Daily Surf Report - 8/7/2013

 

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"There is no Devil, it's just God when he's drunk." -Tom Waits

 

Good morning wave explorers of all ages, sizes and odors. It's a bit drizzly out here at the beach this morning and though it's not really much in the world of rain we desperately need anything and everything pertaining to precipitation. Even less today in the watery undulation department but it is a bit warmer at 59 degrees and glassy as all get out. Today is the waiting game. The tide needs to come back in and it will be doing so post haste, HOWEVER a bit of a swell is also what is needed but like every president that has come down the pike in my time, it ain't delivering.

 

 

CHANNEL:  Right now the tide is way too low and the sand bars are exposed like Mark Weiner. One must wait until the tide comes back in and maybe, MAYBE with a big enough board you can glide, glide, glide. Three (3) impatient humanoid's are in the close-out, knee high breaking into 6" of water bouncing off of the bottom right now.

 

 

PATCH:  Glassy and fickle. The Patch is doing that grunting and groaning thing without really delivering any wave for which to slide upon. Thigh high at the Rock/Bulk Head/Meeting Rock which crumbles then disappears faster than a box of donuts at a fat camp. Maybe later.... maybe later in the week? One (1) janitor we call "The Pelican" out there right now cleaning up and polishing that turd.

Adult Surf Camp will be offered from August 12th to August 15th for $320 per person. Camp will last from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm and will include over 3 hours of instruction per day. Students will receive instruction on the beach and in the water and have the opportunity to surf both of the breaks in Bolinas in a range of tides and conditions. Adult Surf camps are the perfect way to quickly improve your surfing skills or learn the basics. Camp size is kept small (4 to 6 people) to ensure students receive the personal attention needed to improve. Advanced registration is required to attend and you can sign up HERE.  Surf equipment (board, wetsuit and boots) will be available to rent from the 2 Mile Surf Shop for your clinic and will be $50/day

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Be cool, dude. Don't harsh my buzz." -Barrett

 

Good morning everyone and welcome to another gray summer morning here at the beach. The temperature is slipping in at a cool but comfortable 56 degrees and again, no wind as of yet making the water surface glassy and shinier than Michael Jordan's head. The tiny drawback here is that the little swell we had as done up and left.... pretty much. Janitorial gear or the time to wait out the low tide with a HUGE board could make the difference between gliding at the Channel or working on your resume.  

 

 

CHANNEL:  Exposed sand bars. Yes, the tide is sagging lower than a wannabe gangsta from Larkspur's pants. There is a teeny knee (+/-) wave trying to break on the outside but there isn't really too much push today. Again, with the incoming tide, the sand bars eventually becoming covered there may be a little something-something later today. BIG boards could be the answer. No one here yet as I write this.

 

 

PATCH:  Glassy as the eyes of a blond dreaded, Fairfax 'Trustafarian' after a huge bong rip of the NorCal sticky-icky BUT the waves are very small and generally dissipate into the murky abyss. Long period waits as these little teasers start inside of the Rock/Bulk Head/Meeting Rock at knee (+/-) and either crumble towards the exposed rocks or just go away. Maybe later when the tide recedes but don't hold your breath. Only Russ on his SUP there today searching for waves and for the meaning of life. Sail on, Sailor.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Life is simple, we insist on making it complicated." -Confucius / Barrett

 

Good day and happy Monday to all of you purveyors of the slide and glide. It's yet another summer gray morning here at the beach. The temperature is bopping somewhere in the neighborhood of 56 degrees and for the moment there isn't even a morsel of wind anywhere. It's all glassy for that Windex shine. Small swell still lingering in the H2O so bring the big Rosanne Barr stick and slide the day away. 

 

 

CHANNEL:  The tide is filling in like my neighbor Vicki did between 7Th and 8Th grades. The bars look groomed to support what bit of swell is still in the water. Waist (+/-) over the outside middle bar going left and right to Sea Drift. The Groin Pole has some very tasty lefts that look absolutely stellar for the body surfer of the hand plane kind. Grab a large log and smile. One (1) person here as I write this.

 

 

PATCH:  There is still a little bit of swell visiting us here in town and the Patch is trying to hold on. Outside of the Meeting Rock/Bulk Head/Rock there is a waist (+/-) slipping through. Not always clean and naturally you'll have loooooooooooooonnng waits between sets but that'll give you time to catch up on world politics, BART strike debates and discuss steroid use in Major League baseball. Ten (10) humanoids on logs and custodial gear bobbing and waiting.

Daily Surf Report - 8/4/2013

 

 

4 fried chickens and a coke please.  Oh and a side of dry white toast.  The breakfast of surfing champions.  Stuff you face full and prepare for a nice long day in the water.  We have an overcast and moist morning.  Dead calm.  Glassy ocean.  Surfers love this weather especially when a new SW swell is starting to show its teeth and fill in today.  Temp is 55F and who cares if the sun comes out.  Strap on that damp suit and charge it today as surf's up amigo. 

 

 

CHANNEL:  Low tide starting to fill in and will have adequate water levels to support waves all day.  Afternoons and evenings have had waist high + surf and plenty of peaks all over the area.  Most boards will work but longboards will rule the outside bar.  Right now we have thigh high lefts in the Channel and a few small rights trying to push into Mali-BO.  Also the bar right in front is still good for the body surfer or boogie board enthusiast.  Post up here if you want small but zippy inside waves or want to take the high performance log out for a spin.  Swell direction of 220 degrees will get in here today. 

 

 

PATCH:  The Patch loves a S swell and is happy today.  Good long period swell giving us outside waves in the waist high + range.  Needs a bit more water to get cleaned up and really working well but wind is nil and tide is marching in and will be good throughout the entire day.  About 10 in the water on logs and SUPs and this will be the most consistent spot today.  A few rocks showing but soon to be under water.

Daily Surf Report - 8/3/2013

 

 

Grizzled morning with fog on the deck enveloping us in a misty blanket.  Gives us glassy conditions as the swell fades to oblivion.  The surf community becomes taciturn, waiting for the next pulse from Mother Ocean.  Fear not as there are still smooth, yet small waves to ride and Poseidon is brewing up another dose of S swell scheduled to arrive tonight!  No wind at this time and temp is 55F.  Sun is coming and yesterday was warm and fine overall.  Tides are favorable and summer is in full swing so turn that frown upside down and come out to the beach for the day. 

 

 

CHANNEL:  Small Channel lefts in the thigh high size but still shapely and rideable. Put the fish away and pull out the longboard today.  Better yet, strap on some fins and a hand plane and body surf the inside bars.  Learn from the masters as 2 seals are frolicking about and giving tips to those wise enough to pay attention - I did. Incoming tide may give that extra push to help out while we wait for the next swell to arrive.  Plenty of beach and lots of sand to set up camp on.

 

 

PATCH:  Decreasing is size but still log-able.  Mid-way and inside rights can be ridden and size is thigh +.  Great day for beginners and enthusiasts alike.  Decent lulls between wave bursts but un-crowded at the moment.  Tide coming up and all rocks will soon be covered. 

Adult Surf Camp will be offered from August 12th to August 15th for $320 per person. Camp will last from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm and will include over 3 hours of instruction per day.

Daily Surf Report - 8/2/2013

 

 

Fog is in - wind is not.  Smooth and glassy with S swell remnants still pouring through.  Skies will clear shortly and sun will be out in full force.  Expect mid-warm temps most all the day - currently 56F.  Bring the family and the big board and spend a day at the beach.

 

 

CHANNEL:  Still has plenty of smooth and glide-able lefts to ride and on the deeper bar longboards are most appropriate.  Inside of the Groin pole towards the boat ramp is a pitting little left about waist high that spins and runs and will get and egg of Simmons going.  Tide still filling in so get on it!

 

 

PATCH:  Smaller surf but still lots to ride.  Pop up peaks in the almost waist high range about mid-way towards the meeting rock.  Inside rights are good and fast with explosive beach exits if you don't kick out.  Bring the log and ride the glide.

Daily Surf Report - 8/1/2013

 

 

Welcome to August and we are greeted with sunshine, no wind, temp of 57F and a S swell.  Rejoice in the magic of summer.  Nice when things like tide and weather and swell all come together to  give you that California surfer day.  Buoys still showing 3.3' @ 15 secs from 186 degrees.  A bit steep but the Patch loves it and the Groin is feeling a bit as well.  Get you wave riding vehicles waxed up and hit the beach today for some pleasurable waves.

 

 

CHANNEL:  Lefts in the Channel best suited for longboards and coming in around waist high.  Not the perfect swell direction but some filter through and the rides are long.  Groin bar and towards the boat ramp has almost waist high spinning, golden lefts that will get the Simmons / fish / egg into top speed.  Little hollow pits to pull into and zip along towards shore on.  Get it before tide gets too fat.

 

 

PATCH:  Lots of rollers and peaks abound here this morning.  Mid-way and towards the inside is breaking consistently and waist high +.  Tide filling in so the way outside is holding back a bit but sets will break out the back and those rides are long.  Bring the loggy log and ride baby ride.  Tide will be good here all day.

 Its a magical day today. Humans, fish-people, Mermaids, and all aquatic creatures rejoice! Tide is up, wind is down, and the surf is up. Air temp is a sweet sweet 56*F and the wind is a very sensual and very light sou-westerly. Six creatures are in the water now and I'm seeing surf in the waist to Chest high range; relative to humans. The Buoys are reading 4ft at 15sec so grab your quiver and come enjoy the local wildlife. 

 

CHANNEL:  Finger licking waist to chest high with three friends in the water now. Everyone is getting something and every board may be experimented with today. High tide is making the water a little chubby but there are long rides to be had.

 

PATCH:  I'm calling it human Knee to human belly high with rides from almost at the meeting rock, all the way to the sand. I'm talking 'bout love. Nose ridding love, knee boarding love, body surfing love and much much more. Go get a section of love for yourself.

EARLY CLOSE today, CALL in advance.

 

There is a beautiful morning calm today with an air temp of 56*F and a very light sou-westerly wind. Calling it knee to thigh high with no one out yet. Over all its looking a little chunky with the high tide, but there are plenty of ride-able sets at both spots.

The ocean is a forever changing. Wind, tide, swell, etc. are all factors that need to be taken into consideration when entering the sea. Conditions WILL change as the day progresses so be ready for anything and come out only if you bring a positive attitude. Have respect for the ocean and the people around you, and you WILL have fun. 

 

CHANNEL:  Thigh high lefts in front of the sign are very do-able and are going un-ridden. There is a current pulling out of the lagoon and no one is out at this time. An egg is sure to get you surf here but bring a log to really tickle your fancy. Be the first out and choose your wave.

 

PATCH:  Sets are looking to be in the knee high range and a few rocks are popping up throughout. Run the slalom coarse with your biggest board. Lower tide will kill anything growing in the patch so hurry hurry or wait it out. Two other water bathing, ripple riders are headed out now and waiting for you.

Adult Surf Camp will be offered from August 12th to August 15th for $320 per person. Camp will last from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm and will include over 3 hours of instruction per day.

Daily Surf Report - 7/29/2013

Doors CLOSING @ 5:00 today. 

 

 Its Christmas in July, but sadly, there are no presents under the tree. Crisp, Christmas weather is showing up in town. Gray skies and an air temp of 57* has socked in Bolinas nice and tight. No one woke up early to spread the Christmas aloha, but a positive attitude could bring you some surfing joy this morning.

 

CHANNEL:  Small and messy is the name of the game today, but a big board may do the trick. Waist to possibly belly high sets are rolling in but are being ripped apart like wrapping paper due to the current coming out of the lagoon. There are some surf-able sections for a big enough board and a keen enough eye. 

 

PATCH:  Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is a clean south swell. I really do appreciate the surf I have been given but as you know knee high mush does get tiring. I offer my soul and 1,000 dollars cash money to you in return for the previously mentioned surf.
PS, Please cut off the slight onshore this morning. Thanks
                                                                                Sincerely, Jeff Spicoli

Daily Surf Report - 7/28/2013

 

 

Bolinas is so fickle.  So tide and swell dependent.  So willing to change and change again throughout the day, delivering all types of surf at different spots. Yesterday was a perfect example - nothing doing in the early am / Patch working throughout the mid-day into evening before getting swamped out / Channel and Mali-Bo doing its thing in the afternoon / evening session rights at the Groin and even out front.  Waves all over if you take the time to find them.  If you want to roll out here in your monster SUV, loaded with shortboards in an agro style you will always be disappointed.  Come out chill, with some time on your hands.  Bring the family and a few pieces of surf gear.  Enjoy the beautiful drive and take in some scenery.  You will always end your day with a smile. 

 

Overcast and misting - as per Summer.  56F now with sun and mild temps coming later.  No wind.  The S swell is still active and coughing out the last bits of surf for you today.  Watch your tides and pick your spots accordingly. 

 

 

CHANNEL:  Tide draining but not too low this morning giving this spot the ability to work throughout the day.  Right now the deeper bar has rideable lefts in the waist high size and a small crew of about 8 are on it.  Might be the same group that surfed it last night as it was working then too.  Groin area is getting low but still supporting knee high left zippers probably best for boogie board and body surfers this morning.  Incoming tide had delivered all week.

 

 

PATCH:  Small this morning and lulls between the sets.  Mid-way has rollers in the thigh high zone and they come in small bunches as is the way S swells work here.  1 lonely SUP out there now.  Paddle out and let him know he has a friend.  Afternoons with more tide pushed the waves out past the meeting rock.

Daily Surf Report - 7/27/2013

 

 

Again we start with overcast skies and coastal cloudiness.  Sun was out by 11am yesterday and today looks to be the same conditions.  Temp a bit cooler at 55F but no wind at the beach.  Still have some decent S swell in the water but the angle is steeper today. The tide is dropping quickly so water levels will not hold waves for too much longer.  Afternoons have been good once the tide fills back in.  Bring a big board and have some time on your hands and you will be rewarded with waves at some point.

 

 

CHANNEL:  Tide heading low but still some water and waves to ride this morning.  Small lefts in the Channel that are thigh high + and will break and run along towards the inside.  Soon to be over once the tide bottoms out but incoming tide has produced waves during the later parts of the day.  Some fun body surfing waves right out front of the boat ramp as well.

 

 

PATCH:  Not feeling it today as good as yesterday.  Steeper swell angle may be part of the cause.  Long lulls between sets but waves will show up outside the meeting rock.  Rights rolling in about thigh / waist high.  Have a log?  Bring it to the Patch and ride waves today.

Drizzle, mist, overcast, coastal cloudiness.  We have a little bit of all here this morning in beautiful West Marin.  Relatively windless and temp 58F.  Sun was out by noon yesterday but today may be a different story.  Dropping tide and dropping S swell makes things fickle today.  Some spots are working now and others will work later.  Bring a big board and have some time on your hands and you will be rewarded with waves at some point.

 

 

CHANNEL:  Ripped to shreds by the dropping tide.  Swirling water over exposed sandbars makes for interesting viewing but no surfing at this time.  Empty lineup and rightfully so.  Again the micro spinning left showing us the potential for this spot when conditions are right.  Wait for incoming tide later today and give it another look. 

 

 

PATCH:  Way outside past the meeting rock there are waves.  Waist high slow rollers good for the log, SUP or NUP.  Dropping tide may shut it down soon but there are about 8 surfers out there now enjoying the morning session.  Afternoons have had positive feedback here when water levels are higher.

It all starts with a little belief in miracles.  Good morning and welcome to another summer day in Nor Cal.  Overcast but windless.  Temp at 57F and sun will eventually come out to warm things up.  The tide is bottoming out now but will return without fail by late morning and stick with us into the afternoon.  A S swell is out there and the angle is good but water is required for it to show off.

 

 

CHANNEL:  Low tide morning has it drained out and ripped up.  Lots of swirling water around the sandbars and a spinning, draining left that is reeling in 6" of water.  Wave is perfect but ocean conditions are not.  Expect massive improvement later in the day as water levels rise and swell gets to appear. 

 

 

PATCH:  Too low for the Patch right now.  Knee high rollers not quite breaking but the low tide is the cause.  Let the water levels rise and the surf will come with it.  Patience is a virtue and key today to maximize your stoke. Empty lineup as it should be with these conditions.

Good morning all of you purveyors of the brine. It's a foggy morning here at the beach with the temperature coming in at a misty 57 degrees without a bit of wind (thus far). The tide is out but rambling back in and even though the Channel isn't producing anything right now the Patch is trying to show off and grab your attention by tossing a few bones our way on the outside. If you do come out, a log with some volume to it may do the trick.

 

 

CHANNEL: Again, this morning low tide is draining the lagoon like 2008 did our savings and with this low tide the sand bars are exposed like a steroids scandal. Fear not, as yesterday by about midday this place was 'a firing. So, go back to bed, go back to work, go back to where ever you go back to and then come back later and give it a check as you may be surprised!

 

PATCH: Again, the Patch is trying to gleam through the fog like the surfers beacon of hope. Waist (+/-) are slopping through the (way) outside and since there is no wind (yet) the conditions are classy and glassy. Grab the big board and log in the fog! One (1) humanoid out there enjoying the solitude.

UPDATE! Things have cleaned up a bit at both the Channel and the Patch. Get a big board and go!

 

 

Good morning denizens of all things aquatic. It's another gray day here at the beach with the temperature sneaking in at 59 degrees, though the sun has been coming out later in the mornings. There is no wind to speak of yet and a bit of a swell (emphasis on "bit" as in "small") trying to pump something through. The tide is far too low at the Channel (as the sand bars are opening their trench coats and exposing themselves) but the Patch is showing a bit of a roller on the outside. Could turn out to be a grand day indeed.

 

 

CHANNEL: WAAAAAY too low right now but with the incoming tide and the way those sand bars look all groomed and such it "could" be an eventful day in the middle of the Channel a bit later on today. The password here today is; Patience.

 

PATCH: It looks waist (+/-) outside of the Meeting Rock/Bulk Head/Rock and even Green/Africa is demonstrating a bit of a pop if you feel like paddling over for a bit of a safari. As the tide fills in and if the wind can hold off this may be the call. Four (4) out now on logs. Two (2) trying and failing at inside Mystos. David & Hank heading outside the Bulk Head to where the action is. Ride 'em cowboys!

Daily Surf Report - 7/22/2013

 

Good morning you surferos del mar. It's a funky, like a bowl legged monkey Monday morning here with sloppy and choppy surf. The temperature is rumbling in at a cool-ish 58 degrees, overcast and gray and there is this pesky on-shore breeze that's not helping to improve the surf one iota. Hopefully later in the day this wind will die down some, the sun will come out and we could have some shiny little gems rolling and lolling along just how you like 'em. Until then.....

 

CHANNEL: It's waist high (+/-) crumble-bums that occasionally will roll but not at any consistent level yet. With this on-shore and the tide still way out (but coming back up) it looks like it'll be more of a waiting game here this morning. Two (2) humanoids out now just trying to stay in position... for what, no one knows but them. Shine on, you crazy diamonds.

 

PATCH: Trying to work something out side of the Rock/Bulk Head/Meeting Rock but it's long waits for above waist high, ugly mutants that section and then disappear to whence they came from. maybe later today but this on-shore wind and goofy swell direction(s) is making it anything but enjoyable. Three (3) desperate souls out there now that are clearly.... desperate.

Its a cranky day in town today with un-favorable conditions. An unhappy on-shore flow is blowing today and surf is in the small to small range. Average thigh high sets are moving in today with a current temp of 55*F. Gray skies are dominating at this time but have a distinct possibility of clearing up later in the day. Its a crisp and beautiful way to start the day.

 

CHANNEL: Knee to waist high close outs popping up all over the place. No one out today, and a not so happy texture is making this spot not-so surf-able. Shake off that morning glum and hit the water. Possible lefts in front of the sign may be had but are few and far in between.

 

PATCH: One Janitorial surfer on it this morning. Knee high and slow is the call today. A big board will be the key as not much is showing itself. Some rocks are ready to weave around but mostly you will be going strait.

HAKA HAKA!!!  Holy Saturday Dance Fight Wave Slayers.
It's another Saturday out here in Bolinas and the parking lot is already brimming with wild eyed, drooling surfer types, scratching to get into their wet wetsuits that they forgot to dry out last nite, sandy asses and all.  Rumors of the south swell have undoubtedly made it back to the pentagon, and the secret service is out there with the el jefe in the mar this morning.  The wind is not great right now, slight on shore, creating texture and bump, but swell is filtering regardless.  If it turns around today, the NW could groom it up, or maybe if the janitors get out there to sweep it into a pile...

 

CHANNEL: About knee high to waist, flip flopping through the middle out there.  About 10 guys on it at present, tide is filling in and if the wind switches and swell continues to fill in we could see some bi-polar vast improvement from the morning sickness that it has now......but we'll have to wait and see. 

 

PATCH: Knee to about waist at present, with about 30 people spread out all along the whole patch reef and beyond.  They must know something we don't as it looks like a buoy convention on the way outside past the meeting rock.  Grab a log and slip and slide through all of your buddies chatting with their coffee and tea in the line up this morning, cliff and wall dwellers need not apply.
