Daily Surf Report - 4/9/2013

Good morning all it's so good to be back! It's another wonderful day here at the beach as it's sunny with a mild temperature coming in at about 51 degrees. There is a bit of texture on the water's surface  but nothing to get your chones (pronounced: Cho-Nays) in a bunch about. The surf is a bit meager today but a huge board or an SUP may do the trick.


CHANNEL: Breaking at waist high (maximum) over the outside middle bar towards the Sea Drift side. Mostly section-y and as the tide is filling in more than Val Kilmer at an All-You-Can-Eat buffet table the recent swell is dissipating a bit as well but with the right gear (i.e. HUGE board) one may find a cornius on which to glide! Two (2) on longboards bellying up to the salad bar as I write this.



PATCH:  Ugh! Not a whole lot happening today at the good 'ol Clam Patch. It's grunting and groaning but not a heck of a lot coming through... especially now with this incoming tide. Perhaps later in the day with the tide turn-around. Maybe Elvis will show up and "Do The Clam" for us as well. I'll update later right here if such an occurrence does indeed happen. No one here 'cept clams.

Daily Surf Report - 4/8/2013

Sunny, clear, dry and beautiful morning.  Lots of overnite wind.  Look out for debris strewn roads as branches, tree limbs and leaves were spread around last night.  A bit chill at 49F but the wind is WNW and offshore so it is grooming up the ocean and making it nice and smooth.  It's Monday so the crowds are gone and the surf still remains rideable and fun.  Mostly longboards getting into the action today as you need a bit of glide to get going with the stiff winds. 


CHANNEL: Still have small waves from the Groin pole over to seadrift.  Bars are not perfect so waves are sectioning a bit.  Occasionally one lines up with a face and shoulder to move on.  Size runs around waist high today.  Tide is filling in and could swamp it out.  Afternoon outgoing could be really fun.  Stay tuned for updates!



PATCH:  Peaks about in the Patch this morning with surf outside, midway and inside at the Snags.  Incoming tide keeping the rocks covered up and giving that extra push.  Smooth ocean surface and about 5 surfers in the water.  Lots of waves to ride and glide.  This is the spot today.  Size running waist + all over the area.

Daily Surf Report - 4/7/2013

MARTY!!!
It's a case of the Monday's weather wise again, but the swell is still holding pretty well.  Rain, drizzle, fog, it's all here as well your 50 best friends, already in the water.  Glassy like conditions despite the light SW winds onshore, so get it while you can.  Surf in both locations today, and some rides generating the 1.21 Gigawatts that make time travel possible.  All variety of boards and non-boards should be cruising out there today.  Save the clock tower.


CHANNEL: surf still grinding through from boat ramp to seadrift.  About 8 guys in the water on a mixed bag of equipment, and pieces and parts of waves are sectioning through here and there, with the occasional rewarding shoulder or section.  In about the waist + range, maybe a little bigger on the sets.  Should swamp out at the high tide and then as it turns be grinding on the low, with a strong current.  Get your plutonium together boys and girls, don't get stuck in 1955...



PATCH:  I must've hit my head on the toilet, flux capacitor visions all morning, and some cute little rollers finding their way to the reef at the Patch, with no one taking notice, except the 30 or so people already on it.  Fairly spread out though, and plenty of waves breaking in the waist high region to get your stoke on and generate a little lightning to get you back to 1985.

Daily Surf Report - 4/6/2013

1:00pm Update: Rain has stopped and sun is trying to break through.  Temp up to 60F and winds are very light.  Swell numbers stay up and surf conditions vary.

Morning overcast, with light rain and variable S winds.  Leave the sunscreen home and bring a poncho.  Swell is here with good numbers but not translating to great surf so far.  Lumpy and chunky WNW swell with a touch of S mixed in for good measure.  Lots of water moving around today but conditions are not EPIC.  The marauding horde should thin out soon once reality sets in - the surf is just OK.  Currently 53F with sunshine predicted for later today and through the weekend.  Lots of flotsam and jetsam in the water today with the extra energy so keep an eye out for debris such as logs.


CHANNEL: Pieces here and there with a few waves that hold up and are decently rideable.  Size does go waist to chest high but it is consistently inconsistent.  Sets close out as do most waves.  There are some that you can pick of and get long rides on but the peaks are scattered today.  All types of boards will work and all types of boards are in the water.  Swell should hold through the day and into Sunday and surf conditions may need some time to improve.  Not the worst day to get wet but be patient and wait for the clean ones to come.



PATCH:   Surf all over today with good amount of push.  Smoother here than at the Channel and size is waist high +.  Lots of longboards and a few SUPs outside and midway.  Somewhat shortboardable on the inside with smooth dumpers to pull into and ride to the beach.  Tide is still coming in so all rocks are covered.  Crowded here but you can get waves.

Daily Surf Report - 4/5/2013

Morning fog, overcast, light drizzle and general moisture.  No winds today and ocean is smoothing out.  Temp coming in at 55F right now.  Low vis conditions due to fog on the water but there are waves and surfers are on it.  Good little swell conditions filling in on the buoys today and into the weekend.  Use the Jedi mind trick and put a suit on and paddle out.  Free shower van in the lot but no sign of porti shower yet.


CHANNEL: Hard to see but did make out a few waves rolling through at the Groin.  Channel is unknown due to fog.  A few in the water and a few walking down.  There are waves - you can hear them breaking.  Once you are in the water you can surf them as well.  Generally smoothed out ocean after 1 day of rain.  Guessing size to be waist high and will update after the morning crowd rolls through to tell their morning tales.



PATCH:   Inside surf at the Snags is visible, outside surf is not.  Trust the force and paddle out or you'll be the only one missing it.  Good group in the water and more heading over.  One SUP rider reported waist high + if you can trust a SUPer.  Grab a log and go find yourself a mysto wave to ride.

Daily Surf Report - 4/4/2013

Rain and stiff S winds.  Victory at sea conditions.  Surf is buzz-killed for the day.  Rain only expected for 1 day then back to sunshine for the weekend.  New long period swell is on the horizon starting Friday evening so stay tuned for better conditions in the near future.  If you plan on carrying a board down to the beach hold on tight so you don't get taken for a ride.  No sign of the free shower van today but not too many will be at the beach either. 


CHANNEL: Sloppy mess with whitecaps all over.  Hasn't been much here lately but the weather and wind are taking their toll today.  Pieces and parts that don't have shape and are not rideable.  Size in the waist high range but not clean at all.



PATCH:   More whitecaps and messy conditions here as well.  Winds onshore and causing no waves today.  Empty lineup and no lookie-loos either.

Daily Surf Report - 4/3/2013

Full sunshine and mild at 56F.   A bit of NW windswell + small bit of S showing on the buoys this morning.  Not much out there yet but a few rollers to ride can be found.  Looks like a porti-shower has been set up in the lot for an after surf rinse.  Great day for beginners and amateurs to learn to surf!


CHANNEL: Tide heading low and causing quite a rip in the Channel today.  Churned up water and lots of sand in the surf zone.  May be a bit more over at Seadrift but this spot needs more favorable tides to get working again.  What waves come through look knee to thigh in size but shape is marginal at best.  Seek surf elsewhere until the afternoon tide fills in.



PATCH:   Mini rollers about midway and through the Snags this morning.  Clean, glassy and breaking right along to the inside.  Size is only about thigh high but there is enough to get a longboard or SUP going and there are a few out there now.  Bottoming tide will expose the rocks so watch out and have fun.

Welcome to April. Starting out hazy, overcast and light rain today. Partially clearing skies with hint of blue showing here and there. Sun is coming out soon! Light and variable S winds. Temp is 55F and mild. A bit of NW swell kicking in and ocean is relatively smooth. If you didn't overindulge on ham, deviled eggs, prime rib, chocolate bunnies and all the other Easter goodies, roll out of bed a get a few waves today.


CHANNEL: A bit more swell today with something coming from the NW. A contingent of surfers in the water hunting the leftover eggs / waves and finding a few to ride as well. Tide is heading to a negative low later this morning so the early bird with get the worm as rocks and sandbars will soon be exposed. Size runs about thigh high and everyone is on longboards which will work best today. More action in the ocean then we have had the past few days so Giddy Up!



PATCH: Tide dropping and rocks starting to show. There are scattered waves out here today and a small group of surfers and a SUP or 2 are on it. Out past the meeting rock is breaking with waves in the thigh to waist high range. Relatively smooth and big boards will thrive here today. If you don't get it now it will shut down soon with the draining tide but keep an eye on the inside snags for a few to ride and mind the boils!!

HAPPY EASTER!

Overcast and Hazy out here, with little sprinkly showers here and there.  Sun is trying to pop through at times but rain is forecasted throughout the day.  Go hunt those eggs in the yard, as you have a better chance of finding the Easter bunny than getting a shack out here today.  Perhaps with the tide push we will see some peeps get some Cadbury cover ups...


CHANNEL: minimal swell and surf and lots of sand bars exposed.  Lumpy and chunky windswell out there at present and waves are in the shin high, maybe knee at most, range.  Two groms are frolicking in the whitewash with in their Sunday best.



PATCH:   ROCKS!!! are popping up like eggs out there today.  No surf to speak of at present, but keep your fingers crossed, maybe we will see improvement with the tide push throughout the day.  Touring SUP and kayaks are a go!  We do NOT have these for rent.

Daily Surf Report - 3/30/2013

1:00pm Update:
Hints of sunshine breaking through.  Wind remains very light.  Surf remains small.

Overcast and a bit of misty/drizzle this morning.  Still no wind and temp is a balmy at 53F.  Rain later today and possibly into Easter so get to the beach now if you can.  Still no real swell to speak of.  Macroscopically microscopic this morning with low tide going lower.  Hopefully incoming tide will give that little push to get surfboards moving but currently looks like a SUP or kayak morning.  Drink some coffee and wait it out if you can.  Evenings have been small but fun with little waves at both spots.    Massive amounts of exposed beach, rocks and sandbars for you viewing pleasure.


CHANNEL: Sandbars exposed out into the lineup this morning with more water heading out.  Lets you see how the bars are set up for when swell arrives and water covers.  As for now pick your favorite ocean dwelling creature and pretend you are it.  That is how you will get waves in a favorable size this morning.  Double over barnacle at best.  Seahorse shacks and urchin tubes galore.  Clam cover-ups and Tip Time for starfish.  Will need more water to start a little push and maybe get things going today.  Not a whole lot of swell out there but bring the big board and expectations may be met later in the day.



PATCH: Lots of rocks showing.  Very few if any waves showing this morning.  Negative low tide has things shut down for now.  2 longboarders in the water having a nice morning conversation.  Not much paddling or wave riding to speak of.  Size is ankle at best.  Definitely needs more water and late morning into the afternoon is a possibility if the weather holds out as well.  Touring SUP and kayaks are a go!  We do NOT have these for rent.

Daily Surf Report - 3/29/2013

Sunny at the beach. Warm and beautiful morning. No wind and current temp is 52F. All we need to make it perfect is more swell. Relatively flat morning with a few rollers here and there. Not a lot out there swell wise right now. People in the water enjoying the day and picking off waves when they pop up. Great day for a big big board and perfect for beginners. Low tide now and incoming will help with shape and a bit of push. Bring the sunscreen and come out to the beach.


CHANNEL: Low tide filling in with lots of sand exposed. Very weak and knee high at best. Seadrift also looking no bueno at this time. Will need more water to start a little push. Bars have been set up for MaliBo rights inside and outside lefts in the main Channel. Will update later as conditions change / improve.



PATCH: Patch still pretty small but a few adventurers are out there now getting the knee / thigh high rollers when they come through. Incoming tide will help and you get a few if you are patient. Have a big board and you will be rewarded. Smooth, glassy ocean and plenty of sunshine and exposed rocks.

Daily Surf Report - 3/28/2013

Mist and drizzle this morning - we'll call is miszle I guess. Not actual rain which may come later but wet skies. Wind is still light and temp is 54F. Still a nice glassy ocean but swell is just remnants at this time with the S diminishing and the NW windswell with not much energy. Incoming tide may give a bit of push and if you have a big longboard there are a few rides to be had.


CHANNEL: Low tide filling in starting to give a little push. Small waves in the knee to thigh range. Surf mainly rights at MaliBo and over at Seadrift as well. Not much energy in the water but there are a few to pick off here and there. A bit of waiting for the last bits of the S to cough up waves but they are out there if you are patient. Bigger boards are the norm today so leave the fish at home.



PATCH: Patch has slowed to a crawl but does give up a knee high + rideable right occasionally. Incoming tide will help and you can milk the wave along until it hits the inside. Rollers at the meeting rock can be snagged but a bit more opportunity mid-way to get up and riding. Smoothness, just not a lot of juice today. Board choice - the bigger the better today.

Daily Surf report - 3/27/2013

Happy hump day to all of you creatures of the brine! It's a bit gloomy out here at the beach today but just weather-wise. Overcast with off-and-on misting in the air. The current air temp is buzzing in at about 52 degrees and the water temp is just south of that. However, there isn't any wind as of yet keeping it glassy all over. There is still a bit of a bump in the rump out there in the H2O so, pour yourself out of bed and splash on the neoprene, grab the hydrodynamic vehicle of your choice and get to slidin'!


CHANNEL: Waist-to-chest high as it's just starting to fire at the middle bar with this little incoming tide push, especially that right on the Sea Drift side. It's high ballin' like a fast frieght out of the yard with Lee Marvin as the king hobo riding that steel snake all the way to purgatory (Emperor of the North 1973...google it). There will be long lulls but wait for it....wait for it.... and BAM! Any water craft will work here as long as you have the chops, amigo. Two (2) there now as I write this. One lumber jack and one janitor.



PATCH: The Clam Patch is slowing down a bit with the current swell BUT there is still something out there to be had (besides suckers and rubes) at the thigh-to-waist high range. Rollers are slipping in from just inside the Rock/Meeting Rock/Bulk Head through the middle and well into the inside. Lefts and rights. Again, there is a long waiting period between sets but with a big enough log you can glide away and work on your foot work and style. About seven (7) out there now on longboards and a janitor board as well as the birthday boy, Hank "Boom Boom" Biddle! Happy Birthday, homie!

Daily Surf report - 3/26/2013

Buenas dias todo suferos del mar! Another glorious morning here at the beach as it's sunny with an air temp of 48 degrees and no wind (yet), glassy conditions as there is still some of that swell remaining in town for you to glide your cares away.


CHANNEL: Waist-to-just-under-chest high as it looks as if it's just starting to fire with this incoming tide. It looks like the middle bar all the way towards Sea Drift is where it wants to deposit you in the slot. Not every wave is clean so be patient and picky and you will be rewarded with some fun salty realities. No one here as of yet but I see some folks eye-ballin' and getting ready...



PATCH: I can't believe this! The Calm Patch is STILL showing a swell, albeit a tad smaller than yesterday. Windex glassy in the waist-high area breaking over the middle and the inside. The Snags have there mojo workin' and even E.T.'s and Green/Africa have there little lefts slippin' and slidin' on through. Tide is coming up but always be mindful of the rocks below... great day to learn how to kick out of a wave instead of just falling off of your board. About ten (10) on Log-boards and hall-way buffing equipment.

Goodmorning everyone and welcome to another wonderful week here at the beach. We're rounding the bend and are on our way to the finish line for the month of March and we're doing it with a bit o' style. Air temps coming in at 47 degrees (though it will certainly warm up later today) with the sun out, some patchy clouds and a bit of that swell still lolling through the glassy brine. Grab a big board and get to sliding!


CHANNEL: Looking a bit like a cat hacking up a hair-ball over the sand bar with that frothy, white water ooze. Nothing really breaking clean here at the moment EVEN with this incoming tide. Go figure. No one here not even a Tabby.



PATCH: Still some of that south swell swaggering through here like Muhammed Ali after dropping Smokin' Joe Frazier! Waist (+/-) rights in the middle of the Clam Patch, inside, the Snags as well as the lefts over at E.T.'s and Green/Africa. Glass, class and a whole lotta' sass.

Daily Surf Report - 3/24/2013

Fifth day of spring nicer than the first. Push repeat for another sunny and windless morning with a glassy ocean and a bit of rideable surf! Air temp coming in at a chill 48 degrees but another nice weather day is on tap and temps should reach 70. Lingering south swell remains in the water delivering waves. Ocean a bit chill with water temp down to 50F so bring the booties. Fun day to surf and great for beginners as well.


CHANNEL: Body surfing possibilities on the Bolinas side and the MaliBO region. Not the best angle for surf here today. Seadrifte more consistent with a decent group of longboarders on the rights and lefts across the Channel. Size looks to be thigh to waist and the waves are smooth and peaky. There are waves here today but you will need to be patient to find the right spot.



PATCH: South swell still here this moring. Lots of waves to ride. Smooth and glassy. Size is waist +. Consistent sets after a bit of a waiting period. Barnacles in the northern region. Masters on the middle bowl. Grommets in the Snags. Plenty of waves with the best shape mid-way and on the inside as the tide fills in. Mostly rights that hold up. Long rides to the beach can be expected. Getting crowded so look both ways before you drop in. Open faces and noserides for all. Outside breaking as well but a bit scattered. Lots of surfers in the water and spread out as well. Incoming tide has all the rocks covered and it looks like there will be waves here all day. Get it while it lasts!

Fourth day of spring much nicer than the first. Another sunny and windless morning with a glassy ocean and a bit of rideable surf! Air temp coming in at a chill 44 degrees but another nice weather day is on tap and high pressure system remains over the area. Small south swell kicking in and comboing up with NW windswell to get both town spots working this beautiful morning. Ocean a bit chill with water temp down to 50F so bring the booties. Fun day to surf and great for beginners as well.


CHANNEL: Micro mysto MaliBo waves are still out there for the patient surfers willing to wait and sit on the Groin pole. Racy rights in the thigh high size that zip along to the beach. Sand has moved around so watch out for the early exit and shore thumping. More consistent surf in the Channel proper as bars have shifted a bit. Right and lefts running over to Seadrift and a good pod of longboarders on it already. Still thigh to waist high but smooth and lots to ride.



PATCH: South swell has arrived. Plenty of waves with the best shape mid-way and on the inside with rolling rights that are waist high. Long rides with turning possibilities and gliding noserides available for all. Outside breaking as well but a bit scattered. Lots of surfers in the water and spread out as well. Incoming tide has all the rocks covered and it looks like there will be waves here all day.

Third day of spring much nicer than the first. Another sunny and windless morning with a glassy ocean and a bit of rideable surf! Air temp coming in at 46 degrees and brisk but nice weather is on tap for the next few days. Ocean a bit chill with water temp down to 50F so bring the booties. Fun day to surf and great for beginners as well.


CHANNEL: Early morning product testing session with Jambear Hambear and single-fin/fingle-spin Walt. Alternative equipment in the water at MaliBo rights with foamie paipos, Mega-Simmons and eggs all catching lots of fun waves. Lots of sand built up on the beach so watch for the quick approaching shore and crash landings in the closeouts. Size runs thigh high but enough energy to get up and riding and make some turns. Seadrift also delivering waves in the waist high size with about 8-10 longboarders on it early. Good stuff today.


PATCH: Inside Patch slow to wake up today but incoming tide may give that extra push. Lots of wall watchers in the Peanut Gallery this morning giving it the stink eye and waiting for the right moment to suit up. Big logs will work and patience will be rewarded. A few occasionally break outside and if you can get in the rides are long. High tide covers rocks and keeps the landings soft. Looks like a nice day to ride waves.

Second day of spring much nicer than the first. Full sunshine today, no wind, glassy ocean and a bit of rideable surf! Air temp coming in at 43 degrees but that will warm up nicely today. Little storm has brought a little south swell with it and some waves as well. Fun day to surf and great for beginners as well.


CHANNEL: I've go MaliBo on my mind as I watch glassy little peelers roll through the inside of the Groin pole and produce long rights. Fish, eggs, Simmons can work here now but tide switch may shut it down. Spinning cylinders on the Seadrift and Channel side of things of well and all look fun on a longboard. Size runs thigh high + but shape is good and there is a bit of push to get you going.


PATCH: Inside Patch is reeling with Hank and David enjoying the constant fun. High tide covers rocks and keeps the landings soft. Thigh high rollers with a bit of wait time between sets. If you have something long to ride come get it here today. Out in the mid-way region the occasional wave breaks and will connect to the inside, but most times won't. Fun stuff in the Patch.
