Closing at 5:30 today. Sun is out. Both spots have picked up a bit.

Happy Thursday. There is a low lying fog and slight drizzle this morning. Flat  conditions and the temperature is about 57 degrees. Hoping for the sun to make an appearance later in the day.

 

CHANNEL: Glassy as there is no wind but there really isn't a swell either. About shin high.

 

PATCH: Not much of anything happening out here, should hopefully get better with the tides.


PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. Respect the Beach.

Daily Surf Report - 7/17/2013

UPDATE: The sun is out and there is a small little sumpin' sumpin' in the Channel. The wind is going a bit as well but it is a wonderful sunny day.


It's somewhat poetic (perhaps, ironic?) that Wednesday's have been called "Hump Day," because this morning's surf, AT BEST would resemble a hump and not much more. At least it's not drizzling like yesterday. Flat to almost concave conditions this morning, kids as it's overcast (shocker!) and the temperature is bumping along at 58 degrees. Let's just hope this marine layer burns off and we can have some sun and a nice beach day!

 

 

CHANNEL: Well, the conditions are glassy as there is no wind but there really isn't a swell either. As stated above there really isn't a wave just a hump that might make Quasimodo a tad envious. Maybe a janitor board to tool around the pond? No one here..... duh.

 

PATCH: Just like yesterday only flatter than the Kansas plains! Again, custodial gear will work here just to paddle around and look at stuff, otherwise.... maybe it's a good day to get to that laundry. No one here either.

Daily Surf Report - 7/16/2013

Good morning surf enthusiasts. It's another gray morning here at the beach but this particular morning is siding a bit more on the dismal side of things as the temperature is oozing in at 55 and it's overcast and drizzling a touch. Hey, this is how summer can be at this little South facing, Northern California beach. Maybe later we may see some positive changes, so lets hope for the best.

 

 

CHANNEL: It's crumbly and cruddy here this morning as this knee-high looking thing that is attempting to pass itself off as a wave isn't fooling anyone... well, most anyone. It's puking along the sand bar as the lagoon empties it's contents like a date-rapey frat boy would do at Spring Break after far too many Bud light's and shots of Jaegermeister. You may want to wait this one out today and check back later after lunchtime.... or nap time... maybe dinner? Two (2) longboards out there looking more like white water kayakers.

 

PATCH: Fah-lat! I watched the Patch this morning over my coffee for 25 minutes and I've seen more action on CSPAN then anything here today. Maybe later but I really doubt it as not much of a swell is coming through. Maybe tomorrow? No one here. Not a soul. Nada. Nothing. No-thing!

Daily Surf Report - 7/15/2013

Happy Monday kids! It's another crisp, cool summer morning here at the beach as it's foggy (a bit), overcast (a lot) with almost ride-able surf (sorta'). The temp is sputtering in at about 54 degrees as a bit of a SW wind is sneezing on the salad bar giving the water surface that texture your skin gets after laying in the bath far too long. There are some wishful thinkers out there right now. If things change I'll let you know all about it right here.

 

 

CHANNEL: The lagoon is emptying out faster than the audience at a Michelle Shocked concert. Exposed sand bars are imminent as a knee high gurgler is sloshing across this rapidly draining river run. Naturally, what goes out will come back in. Later in the day this may be the spot. No one here as of yet.

 

PATCH: "They say that I'm a dreamer--but I'm not the only one." Today at the Patch and Green/Africa this 'morn there are plenty of John Lennon fans who are taking 'Imagine' to heart. Long waits for knee-high waves that don't break or go ten yards for a first down then disappear. Not the most optimum conditions but I admire the pluck of dreamers. Five to six (5-6) longboards and custodial gear looking for Yoko.

Daily Surf Report - 7/14/2013

Put on your party hat and crack that whip today.  Overcast, misty fog with clearing expected.  Currently 56F and a bit humid but calm with zero wind.  Tide heading low so you may have some time to wait for more water and better waves but come get wet anyway today.

CHANNEL: 4 in the water battling small conditions and outgoing tide rip.  Churned up by dropping water levels but that isn't stopping the intrepid surfer that needs to get waves and it shouldn't stop you either.  Bring the longboard and try to catch 3 to the beach.  They are out there if you wait and are in the right position.  Thigh high + on the best ones. 

 

PATCH: 1 janitor sweeping things up and doing a great job.  Smooth and FLAT surface in the Patch this morning.  Occasional calf cramper rights rolling through that the biggest of boards or SUPs can ride.  More water and less rocks will be the ticket here later in the day.

Daily Surf Report - 7/13/2013

It's a funky funky morning out here in Bobo-town today.  Not many surfers around, except for the one surfer out in the channel getting swirled around by the rip.  Throw on some George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic and get righteous this morning as the waves, well, the waves are FUNKY.

 CHANNEL: one person out...waves?  Hmm.  Re-read above.  Maybe waist high over at seadrift, but not much to speak of.  maybe when the tide turns around.

PATCH: On-shore winds and questionable conditions are what we have yet again this morning.  Exposed rocks everywhere, and maybe some whitewater bashing against it here and there, but no waves as of yet...maybe when the tides pushes in.

Daily Surf Report - 7/12/2013

Good morning everyone and a happy Friday to you all. It's yet another overcast morning here at the beach with the temperature coming in at 56 degrees and a pretty stiff on-shore breeze has the water surface textured pretty well. Per usual, the tide change and weather conditions will be the factor for some possible fun later. I'll post up any changes if they do indeed occur or time permits. May the force be with you.

 

 

 CHANNEL: I could of just copied and pasted the exact same thing here from previous days this week as the Channel is pretty much doing what it has been doing all week during the mornings, which is the same as that janky homeless guy up on the Mesa has been doing.... nothing. However, the tide turnaround later in the day has been delivering some ride-able glides in the afternoon/evening. Wait for it and it will come....hopefully. As for the homeless guy.... naw.

PATCH: On-shore winds and questionable conditions are not stopping six or seven longboards and janitor boards from slogging along. Though the sets are rolling in at about waist high right around the Bulk Head/Meeting Rock/Rock and with this on-shore wind they are anything but clean. Still, if you've been out of the water a while and are desperate.... Maybe later it'll clean up.

Daily Surf Report - 7/11/2013

Good day to all of you denizens of salty realities. It's another summer morning here at the beach... as in, overcast and drizzly with temps slipping in at 56 degrees. It'll warm up eventually but right now there is a pretty thick fog hugging the coast but not enough where you can't see the surf... if there were any. Okay- it's really trying today but these negative tides have a way of acting like the "Fun Police" that like to kill the buzz so badly that even Gandhi would cross the street to kick 'em in the berries. I say wait for the tide change then grab a log and glide your cares away.

 

 

 CHANNEL: Low tide = No Bueno here! Sand bars so exposed that I watched a Golden Retriever chase a flock of sea gulls (not to be confused with that British haircut band) almost to the line up. So, if you don't have hip waders and a fishing pole I suggest waiting for the tide to turn and then make a plan of action.... until then, get back to work. I'm not paying you to fool around on the computer!

PATCH: It's REALLY trying to do something here. What that "something" is, I haven't a clue but I would guess that it's attempting to create some sort of wave action...? The rocks are exposed and out by the "Meeting Rock/Bulk Head/Rock it's calling like the sirens in Odysseus... with the tide turn (much, much) later and a big enough log you may be able to spank that plank into some nice glides.

Daily Surf Report - 7/10/2013

Good morning creatures of the brine and welcome to another "Hump day." The conditions today.... well, second verse, same as the first but a little bit louder and a little bit worse. Pretty much identical to yesterdays conditions- Over cast with slight bit of fog, no wind to speak of, temp coming in at about 57 degrees but the fog will burn off and things will heat up. Ironically, later in the afternoon yesterday the swell did pick up a smidgen. By evening it was really sunny, slight side wind and waist-to-occasional-just-under chest high peelers (Under chest: Channel. Waist: Patch). Perhaps this could happen again today? Stay tuned.

 

 

 CHANNEL: This low tide is killing any possibility of a wave to ride. The sand bars are exposed Like Nixon at Watergate (look it up, kids. It's good to know your history). The swell is near non-existent right now, though it's glassy it just isn't classy. However, later today with the tide change it could get snappy and then you can get jiggy with it! Not a soul here as I write this....shocker!

PATCH: The Patch. A fickle spot indeed. One day it can be the ultimate in gliding elegance and then the next day it can flatten right out only to frustrate and cause one to curse a blue streak. Unfortunately, this morning it's the latter. Though last night there were plenty of waist high gems to hang five over on and only three (3) of us in the water enjoying it.... maybe tonight we will see a repeat performance? One can only hope and wait. Russ and Frank, the Dawn Patrols version of "Bert & Ernie" are counting to ten and learning their ABC's on custodial equipment as I write this as there is not much in waves to be cleaned this 'morn.

Daily Surf Report - 7/9/2013

Buenas dias vatos y cholas de surferos! It's foggy out here at the beach this morning and so quiet you could almost hear a mouse pass gas from the Stinson/Sea Drift side of the lagoon. It's 57 degrees and should warm up a bit later. No wind to speak of making it Windex glassy out here BUT... almost no surf to speak of either. Small to non-existent in each spot but once the tide turns around one never truly knows what the day can bring. I'll update right here if anything should change for the better.

 

 

 CHANNEL: A little bit of a swell attempting to show but it's almost knee high (but not quite) and it's in ankle deep water as the tide is WAY out. Sand bars are more visible than Janet Jackson's nipple at a Super Bowl halftime show. When the tide shifts gears later perhaps this spot may show something worth while. Two humanoids are out there now attempting to make it look like they are surfing before they have to stop and trudge off to their respective cubicles and go back to living the "Office Space" lifestyle. Let's hope that they don't have to move their desk again.... and they get to keep the red Swingerland stapler too.

PATCH: The Patch is really trying by letting knee-high slurpers grunt and wheeze around the Meeting Rock/Bulk Head/Rock before disappearing completely back under the oceans surface never to be heard from again. So, with the tide turnaround perhaps the good 'ol Patch will give you something later today instead of acting like Lucy and snatching the football away at the last second. No one here but a few gulls.

Daily Surf Report - 7/8/2013

 

Good morning humanoids who glide upon the brine! Another week is ahead of us and it's just flat-out great to be here! It's gray and overcast out here at the beach but the sun could make an appearance at any time. The temperature is slipping in at a fuzzy 57 degrees. Now, let's cut to the chase, shall we? There is an on-shore wind putting more pock marks on the water surface than Edward James Olmos has on his face. Wave size can be measured with a twelve inch school ruler and you wouldn't even have to use all of it. Yep. That small. If things change I'll be sure to post it up right here.

 

 

 

CHANNEL: It's resembling one aspect of Disney Land today... "It's A Small World After All." Couple this with a low, LOW tide where the sandbar looks like Gilligan's Island and the on-shore wind seems more suited to fly kites than surf. No one out but I didn't really need to say that, did I?

PATCH: The rocks at the Patch are out grinning their collective ding-inducing teeth. Teeny, six-to-eight inch rollers are slurping across this craggy territory and can't seem to even have the decency to at least pretend to break. Frank the lonely Pelican is out there sweeping up like a janitor at the end of a high school dance (cue music; "True" by Spandau Ballet).

The second day of the surf hangover in town continues with marginal conditions and a general disarray among most living humans.  Overcast, SW onshore winds, and a hunger for your fellow man...Zombie apocalypse in Bo-Town.  57 degrees and the sign of the beast, another morning to wash away your sins and hopefully survive the day, dreaming of glassy conditions, good waves, and no cannibalizing zombie brethren in sight.  Pray for surf...and your soul.

 

 

CHANNEL: Suit up and join the other three living dead out in the channel this morning...we've got ankle and knee biting zombies crawling around, pushing here and chasing there.  Some limbs akimbo might help you generate some speed to make a section, a piece or part here and there, and flee the scene of one subhuman amongst another, scratching and clawing for the morose waves that stir the craving hunger for tube flesh.

PATCH: The patch still resembles a zombie, mulling around muttering brains, brains, BRAINS.  Smack your head against the exposed rocks, reefs and urchins and donate some grey matter to your beloved underlayer of surf zone machinations.

Daily Surf Report - 7/6/2013

 

 

Its a weird day in town today. A thick awkwardness fills the air as everyone begins to wake up and realize all the things they did. Fog has followed close behind with a temp of 55*F. Turbulent seas are the evil spawn of the south westerly winds and it seems hard for everyone to shake off their morning cloud. No lamas are surfing this moment but three were getting suited up on the beach and the Lama -vs- Lama body surfing competition starts at 9:04 sharp. (No sheep allowed.)

 

 

CHANNEL: Sad and bad to the untrained eye. If you were a regular person, you might see an ankle high wave, ground to a pulp, which ends in moments. However, if you are getting as weird as I would like, than there are radical stormy sets that are just waiting for a brave enough soul to charge the impossible. No animals out yet. Be the barnyard brawler who makes the best of the conditions.

PATCH: Let us take a moment of silence for our fallen friend. It seems like just yesterday there was ample wave action to slip and slide or glide and ride. If only the patch was still with us, we could enjoy its playful sections and frolic in its shallows forever. RIP

Aftermath of a good town party this morning.  Plenty of debri to clean up and everyone should do their part.  Tear it all down then build it back up and move along.  Getting in the water today may be the cure for all ills this morning.   A day of morning sunshine and 58F with a breeze a bit SE.  Sideshore / onshore but has some grooming capabilities.  Grab a coffee and a longboard, pull on the damp wetsuit and keep the patriotism in check today. 

 

 

CHANNEL:  Still a left spinner working in the Channel on the outside bar.  We have low tide filling in and a high tide that is actually mid.  Shallow depths way outside which lets you know there is a workable sandbar in place.  Clear, glistening and sunny with waves to ride.  What more can you ask for today?  A pod of about 8 are on it and the Channel is the spot this morning.  Size looks to be waist high at best and shape is good.  A few glide-able / ride-able ones that will take you for a long ride.  Late morning Mali-BO rides may occur once the tide gets higher. 


PATCH:  Still relatively flat with a periodic ripple.  Knee high rights not looking too promising at this time but there is 1 NUPper on it today!  Join him for some water aerobics as you wait for the sets to arrive.  Take the paddle battle challenge and give your arms the workout they deserve.  Hook one up and skip freely to the nose for some Tip Time.  More water may be required for all the above to occur but the potential is endless.

Limited Holiday Hours: Closing 3pm for BBQ

 

Good morning and Happy Independence Day.  We have a full town bursting at the seams.  ALL parking spots are claimed by sleeping occupants.  We have unchained roaming pitbulls and motorcycles on the beach.  We have fireworks, explosions and early morning smoke coupled with beer and patriotism galore.  God bless America.  We also have a very calm weather morning with partial overcast and temp of 60F.  A bit humid again with sunshine just on the horizon.  Strap on your red / white / blue wetsuit and show the ocean some love.  Get some waves then relax with hot dogs and apple pie while the local festivities unfold.  It is a day you don't want to miss and being a participant is encouraged.

 

 

CHANNEL: Smooth glide-able fun waves outside in the Channel.  Mainly lefts with the occasional right and size goes almost waist high.  Water is very warm and the ocean is glassy.  Shaping up a bit as the tide fills in and definitely worth a dip.  A few of the better ones will run to the inside so grab your rail and head down the line.


PATCH: Flat with a periodic ripple.  Knee high rights not looking too promising at this time but the first surfer to jump in will have it ALL to themselves.  S swell is gone but keep an open ear for something calling your name.

10:45am Weather Update: Sun is out, 65*F

 

Calm morning for your yoga routine. Surfing may be a little harder to achieve. I'm seeing 4 or 5 janitorial surfers in the water trying to sweep up every little wave they see. On the bright side they have cleaned up the surface to a sheet of glass. Two dudes logging on at the groin but they are having little progress. They sky's are as gray as your high-school hallway but with a temperature of 61*f. Its warm and warming up with a good chance the gray will burn. Surf might be micro but it is rideable with a large board and a positive spirit.

 

 

CHANNEL: Calling it groin high, while sitting. Triple to quadruple over toe sets are do-able if you are a man of the strong paddle. Local seal populations are wild and free and love to show off their barrel rolls. Get your lily white skin under the sun and put some cross in your step.


PATCH: SUP jousting competition starts at high noon. Bets are welcome and there will be blood. Paddle sharpening will be happening around 9am sharp so don't be late. Sign up is $45 dollars and blood oaths will be taken. Surf is a powerful shin high which should make the battle even more or less interesting.
Overall it looks like a beautiful morning and good day to enjoy the quiet before the 4th.


PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. Respect the Beach.

I- phone found in ladies restroom yesterday. (7/1/13) Identify and pick up.

 

I'm a fat guy in a little coat this morning and peeved off at myself for not bringing a log. Small surf, but it is a wonderful, crisp, and clear morning in town today. Calmness levels are soaring. I'm feeling at least head high positivity sets and with a glowing anti- bad vibe shield, I can't see how the day could go wrong. 60*F this morning and promising to be another radical, warm day. Shine work, and love the summer while its here.

 

CHANNEL: A sexy knee to waist high left is giving the 5 riders in the water smiles from ear to ear. Party waves are prominent and multiple high fives were witnessed this morning. Cool and casual is the energy I'm getting from everyone out today. Big boards, big fun.

PATCH: One slimy, solo, slippery, swashbuckling pirate is out picking his or her nose and also any wave he or she choses. This saucy minx of a slider knows how to find enlightenment. I'm calling it calf to knee-ish high, and as playful as possible. Sets have a little fat man in them but start moving quick when they hit the inside. Re-populate the outside rock island with the one other courageous soul. 

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. Respect the Beach.

There is a beautiful morning in the palm of our hands. A whole lot of birds in the sky and a temperature of 58*F this morning. Not to mention calm conditions and a small pulse of the good stuff. I'm seeing wild long rides happening all over this beautiful beach and the morning sliders and riders could not be more happy. Air and water heat levels are on the up and up keeping all those sweet sun burns bright and beautiful. Over all its a radical Monday to spread some Aloha.

 

CHANNEL: Off the chain, with thigh to waist high plus lefts working almost to the sand. Only three seal-people looking for something and none are making the best of it. 2 or 3 makeable sections per wave are making this spot the ideal one. Any board can work and any amount of fun can be had.

PATCH: Rip-able, slid-able, nose-ride-able. Sets at knee to belly high with about 7 saltwater slippers giving a good effort. Long rights work all the way to the sand and no one is going wave-less. Grab an egg but as always, logging will birth more stoke in you.

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. Respect the Beach.

An important message from the Sandbar Conservation Coalition:
Attention all surfers and beach goers.  In an effort to help preserve and grow the current sandbar population in Bolinas we are asking you to please leave the sand on the beach.  Do NOT bring it all back on your wet wetsuits or stuck to the melted wax on your boards.  This sand ends up in the public sewer system and clogs drains.  It diminishes our vital surfing resource which are sandbars that form and groom waves.  Thank you for your prompt attention to this epidemic problem.

 

 

More heat inland for today and into Wednesday. 

 

Un-official temps recorded yesterday were records and are listed here:

Bolinas 92

Fairfax 118

San Rafael 120

Petaluma 119

Santa Rosa 135

Sacramento 151

 

Head to the beach for some relief and catch a few waves as well.  We have sunny skies and a morning temp of 60F with no wind to start the day.  A full parking lot already with plenty of surfers in the water and more coming.  S swell dropping but still out there in the water along with a bit of NW windswell.  Definitely waves to ride but smaller than in the past 2 days.  Morning tides are good and evening tides are better.   

 

 

CHANNEL:  Smaller but plentiful with thigh to almost waist high waves to ride at a few spots.  Outside Channel bar is set and hopefully will stay that way.  There are good lefts to ride there until the tide bottoms out.  Outgoing flow making it hard to stay on your spot but bring a longboard and be rewarded.  Inner Groin bar has waves as well that are smooth and thigh high.  Mali-BO and inside the Channel proper has some rideable rollers that will run for a while if you are in the right spot.  Water is warm and air is hot. 


PATCH: Scattered waves to ride with the S swell still showing and delivering a few waves to ride.  Not as consistent in between the sets but there are rights way outside and mid-way as well in the thigh high +.  Inside waves for the moment as the tide is still good.  Bring the trusty log and paddle out.

 

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. Respect the Beach.

HBD to WBT.  30 today.  Abide

 

Heat wave, frying eggs, killer bees and more on this hot-hot weekend.  Already 62F and warming.  Full sunshine and light N winds.  Still a bit of NW windswell and a diminishing S ground swell in the water.  A full parking lot already and lots of families heading to the beach.  Tide is heading low so get on it now.  Plenty to ride all over town today so bring your riding apparatus and get wet or swelter inland.

 

"The National Weather Service is warning residents from northern California, including Sacramento, all the way to southern Arizona of the possibility of intense heat through the weekend that could rival a 2005 heat wave that killed 17 people in the Las Vegas area.  Arizona and the California deserts seem to be in for the worst of it. Temperatures are forecast to rise as high as 122 degrees in California's Coachella Valley, as high as 129 in Death Valley and up to 118 in Phoenix.  Head to the beaches to get waves and cool off."

 

 

CHANNEL: A bit wonky as the tide drops and runs out of the lagoon.  Smooth conditions outside on the deeper Channel bar where there are waist high + waves breaking left.  A bit ripped up at the inner Groin bar due to the outgoing water movement.  The inside lefts up towards the Boat Ramp area are smooth, glassy, thigh high and empty.  That is where I would park my log and ride.  Expect sub-optimal water levels soon but the afternoon and evening sessions have had plenty of water and lots of waves as well.  Lots of body surfing opportunities as well. 


PATCH: Scattered waves to ride with S swell surf still lingering and rideable today.  Rights way outside and mid-way as well in the almost waist high size.  Inside waves at the Snags that are smooth and thigh high.  All fun stuff in the water so bring your big board and get a few.  Outgoing tide will get the rocks showing their teeth but the afternoon incoming tide will start up the carnival ride again.
