Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"You can be as mad as a mad dog about the way things went. You can swear and curse the fates; but when it comes to the end, you have to let go." -Benjamin Button


 Ghost fog has moved in and mellowed everything out. Crazy wild and small waves are snaking in out of the white oblivion. Its a chilly 57*F out accompanied by a not so heavy crowd. The earth has brought us a silent day for some much needed recollection and adjustment to our priority list. Enjoy the calm and the small bit of surf that we have.

CHANNEL: Paddle out into the unknown and meet the one solitary surfer out there for a free palm reading and energy cleansing. Knee to waist high lefts are coming out of this other dimension un-ridden and unconquered. Be the second brave soul to charge the unknown and learn the secret of being.

 

PATCH: Lost at sea and invisible to the naked eye. Gather your most powerful pieces of meteorite and open your third eye. Surf isn't looking like anything as there is nothing but a large white canvas shrouding your hopes and dreams. Paint a beautiful picture on this wall o' fog and pray its slightly bigger than flat.

UPDATE: Closing Early, CALL in advance. Wax on, wax off. The sun comes, and the sun goes.

 

Listen up all the mothers, brothers, huggers, muggers, sluggers, and shruggers I have a surf report for you on this beautiful bobo morning. It is a toasty 61*F this calm and collective morning with not a lot of surf and plenty of good feelings. No wind, no chop, just a sheet o' glass today. Sweeping SUP-ers are getting the most of it, so if you have a lot of foam, bring it on.

 

CHANNEL:  Two of the Bolinas janitorial staff surfers are the only ones out and reaping the bounty of this ankle high day. Lake is the name of the game today. Be inventive and give that alternative craft a dust off. Lunch tray body boarders will receive bonus points for being stoked. 

 

PATCH: Pancake flippin' flat. No more, no less.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Happiness resides not in possessions, not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul." - Democritus

18'000 sec. UPDATE: the slippery, sexy, swami of a sun doesn't know how he is feeling. In and out.. in and out...

80 min. UPDATE:  the fog has moved back in like the wayward prodigal son...put some Kansas on, maybe watch Fletch, get weird...

10 Min. UPDATE: the golfers fog this morning is starting burn off, like the double jointed leprechaun, and the pot of gold in the sky may start shining any minute...

Calm and spiritual out there with a little swash of sensual swell, and an air temp of 62*F this foggy, spectacular, Sunday morning. Shaka throwers, peace bringers, and weekend warriors are all wandering the streets aimlessly in their suits looking for the surf on this gray day. If you can skip your way to the sand and enter the mist, your going to have a good day. Put your fun hats on, we're on our way.

CHANNEL:  Sailors, pirates, divers, donut dunkers and surfers all can get some of it today. Ample wave selection and sections are probable if you have a big board. Sets in the ankle to thigh high range and plenty of positive people drinking it in.

 

 

PATCH: Rocks, Rocks, rocks, rOCks, ROcks, RocKs. At the patch today I am viewing rocks. Surf is possible, but not probable until the tide fills in. Keep an eye out and feel the probability increase.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”  -  Robert Louis Stevenson


Most beautiful of mornings here in West Marin.  Full sunshine to start our day, no wind and temp is 58F.  We still have morning low tide that needs to fill in and a bit of S swell still kicking around providing the occasional rideable but small wave.  Flux capacitors are operational keeping all sharks away and the Fitzer valve is open as well.  Looks to be a great beach day and there may be a wave or two to ride as well. 

CHANNEL:  Low tide just hitting bottom so a bit churned up.  Has potential to work on the incoming tide but needs an hour or so for more water.  A group of surfers on the wall willing it to work so add you positive thoughts and go with the crystal and be rewarded with waves.  Currently no one in the water. 

 

 

PATCH: Exposed rocks and flat conditions.  Hoping that more water and the little bit of S will translate into a positive vibration culminating with waves to surf.  Will need more time to see of this happens.  In the meantime wax up the log just in case.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.”  -  Milton Berle


Potential Pulses on the horizon.  Still seeing some signs of S swell on buoys and now in the water as well.  Very long intervals between waves and low tide not helping at all but little bits are starting to show.  Light overcast with sun starting to show.  Windless with a morning temp of 57F.  We had sun most of the day after the cloud burn-off.  No shark sightings at Stinson since Monday evening and nothing seen at Bolinas all week.  If the waves materialize it could be a nice weekend of surf.

CHANNEL:  Smooth ocean surface and low tide.  Plenty of sandbars exposed and no waves due to no water.  Empty line up. Maybe later?

 

 

PATCH: Exposed rocks and flat conditions.  Way, way out in Greene Africa there are signs of surf and 2 intrepid explorers are out there now.  2 surfers suiting up in the lot as well.  Not much going on but enough to make you put a wetsuit on.  IF the S swell is out there it will show here best and first so we will keep an eye out for something when the tide fills in.  Late morning / early afternoon are hopeful times.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Still round the corner there may wait, a new road or a secret gate. ”

 JRR Tolkien

Grim times and looooww tides.  Lots of exposed sand bars, rocks, nooks nad crannies to explore this morning.  Overcast and dry with no wind and a temp of 60F.  Perfect weather conditions if we had more water and some swell. A few signs of optimism on the buoys but won't translate to waves until the tide really fills in.  No signs of the man in the grey suit either so game on - if there are waves. 

CHANNEL:  Bottomed out low tide giving us sand to view and no waves to ride.  Some signs of a new steep S swell in the water but not showing here at this time.  Empty line up.

 

 

PATCH: Exposed rocks and flat conditions.  IF the S swell is real it will show here best and first so we will keep an eye out for something when the tide fills in.  Late morning / early afternoon are hopeful times.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Sometimes you eat the bar-sometimes the bar eats you." -Sam Elliot from The Big Lebowski

Good morning practitioners of the slide! It's yet another slate gray and drizzly summer morning here at the beach. The temperature is a balmy 59 degrees and the on-shore wind has backed off a bit. Still no swell to be found but hey, it's summer in Bo. Remember, this is all temporary and things will change...they ALWAYS do. The only thing in the water right now is the lifeless body of an adult seal washing up in front of the Pilings/Play Pen. Terrific....

CHANNEL:  Low tide. Not much of a swell. Maybe later with the tide change? maybe not? I'll post if anything happens.

 

 

PATCH: Nothing here but broken dreams and busted fin boxes.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Boy, sometimes you gotta' eat a lot of sh*t before you know what a sirloin tastes like." -my grandpa

Good morning everyone to another gray and drizzly summer morning here at the beach. Yes, as crude as the inspirational quote may be to some of the folks with delicate sensibilities it rings true for today as one must pay their dues before they can appreciate the finer things. With a temperature slinking in at 59 degrees and a pretty strong on-shore wind it's looking pretty crummy out there right now. Here's where you're paying the dues because as surfers we all know days like these come along BUT they also go away and then that day arrives where the glassy emerald green slide inducers arrive and you are ready for the sirloin.

CHANNEL:  Lumpy and bumpy (not the name of a vaudeville comedy team) that if one were to actually go out you may get a 10 to 20 yard ride with a board big enough for separate zip codes. Not much of a swell combined with a very strong on-shore = no bueno. No one out.

 

 

PATCH: No breaking waves here. In fact, there isn't enough swell for the Patch to break wind today. On-shore winds and a creepy oil/gasoline slick coming in between the Play Pen/Pilings and the Green/Graffiti wall makes my skin crawl. No one here either.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Ill let you be in my dream if I can be in yours." -Bob Dylan

Today is a beautiful day in town. WE have clear skies and an air temp of 59*F. Today I would like everyone to stop, take a deep breath, and think. Think about why you paddle out, why you surf, and why you do anything. Take a moment to appreciate the place you are and the people you are with. Not much in the wave department and a slight texture to the waters surface. Not a perfect surf day but it still can be a perfect day. Give out a few hugs and if your coming to the beach, bring a positive vibe.

CHANNEL:  All bits, snips, rips with not to many lips. Surf is about ankle to knee high and no one in the water. Bumpy, but with a big board, you can have the best micro bumpy ride of your life. Its a day for a peaceful paddle and some much needed solitude.

 

 

PATCH: Stubbed toes make some sad bros as its looking shallow and barely breaking. Tide is on its way in so keep an eye out but don't count out this patch for your surfing harvest today.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Your present circumstances don't determine where you go, only where you start." -Nido Qubein

Its a sweet and sour day inn town. Sweet people, a sweet morning and sweet feelings are sadly accompanied but some sour skies and sour seas. The wind gods must have taken some Viagra last night as there is a not so flaccid south wind smacking everything around. Surf is bumpy and barely breaking and the air temp is at 57*F.

CHANNEL:  Seeing a small crew of paddle pushers and log rollers trying for everything but with little luck. Surf looks about knee to thigh high with a mild serving of white caps. Head out and make the best of this harsh day.

 

 

 

PATCH: The sheep are out to pasture and white caps are grazing through the whole rock patch today. No surfers out and an equal number of rideable waves. go for a bumpy paddle and be positive.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:

"The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun"
- Duke Kahanamoku


It is  sunny, clear, calm and beautiful this morning.  Current temp is 58F and it is warming up nicely.  I've got my crystal decoder / mood ring on and it is reading a teal green which has me in an aquatic frame of mind.  A ray of hope on the horizon and in the water as small BUT rideable waves can be found today.  Little bit of S swell starting to trickle up the coast and today is a day you can get wet and stand on a surfboard. 

 

CHANNEL:  A few rolling through in the Channel and clocking in at knee to thigh high in size.  Longboard-able is a YES so pull out something 9.0' or bigger and take a dip.  Weather is fantastic an incoming tide push may be just the ticket to get some better waves today.  3 are in the water and a few more suiting up as it is enticing today in comparison to the earlier part of the week.

 

 

PATCH: Relatively flat with a very occasional inside right.  Knee high + in size but enough water there to keep the rocks at bay.  Keep you eye and heart open to change here and let the crystals guide you to Mother Ocean.  Good tide heights all day.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:

“In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.”
 - Theodore Roosevelt


It is calm as a crystal and twice as glassy.  Overcast but warm with early morning temp of 62F.  Sun working its way through the clouds and should be here soon.  Expecting warmth through the weekend.  Small and meager surf continues as we wait out this summer flat spell.  Use the power and positive energy of the crystal to channel positive vibes towards  Nereus, Proteus, Glaucus and Phorkys.  These are minor sea gods but at this point a little bit of surf will go a long way. 

 

CHANNEL:  Mostly shore break ankle slappers with no real surf to ride.  A minor uptick was seen in the Channel as a breaking wave in the knee high + range rolled through.  1 surfer has been enticed out to the lineup and is now waiting for the next wave to appear.  A nice positive outlook and maybe our prayers will soon be answered.  Calm and peaceful if you want to get wet.  Getting in the ocean will always change the outlook of your day.

 

 

PATCH: Continues to be flat.  Tide is coming in and there might be something on the inside Snags later in the day but for now bring the SUP or kayak for best results.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:

"Go out to the rock.
Take out of the medicine bag the crystal that matches the crystal in Tamalpais.

And if your heart is not true
if your heart is not true
when you tap the rock in the clam patch
a little piece of it will fly off 

and strike you in the heart
and strike you dead. "

 - Miwok Indian proverb from early 1900s

Sunny and already warm at 64F.  No wind and also a flat ocean.  No surf to speak of whatsoever today.  Flat as far and wide as the eye can see.  Great day for sand castles and swimming, gardening or biking, book reading or errands, paying bills or fixing dings.  It is truly a gloriously, beautiful day even if the waves are not cooperative. 

 

CHANNEL: Flat and Flat.  Ankle bone.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:

“ Man plans, God laughs. ”
—  my mom.

Good morning to all of you on this gloriously beautiful hump day! It's about 54 degrees as the sun is out and the birds are singing in the key of Eva Cassidy and there isn't even the smallest morsel of wind about.... nor is there any surf. However, it's still a bee-u-tee-ful day out which means one could spend the day at the beach lounging about or go hiking but basically just flat-out enjoy this weather while we have it.  

 

CHANNEL: Knee high to a bol-weevil with not much else happening. Weather-wise it's a wonderful day out and maybe later this spot could kick in a little undulation for which one may slide upon. Until then, enjoy the weather! One (1) janitor sweeping up waaaaaaay over by Sea Drift going straight for several yards then..... nuthin'.

 

 

PATCH: Flat as a pool table and twice as green. Maybe later....?

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“ Life's more amusing than we thought. ”
— Andrew Lang.

Its a chill day with chilly conditions. Gray skies and an air temperature of 57*f. I spent the last 4 hours aligning the shop crystal collection and meditating on the surf but alas, my efforts were in vain. Surf is a microscopic ankle to calf, and looking not so clean. Two positive ladies headed out now, and no one is following. Polish your crystal ball and look for a hopeful future. However imperfect the conditions may be, entering the ocean always delivers a beautiful day.

 

CHANNEL: I have an apology to make. While trying reason with Zeus and create east winds, I bumped my magic orb and made a slight south-easterly. I know it was reckless of me but I tried my best. The channel is small and bumpy with not many sections to be ridden but plenty of strait lines to be drawn if you have a big board.

 

 

PATCH: Un-crowded, yet consistently un-rideable. I'm seeing rocks with rocky sets breaking on rocks. I'm no spiritual leader, but I'm seeing very spiritual possibilities here. Find the crystal in the rock-bed and be positive.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“There are plenty of crystals in the world to save our souls.” - Anonymous

Possibly Closing Early today, CALL in advance. 

Its as calm as a crystal out there today but not nearly as clear. Foggy skies have enveloped our tiny little town and brought along a sheet o' glass ocean surface. 57*f this morning will sure to enhance your senses and arise the crystal in your heart. Mid low tide isn't very spectacular for the surf but with a pocket full of shinning gems, and heart full of shinning feelings you will have fun. 

 

 

CHANNEL: The sand bars are floating around on the surface but there is a ride-able knee to thigh high pulse cascading under 7 wave hunters rip-sticks. Sets are breaking way out there and every one is in a mood that feels good. Super glue your strongest double terminated tabular point crystal to your board and get some waves.

 

 

PATCH:  Some say I have gone off the deep end, but I say, "No way dude, tides to low and most of the patch is a rock bed." Ankle high bits and pieces are bumping around in an inch or two of water. High tide is the only option today for this spot but with more water far less toes will be stubbed.

Daily Surf Report - 8/11/2013

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”- Ralph Waldo Emmerson

SUN has arrived!! 
No wind and temp is 57F.  Should see sun as overcast is high and there are spots trying to burn through.  Still meager surf offerings as small swell conditions and low tide are in play right now.  Afternoons have been loggable and weather has been nice so the beach may be the place to spend your Sunday.

 

 

CHANNEL:   Fully exposed sand bars this morning as peak LOW tide occurs.  Only 2 surfers currently in the water and the surf does look better than yesterday which means it is rideable on the outside Channel bar with a longboard.  Size is thigh high but the left has a bit of shape and can be ridden.  More water with the incoming tide can only help so giddy up and get wet.   Inside Groin left is a work of perfection yet only 1' in height.  Peels and reels for 100 yards but not enough juice to get a surfboard going.  Nice to watch and mind-surf it.  Seals and pelicans out and about in force.

 

 

PATCH:  Shallow conditions and rocky as well.  Small inside right working on the sandy side of things and knee high in size.  2 are in the water and more will follow.  Incoming tide throughout the day will give this spot potential for cruisable waves.  Keep an open eye and mind today and come to the Patch.  Bring the BIGGEST board.

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:
"Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start." - Nido Quebin

 

Calm, overcast and peaceful morning in beautiful West Marin.  Temp is 59F and sun should be out mid-morning with mild temps as well.  Very smooth and nearly flat ocean today.  What little S swell is out there seems to be missing us this time.  It is still a nice beach day and waves will pop up from time to time so surfing is still a possibility.

 

 

CHANNEL:   Fully exposed sand bars this morning as peak LOW tide occurs.  A congregation of surfers and SUPs in a tight pack on the Channel bar.  If I could only be a fly on the wall right now.  Not much surfing going on but probably lots of interesting conversations.   1 knee high left came through that was attacked by all.  Much more tide is required and may help but that wont be until later today.  BIG board is most necessary.  Or communicate with nature and throw your cares and gear away.  Hit the inside bars with the seals and learn to swim and body surf with the masters. 

 

 

PATCH:  Smooth and glassy and lake-like.  Nearly flat with a very small and very inside right in the calf high size being surfed by 3 in the water.  Plenty of exposed rocks this morning but more tide and the potential for the S swell to show keeps hope alive.  Check it later when the tide fills in.  Bring the BIGGEST board.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller

 

Overcast, coastal cloudiness starts today with morning temp of 57F and very calm conditions.  Sun is a mystery right now but yesterday it was out early and in full force.  No wind and super smooth ocean.  By super smooth we also mean flat.  Just localized wind swell right now but potential S swell hope is on the buoys and may be on the way up.  Bring a big board and a positive attitude and you can ride waves with the seawall crew today.

 

 

CHANNEL:   Fully exposed sand bars right now yielding non-surfable conditions.  Almost knee high lefts breaking in almost 6" of water.  More tide is required and may help but don't expect too much from this spot today.  Empty line up now but expect 40 kids soon. 

 

 

PATCH:  Smooth and glassy but very small to flat.  Periodic rollers at the meeting rock starting to break, reforming, rolling inside and dying.  Big logs can make this work and the surfers eyeing it are trying to rustle up the motivation to be first in the water.  Scamper right on by and get wet.  Have a solo session and enjoy the solitude.  Waves will come and you will ride.  Knee high +

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”- Lao Tzu

 

Drizzly with hope of sun as it is trying to burn through at spots along the way.  Bring the rain coat for now as it is wet, windless and 59F with high humidity.  Super smooth ocean surface with low tide and small bumps to ride.  Fun stuff has been the norm in the afternoon with higher water levels.

 

 

CHANNEL:  Exposed sand bars but the only morning game in town right now.  Small lefts in the knee high size are what the offerings are with the low tide and small swell conditions.    Incoming tide + big board will yield results so a little waiting will pay off today.  Already 5 in the water giving it a whirl.

 

 

PATCH:  Smooth and glassy but very small.  Trying to work but needs more water to have a better chance of success.  Empty line up at this time but will be the spot to check later in the day.  Afternoons have been waist high here but keep it secret.
