast which should give way to sun later today.

Channel: This is the spot today with regular waist high lefts off the sandbars and about 8 people on it. Fast wave that will take you to the inside. Longboards are the call but something shorter will work if you are a good paddler.

Patch: Inside rights on the north end of the Patch. Thigh high + and smooth. Very rideable but not many takers here yet as the Channel is better. Looks like fun rides to be had and the incoming tide covers the rocks.

Bolinas is Chilling so Hard right now.

~ No wind, waist high waves at both spots, and the crowds are nonexistant (all except the rental beach house full of a dozen Euro-Burningman recoverees I met yesterday)So today at the beach, could and should bee a great time to just come and log in the fog again. I do indeed believe the fog I am seeing will clear off quite soon too, it did yesterday. That south swell activity is still hanging around it's true.


Channel: About 6 people out, long sweeping lines breaking left off of the middle groin bar, kinda a big section, but if you made it you would be flying, that's for sure.

Patch:
Tide coming up, and the waves are kinda nice here, about waist high and long "longboardable" waves about waist high. I could see about 3-4 people out and someone had a good ride too.



Tune up your log with our fin rental program. Find the perfect fin to make your board perform. For $10 / day or $20 / week, you can rent one of our fins and find the perfect ride. We have a great selection of varying sizes and flex for all boards.

Labor Day is Over~

Put your white pants and Ray bans away for the summer- All the kids are back in school, the minivans are back in their respected driveways and garages, and all the weirdos are heading back from Burningman in a scramble to their cubicles... What I am trying to tell you is that: Surf season is starting today! The swell is still here (and quite shredable), and Bolinas is working, here, for you, if you want it ; )
Thin fog is hanging just over the beach, I don't see it lasting much longer than an hour or two, about 61 degrees out, and hardly any wind.

Channel: About 12 people out, all people are spread out as the waves are spreading out too. Lining up with long faces, about waste high. Lefts off of the middle groin.

Patch:
Still working. Outside sets crumbling in through the middle... then reforming off the inside reef for nice little pocket rides... about waist high here as well.

We are open today from 9am - 6pm so come out and enjoy the beach and surf.

Overcast and foggy morning with a current temp of 56F. Light offshore winds grooming up a smooth ocean. Some swell still remains with waves at both spots. Very rideable on longboards today.

Channel: Lefts off the Channel and Groin bars are working. Waves are breaking in the thigh to waist high range. Clean, smooth and connecting to the inside. About 10 in the water.

Patch: Still some swell and waves out there. Scattered peaks with waves in the waist high range. Breaking way outside, to the north and on the inside as well. There are still plenty of waves to be had. There are surfers all over the area on longboards and SUPs.

Congrats to Drew and Blair who won the first series of corn bag / hole toss 2 out of 3 last night.

Good morning,

Misty, foggy, morning. Little to no wind at this time. Temp is 57F. Hopefully the sun will burn through later today. Still some swell energy in the water, smaller, and less consistent, but there are waves to be had in both spots.

Channel: Lefts off the Channel and Groin are working, breaking in the thigh high range. Currently working pretty well, clean and smooth.
Several people out already.

Patch: Still some swell out there. Waves are breaking on the outside in the waist high range, not really connecting to the inside. There are waves to be had, just bring your longest board to catch them.

Misty morning with light fog and some south winds. Temp is 56F but sun should show up later today. Still swell energy in the water but not as clean as yesterday.

Channel: Lefts off the Channel and Groin bars at waist to almost shoulder high. Waves are still kind of broad and sectioned but some will connect on the inside. Shorter boards are working inside but bigger boards are paddling today.

Sunny. Smooth. Glassy.
3.5' @ 18 secs from 195 degree.
All words and numbers surfers like to hear.

THESE CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND SO PLEASE USE CAUTIONWHEN VISITING CALIFORNIA BEACHES THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

Cooler morning with current temp of 52F. Sun is already out and we will be seeing temps into the 70s through the weekend. The ocean has cleaned up and swell is still in the water with good energy.


Channel: Lefts off the Channel bar at shoulder high +. Waves are broad and sectioned but some at the Groin connect all the way to the inside. Shorter boards are working but bigger boards are paddling better right now.

Patch: About waist to chest high and still with scattered peaks. Rights and lefts abound. Longboards and SUPs are in the water catching waves all over the area. Not super clean but an improvement from yesterday.

Boat Ramp: Waves breaking out front in the chest high + size here as well. Part of the broader waves rolling through from the Groin but are catchable and rideable today.

Daily Surf Report - 9/1/2011

2:30 pn Update:
Sun is breaking thru a bit and temp is 67F. Winds are very light. Lots of swell in the water and still cleaning up a bit. Lots of surfers out.

Foggy morning with light winds. Current temp is 56F. Sun is out there but wont make an appearance until early afternoon. Ocean starting to clean up and swell is showing at all beach spots in town. Pieces and parts along the beach but rideable. About 12 in the water and more putting on suits with a group on the beach pointing and gesturing. Not super clean yet. High pressure expected to kick in today and warm temps + offshore winds on tap.

Channel: Lefts off the channel bar at around waist to almost chest high. Rideable on a longboard but a bit mushy for anything short. Changing tides and weather should improve.

Patch: About waist high + with scattered peaks. Rights and lefts and longboards or SUPs will work. Incoming tide and less wind will help.

Boat Ramp: Waves breaking out front in the waist high + size here as well. Again, scattered and not real clean but there are rides to be had on a longboard.

Daily Surf Report - 8/31/2011

"UPDATED" Bolinas Surf Report: 2:45 PM

Everyone is asking "is the surf up yet?"
Answer: yes, the swell is starting to show, AND the wind is still up too- about 10 knots onshore from the south. There are waves coming in everywhere, not really big, but definetly energy in the water, but not as surfable as it should be. Only like 5 people out in the water. No need to bring a shortboard yet.

Channel: Super high tide, the left off the channel bar is trying to grind, at around waist to almost chest high, but because of this tide there really is not too much to work with as far as shape goes. Dropping tide could = long lines

Patch: Probably the call, the wind is not killing it as much here, and there are a few people out surfing. About waist high, but lined up and somewhat consistant. Things should get better with the tide drop and hopefully the winds will beging to mellow.

Daily Surf Report - 8/30/2011

Goodness Gracious,

I wish I could do the surf report later this week, when a swell is here. At that time though, I will probably just be surfing.
I truely would love to be telling everyone about great waves and conditions. I however, am not one to fight their own destiny, and I am realizing that I am indeed determined to be the grim reeper of surf reporters~ bringing news of cold onshore conditions and ankle high waves. Thats just the way it is folks. Not my fault. Neptune is preparing for something, I can say that for sure, but today it seems, is a day of preperation. That said, such preparations do most definetly include learning to surf (your #1 priority remember?) Today is a great day for that indeed, crumbling and gentle knee high waves with nobody around. Perhaps, later today, when the sun comes out, we could see ideal longboard and learning conditions... so bear that in mind.

Channel: Waves in the ankle to knee high range today. Scattered peaks from Seadrift to the Channel and the inside Groin. Mostly lefts with an occasional right towards Stinson. Incoming tide seems to be helping and a few fun and long rides are out there.

Daily Surf Report - 8/29/2011

UPDATE: 12:40 PM, SUN HAS BURNED THROUGH AND THE TIDE IS HIGH, AS IT DROPS THE WAVES COULD PICK UP A TAD

Good Morning Californianites and followers of the Sun.

Today it seems Bolinas beach and surf spots are a little tired and cloudy from such a busy weekend. I mean, I guess waves are breaking through the fog, and I guess there are a few guys out, I mean, I did see someone at the channel shuffle into a ankle high left for a cross step-to- 3 second trimsection. In my opinion, it looked like a lot of work. But hey, if you have the means and abilities to get stoked off of a lined up, 58degree, 1ft and foggy, sandbar left, you should go into the ministry or something, because your powers of stoke and optimism go beyond the sandbar. Also, if you need to beat the crowds of this weekend and still cleanse your being with a wave on a longboard in a serene and peaceful setting, you could definitely do so at the channel today. I will let you know if the sun comes out later today.....Om, peace, peace, peace~

Channel: Waves in the ankle to knee high range today. Scattered peaks from Seadrift to the Channel and the inside Groin. Mostly lefts with an occasional right towards Stinson. Incoming tide seems to be helping and a few fun and long rides are out there.

Sun is out and blazing. 73F and surf!

A bit more fog and mist than yesterday but calm winds and still smooth ocean. No bats! Current temp of 55F. Sun should make an appearance by early afternoon and temps have hit 70F. Whispers, hints and a few small waves today. Last swell coughing out a few peelers and incoming tide push starting to help. Still rideable but bring your big boards today for best results.


Channel: Waves in the knee to thigh range today. Scattered peaks from Seadrift to the Channel and the inside Groin. Mostly lefts with an occasional right towards Stinson. Incoming tide seems to be helping and a few fun and long rides are out there.


Patch: Outside past the rock are a few small waves in the knee high + range. Still needs some more tide to fill in to get working and evenings have been loggable and nice.

2:47pm Update:
Sun is out and temps are up to 71F. Still rideable longboard waves in town. Bats into hiding until dark.

We are greeted this morning with grey skies and mild fog - also dive-bombing bats trying to suck my blood. No wind and a current temp of 56F. Ocean is smooth and there is a little pulse of energy in the water. There are peeling grinders and grinding peelers to be ridden today. Zippy and fun. Sun should be out early afternoon - bats go home!

Channel: Waves in the thigh to waist high size breaking consistently on the Channel bar. Smooth and rideable lefts with an occasional right in the Channel. Sets a bit bigger and better. Inside Groin waves as well in the thigh + size. Knee high Banzai Pipeline style on the inside - hollow.


Patch: Small crumblers outside in the knee high range. Still needs some more tide to fill in to get working and evenings have been loggable.

2:30 pm Update:
Sunny, beautiful and warm. Summer is here. Temp is 74F. Waves are small but loggable.

Our foggy / misty blanket is back today. Makes you want to stay home and under the covers with a good book and hot cup of coffee. You would miss some fun surf if you did that. Current temp is 57F and winds remain light. Ocean still smooth and waves today.

Channel: Waves in the waist high + size breaking consistently on the Channel bar. Smooth and rideable lefts. Inside Groin waves as well in the thigh + size. Might be able to get a smaller board working on the inside sections but a longboard is the best call right now.

Patch: Starting to show signs of life with a few SUPs and loggers outside. Waves in the knee to thigh high size. Mighty still need some more tide to fill in and evenings have been working.
