Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?” -William Shakespeare

Good morning to all of you creatures of the brine! A stellar, amber light is washing over our little, coastal hamlet today without a cloud in the sky or a care in our hearts. The temperature is living up to it's Northern California autumn potential as it's flourishing at a cool 48 degrees. Fear not, as it should warm up throughout the day. There are waves to be had this morning but a huge tide is roiling up, so either paste on the neoprene now and glide or wait until later when the temperature goes up and the tide comes down.

 

 

 

CHANNEL: A waist (+/-) high peak, or perhaps I should say "peaks" are scatter shot like the discharge from a 12 gauge by an angry father on the night of his female progeny's elopement. The Groin Pole, Middle bar, Mail-Bo and Sea Drift are all rolling through with long period waits BUT, none are truly breaking clean. Though a corner can be found here-and-there for the "right place, right time" surfer. Janitor boards, short boards, long boards, foam boards, Chairman of the bored, kooks and weekend warriors alike, come on out and slide along with your thirty (30) or so friends for a Straight-Off, Adolph Saturday.
 

PATCH:  Huge tide = Flat Patch. Maybe later this afternoon? No one here... not even the Pelican.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, and sometimes your smile is the source of your joy.”- Thich Nhat Hanh

Sunrise over the hills with perfectly crystal clear skies.  Nothing but blue now and a Bo-beautiful start to the day.  Now it is 51F - later it will be warmer and still magical.  Find your secret bench and disappear.  Observe the town from above and wonder at your powers.  Morning incoming high tide push is starting to swamp things out a bit.  Only NW windswell in the water so not much energy behind the waves but enough to get your longboard going.  Get it now or wait till the tide recedes as it will be a bit too high soon.  Water up the ramp and ins and outs off the seawall make for fun entrance and exits.  Mind your toes and tread quickly. 

 

 

 

CHANNEL: Inside Mali-BO potential when the direction is just right.  Only thigh high but when it jumps up off the Groin wall it is rideable on an egg.  Add some toast and remember breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  Surf now and work later.  Deep, deep Channel and over towards Seadrift is the better wave and is good for longboards.  Bring lots of foam for the paddle and high tide conditions.  Make like Lewis and Clark and journey across to the Stinson side to explore new realms of possibilities.  Wave size is almost waist high.  They are slow and soft but can be ridden.  Go right young man for best results.  About 8 in the water over here.
 

PATCH:  Tide too high and swell direction not helping.  Kayaks, SUPs, prone paddleboards, canoes and the like are all heading to the Patch for a nice round of paddling exercise.  Not much in terms of waves to ride now but check back later after the tide has switched around.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Arise, awake, and stop not until the goal is achieved.” - Swami Vivekananda

Mystical Magical Crystalline journey through fog on the morning drive.  Patches and potential for clearing along the way.  Open your eyes to the true potential of each day and try to see things in a new light.  In town a high overcast with zero wind and temp is 54F.  Should warm up nicely as we still have high pressure in the region and clear skies are predicted through the weekend.  We are pushing past a high tide with water coming up the boat ramp.  Combo swell with a little bit of NW and SW joining forces to give us waves today.  Outgoing should clean it up a bit more but it is rideable already.

 

 

 

CHANNEL: Fat roller lefts on the Groin bar that will wall up and run towards the beach.  Egg-able, fish-able, body-surfable and dumpy on the inside.  Fun stuff with a bit of juice on the higher tide.  Mali-BO reelers working as well with rights inside the Groin wall that may not last too long once the tide switches towards low.  Right now very rideable and waist high waves are the norm.  Not much outside on the deeper Channel bar but maybe later as the tide heads low.
 

PATCH:  Tide too high and not the best direction from the swells.  Occasional inside right in the knee/thigh range but this spot needs a makeover and that wont happen til later in the day when the tide is lower.  Good for kayaks and SUPs or NUPs if that is your water vehicle of choices.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Good morning and a happy 'hump day' to all of you enthusiasts of wave sliding. It's an absolutely gorgeous morning here at the beach with the sun out, the temperature showing a crisp 50 degrees (though it promises to be between the high 60's/low 70's later today). As for the surf....well, the tide is hitting maximum density this morning thus flooding out any potential for surf BUT, as we have all learned about tides; What comes in must eventually go out. Maybe later today. Keep an ojo peeled on this very blog for a possible update.

 

 

 

CHANNEL: I don't know if the Channel has been nipping cough syrup with Lil' Wayne but it's a waist high slow-poke roller that humps up, rolls for a few moments, sections then disappears back into the brine. Obviously it's a combination of too high a tide and not enough swell. Maybe later? One (1) lone janitor who goes by the name of Frank doing his dance called "The Pelican" is spending equal time above and below the surface.
 

PATCH:  Too much tide (and I don't mean the laundry detergent) flattening the Patch like the Coyote under an ACME steam roller. Maybe when the tide turns and starts heading back out to sea something will transpire here? Stay tuned.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Beauty awakens the soul to act.” - Dante Alighieri

Good morning to all of you creatures of the brine! It's 57 degrees here at the beach with heavy cloud cover and even a few sprinkles here and there. No real wind to speak of thus far and the water is Windex glassy for now. The tide is riding higher than Erkle's pants this morning but will drop like John Moore's pants by mid-day perhaps creating a bit more ride-able conditions. Again, only time (and this blog) will tell.

 

 

 

CHANNEL: Funky like a bow-legged monkey. There is a thigh high tumbler that is basically going nowhere over the Middle bar. That lagoon is draining pretty fast and I see one (1) person on a longboard taking what I am sure is an unintended voyage out to sea. Sail on, sailor. Maybe later with the tide change in the late afternoon.
 

PATCH:  Thigh-to-occasional-waist high glassy morsels are peeling away over the Middle of the Clam Patch all the way through the Snags. As the tide is rolling back a bit the Patch is waking up to a fresh cup 'o Joe. Fun on a log is what can be had here. Four (4) out there now... Looks like the popular 1960's psychedelic group, Russ & The Tater Salad Experience who were infamous for the regional hit, "Third Kook From The Patch."

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  

Good morning everyone and a happy Veterans Day to all! It's currently 53 degrees with the sun playing hide-and-seek behind some billowy cumulous in the heavens today. It should warm up later today into the high 60's/low 70's. A touch of swell-ness is still palatable in the emerald brine this fine 'morn and stoke may be achieved with the proper vehicle and attitude. When it's small, think big.

 

 

 

CHANNEL: It's a little junky today in the Channel and it's choppier than a ringside seat at a Bene-Hana. Occasional waist high clunkers are gurgling through the middle bar but it's that pesky lagoon that's really screwing the pooch for a clean glide. Maybe later with the tide change the menu will change as well... time will tell. Four (4) out there now ordering chicken teriyaki.
 

PATCH:  Long waits for under waist high gems in the middle of the Patch as well as at the Snags. When that tide goes back out they'll be a window of opportunity that one shouldn't miss. But right now, it's glassy, sassy and brassy. Four (4) are skating along, singing they're song...side-by-side.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Think only inwardly and you will find only loneliness, think outwardly and you will find wisdom.” - Anonymous  

Its a balmy 57*f this morning with beautiful conditions and situations all around. The wind is nil and void and the ocean surface is smooth and beautiful. There are people all around looking at the day and each one is seeing something. Open your eyes and see the wonders that the day has to offer. Dogs running, people humming, and the sun is shinning.

 

*Free Hugs are offered and given all day on the beach to all willing participants.
 

 

 

CHANNEL: There is a bump and lump to the surface but not in the direction we surf board riders like to traverse. Ride the wild rip tide out to sea or shoot for a knee high slipper that slows fast but still goes if you're desperate.  Long story short, some tide changes will be very appropriate for todays Channel enjoyment. 
 

PATCH:  Extremely extreme with a cherry on top in my dreams. Its not nonsense, its silliness. And I feel a little silly about the Patch. Its under appreciated and under valued. The little rippers that are sliding may be around double over ankle but the serenity sets are off the charts. Jump in and feel the morning.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.” - William G.T. Shedd

Early fog and foxtrot steps along the roads.  Now crystal clear, sunny, windless and 52F.  Nothing but goodness on this beautiful Fall day.  Plenty of beach and waves to ride.  Snarf your Crunch Berries, drink your kale smoothies and find your way inner shaka-ra.  Good times come to me now.

 

 

CHANNEL:  Fun stuff for the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers as the Channel delivers waist high rollers.  Grab lots of foam and find the right kind of glide this morning.  Practice animal speak and fin first drop ins.  Seek the nose and laugh all morning.  Wave size is waist high with lefts in the Channel and solo rights to seek at Seadrift for the lone wolf crew.  Full on mellow session with no unchecked aggression which will not stand.  Tide switch to going low may help and water levels are good all day.  Run, don't walk to the beach and get wet. 

PATCH:  Small and knee high but not really breaking yet.  Empty lineup but keep 1 eye open for something special.  Lots of paw prints in the sand heading over but no humans riding waves yet.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.”- Benjamin Disraeli 

Another sunny , clear and warm morning in Bolinas.  Temp clocking in at 52F and will again warm up nicely.  Embrace positivity and the new day.  Collect memories like drops of rain.  Allow them to coalesce and form into crystals.  Pick out the best ones and keep them in your mind vault.  Put on a wetsuit and a smile on your face.  Don't forget the sunscreen either.  Put your happy feet in the water.  Paddle your longboard out with the rest of the morning crew and find some glide.

 

 

CHANNEL: Still some small rollers  coming through best on the outside Channel bar.  Size is knee to almost pushing waist high on the best ones.  Enough to get your longboard moving in the right direction and there are rights and lefts to choose from.  Mostly just the NW swell left in the water now and tide just bottomed out.  Catch the incoming and maybe get a Mali-BO insider and take a peek at he Groin left as it is small but spinning and capable of being ridden.  About 8-10 surfers in the water here. 
 

PATCH: Small stuff with little peaks that have a bit of ride-ability.  Mostly inside towards the Snags but a couple of swinger waves pop up in the middle that go waist high and break.  Empty lineup currently but don't follow the pack.  Break with tradition.  Be and individual and blaze a trail to the Patch.  If your heart is pure and your board is big your will always find your happy place on these waves.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go.” - Natalie Goldberg

Sunny and spectacular morning with no wind and temp already 57F!  How good is this Fall weather been to us?  We have a most beautiful beach day today and while the swell and surf are dropping there are still small waves to ride and every one of them will put a big smile on your face.  Grab your crystal kaleidoscope and get a new view on things.  Put your suit on and don't forget the sunscreen.

 

 

CHANNEL: Small rollers in the thigh high size coming through the Channel today.  Tide starting to push in and help a bit.  Will be totally swamped out by lunch so get wet now.  Bring the longboard and check the new shop inventory if your current equipment is not up to par.   About 8-10 in the water.

PATCH: Small but rideable Patch breaking mostly inside towards the Snags.  A group of about 8 in the water and size runs up to thigh or almost waist on the better ones.  Not much S swell left but every once in a long while it will cough one up that will run to the sand.  Single-fin logs are the equipment of choice.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits." -Albert Einstein

Good morning to all of you creatures of the brine! It's yet another beautiful day here at the beach. The sun is up and yawning it's warm goodness upon the land and sea and the sky is filled with birds singing in the key of Billie Holiday, as the temperature is a subtle attention grabbing 52 degrees. The swell that came bounding in here yesterday has dropped considerably, but fear not dear reader as there are still glide-able morsels of a swell left for you to slide upon.

 

 

CHANNEL: The Channel is throwing out waist-to-just-under-chest high wedges just like a rap star making it rain money in an over-produced, shallow, self-hating, misogynistic video. With the up coming tide it may get a even better.... or not. Several different water craft of various sizes, models and odors are being applied as I write this.

PATCH: The Patch is obviously taking a little break today as it may have pulled a muscle after yesterday's stellar performance. Still, it's producing thigh-to-waist high little gems that are worth the trek. A small cadre of enthusiasts are partaking in a hodgepodge of logging rituals as I currently wax philosophical.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things." - Joe Namath

Good morning everyone and HOLEE BEANS is it ever a beautiful day, and in more ways than one! It's sunny out as the temperature is coming in at 51 degrees, no real wind as of yet AND a swell is in town! WOO! No time for chit-chat today kids. Go get your rubber on and the plank you like to spank best and glide, slide and ride!

 

 

CHANNEL: The Channel is behaving a bit odd today as it's breaking well into the chest high region but with this huge incoming tide it's looking more what scientists have referred to as "janky." It's got size, sure but not much of a clean ride. Four (4) are out there now on long boards doing what they can. I bet it gets better as the day rambles onward.

PATCH: Holy Shenanigans! The Patch is delivering and doing it with express mail. It's even out shining the Channel!!! Waist + (yes, you read that correctly) outside, middle, inside... you name it and the Patch is doing it. Clean rights and lefts and everyone is having fun at this party... even the dips! Though it's going to be a radical high tide today, the direction of this little South in the H2O (somewhere in el barrio of 230 degrees) looks to keep this party going! Don't be a jive turkey and go get your best dancing shoes on and boogie! A dozen or more in the Patch as I write this.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails." - William Arthur Ward

Good morning everyone! It's a beautiful day here at the beach on this fine, crisp autumn morning! The skies are clear, the birds are singing in the key of Sarah Vaughan and there is even a bit of surf to be glided upon. The temperature is a Northern California fall 52 degrees, though it'll warm up a bit later today. Come and enjoy the golden goodness that is the ocean.

It is sad for me to report the loss of a huge surfing influence on myself as well as countless others. Montgomery "Buttons" Kaluhiokalani (March 30, 1959 - November 2, 2013) has passed away due to complications of lung cancer. Aloha and Mahalo, bruddah Buttons.
 

 

CHANNEL: A real mixed bag this morning but showing more promise than an NBA blue chipper at the first day of practice. Waist high rollers on the middle bar and even on the Mali-Bo bar with a kiss of an off-shore and somewhat glassy to boot. Go left, go right, go however you want to go just slap on the neoprene and GO NOW before the tide screws the pooch. Several out there now doing the Channel Cha-Cha.

PATCH: Big tide is keeping the Patch under water for the most part. Granted, earlier there was a bit of a bump in it's rump but now it's trying but not really delivering...except waaaaaaay inside. With the tide change you know this place will somewhat pop! No one there as I write this.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails." - William Arthur Ward


Good morning everyone! It's a beautiful day here at the beach on this fine, crisp autumn morning! The skies are clear, the birds are singing in the key of Sarah Vaughan and there is even a bit of surf to be glided upon. The temperature is a Northern California fall 52 degrees, though it'll warm up a bit later today. Come and enjoy the golden goodness that is the ocean.

It is sad for me to report the loss of a huge surfing influence on myself as well as countless others. Montgomery "Buttons" Kaluhiokalani (March 30, 1959 - November 2, 2013) has passed away due to complications of lung cancer. Aloha and Mahalo, bruddah Buttons.
 

CHANNEL: A real mixed bag this morning but showing more promise than an NBA blue chipper at the first day of practice. Waist high rollers on the middle bar and even on the Mali-Bo bar with a kiss of an off-shore and somewhat glassy to boot. Go left, go right, go however you want to go just slap on the neoprene and GO NOW before the tide screws the pooch. Several out there now doing the Channel Cha-Cha.

PATCH: Big tide is keeping the Patch under water for the most part. Granted, earlier there was a bit of a bump in it's rump but now it's trying but not really delivering...except waaaaaaay inside. With the tide change you know this place will somewhat pop! No one there as I write this.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“Choose love and peace will follow. Choose peace and love will follow.” - Mary Helen Doyle

 

BO-beautiful Fall morning today.  Crystal clear skies with nothing but goodness in the air.  Windless, sunny, toasty at 48F with mid 70s predicted. Still have a lingering S swell and the NW is kicking in a bit.  Good stuff for surfers today.  Double your please and ride the Patch now and the Channel later.  Check your tides, grab your foam and enjoy the beach today. 

CHANNEL: Incoming tide push and swellular direction has good rights pushing into the Channel and Mali-BO sections.  Thigh to waist high waves to ride and longboards are the best call with the incoming tide.  NW energy has the Groin bar lefts spinning and spitting out some waist high goodness for a smaller board if that is more to your liking.  Either way get a suit on and get some. 

PATCH:  Fun times for the Fab 5 Funky bunch on it early for a secret seagull session.  Playfull pups and Leopard sharks are the norm today as the S kicks in and delivers on the sets.  Rights to ride and plenty of water.  A bit of a fat section mid-way to ride over and kick it into high gear.  Consistently waist high with chest high sets.  Glassy faces to ride.  Save your change as nickels and dimes are available to the skillful.  High tide may shut it down but afternoon should deliver again.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
“It takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow.” - Proverb

 

Good morning surfers!  Another majestic and magical Fall morning here in West Marin.  Temp slinking in at 46 and creeping towards 47F.  Tingly toes and runny nose as the chill air greets us.  Plenty of sunshine and no wind.  Crystal clear skies with early stars to guide you.  Temps expected to reach 70 so come to the beach and enjoy the best time of year in Northern CA.  Rideable surf in both spots as the SW swell remains and a bit of N windswell to give us ALL something worthwhile.  Run, don't wait.  Don't be a wallflower.  The tide is on the rise and NOW is the time.

CHANNEL: Still has some Westerly direction which is pushing mostly rights into the Channel and a bit of the Mali-BO area.  Longboards are key and there are about 8-10 in the water enjoying all that Mother Ocean has to give.  Size looks to be thigh + to waist and there are smiles on faces today.  Grab some foam and get wet as the weather is nice and the water is fine. 

PATCH:  Sun kissed and gloriously glistening waves which are glassy and going.  Ghosts, goblins and vampires out early before the sun crested the high hills.  Rights outside with a little tide bump mid-way but navigate that fat section and you are off to the shore.  Be clear of mind and true of heart and you will realize true serenity on the waist high waves.  Get your 30 waves then let someone else have their turn.  Lefts on the N end that are almost waist high and running in deep water toward the rocky shore.  Plenty of fun for everyone and only 6 in the water.

“Don't wait for extraordinary circumstance to do good; try to use ordinary situations.” - Charles Richter

 

Happy Halloween and welcome to a beautiful Fall morning in Bolinas.  All ghouls and goblins are out and there is a little spooky swell in the water.  Wear your costume and ride some waves.  Scare trick-or-treaters and gorge on candy.  Put your crystal skull out on display and let it rip.  Currently clear, sunny, no wind and 44F.  A bit more bump in the water and some rideable rollers to be had.  Incoming tide push helping out and some SW swell showing here and there. 

CHANNEL: Has some W direction in it and delivering mostly rights into the Channel off of the bars.  Enough push to get the longboard or broomstick moving in the right direction.  6 shattered souls are on it and fun times for the un-dead today.  Outgoing tide could deliver some rides to die for so stay tuned.  Currently triple over pumpkin sized waves.

PATCH:  Mostly inside rights but there is plenty of water so you wont find Davey Jones' locker.  Bring the biggest board you have and get some coffin rides and realize ultimate peace and sanity.  Empty lineup for humans but lots of spirits circulating.  Wave height is double jack-o-lantern!

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word is never thrown away.”—  Arthur Helps

 

Good morning campers! It's another beautiful day at the beach. The gulls are calling us from a cloudless sky as the sun scrambles up and over the ridge above Stinson and the air temperature flitters in at a frosty 44 degrees. A glorious morning we have here before us! However, the sea is fickle and today she is no different as she seems to be holding back her undulating bounty on this 'morn. Like the sirens of Odysseus she calls for us to come and play but the wise surfer will say, "Perhaps another day."
I'll update if a change occurs. 

CHANNEL: Just like yesterday only with less swell...if that's even possible! Yes, it is. Only one janitor out there now and that would be the long commuting, ever optimistic, Russ giving this lack of enthusiastic undulations that high gloss shine!

PATCH:  It's trying to produce some sort of facsimile of a wave but it has been measured and weighed and comes up lacking. The high tide and lack of general molecular energy is keeping the Patch more in the area of a wobbly pond. Maybe later? The Pelican has passed it by on his way to boldly go where no kook has gone before (cue theme song).

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.”—  Henry David Thoreau

 

Good morning children of the brine! It's a nice Tuesday morning here at the beach with the temperature coming in a little warmer today at 53 degrees and that is probably due to the overcast skies. Let's hope the sun shows itself today. While were at it, let's also hope that a swell shows as well. The wave machine has been turned off and it's flatter than a tortilla in the Texas panhandle. Maybe later with the tide turn-around someone will show up with a fist full of quarters to pump into that wave making machine and get this party started. That explains a lot about the empty parking lot! Will update if something (positive) changes.
 

CHANNEL: Nothing going here right now...really! Occasional ankle burper going into the lagoon for about ten yards but that's only good for a first down. Maybe later? Ghost town!

PATCH:  Nothing here as well. That upcoming tide is also playing a huge part in the vast nothingness. So empty it's making Detroit look like it has a thriving population.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you.”—  Aldous Huxley

 

Good morning to you sliders & gliders of the salty realities! It's another beautiful, clear cool Monday morning here at the beach with the temperature gallivanting in at a chilled 45 degrees and not much wind to speak of, nor a billow of a cloud in the sky. Not a whole lot of swell to report as of this writing. Lumps and bumps scattered in certain spots around the beach that look great for the beginners or those souls who are so desperate that they really don't give a darn.
 

CHANNEL: Occasional waist (and less) high jumbled crumblers that are rolling through the outside middle bar. Nothing really clean to trim as it's more of a straight-off ride. Excellent for the beginners, or those who were given bad directions. Two (2) not-too-discriminate souls out there now as I report this.

PATCH:  An occasional thigh high gurgler right in the middle of the Patch that is sectioning more than a Wes Craven movie. Not a lot of push, plus the incoming tide is making this the ultimate fishing spot. However, don't disparage, kids. With the later tide turnaround this spot could throw you a little something a little later. Stay tuned! Same Bat time, same Bat channel!
