Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“You bring out the best in yourself by looking for the best in others.” - Gene Bedley

4:00pm UPDATE:  SUN remains out.  Glassing up and shaping up nicely for an evening / sunset session!

Roll out of bed and watch your step today as the fog is thick and the town is crowded.  Nearly no parking already and thick pea soup conditions at the very border of town.  If you want morning sun head to Pt. Reyes.  Should / could burn off but may take a while.  Temp is now 52F.  There is a decent and building NW swell in the water but no visuals yet.  Full moon time so my crystals are fully charged even in the fog.  I'll CONSULT my crystal ball and postulate, emulate, guesstimate, animate, recreate and infiltrate a potentially likely, or not, surf report this morning.  With so many cars in the lot and surfers suiting up I would venture to say it is pumping or dare say EPIC?  Expect smoothness at least with the fog on the deck.  Be the first to find out by diving in blindly today.

CHANNEL: Unknown due to thick fog.  Anywhere from knee to chest high is my best guess and all body parts in between.  Tide is coming in so that is good.  Expect less and receive more.  I'd say the heavy stuff wont be here for a while so I'd keep surfing. 

PATCH:  Unknown due to thick fog.  Anywhere from knee to chest high is my best guess and all body parts in between. Tide is coming in so that is good. Believe in NOTHING and find something today.  This could be the greatest surf day of your life.

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth." -Muhammad Ali

And a very good morning to all of you creatures of the brine! Another glorious morning here at the beach. The sun is up and has had it's cup 'o Joe and is grinning it's warm goodness upon the land and sea. All of the birds are out this 'morn and singing in the key of Ella Fitzgerald! Skee-da-do-da-skeedle-dee-be-bop! There is even a bit of a bump in the drink in which to glide your cares away. So, my advice, wanted or not is to snap on the neoprene and grab a big 'ol log and slide for a bit as I just know that it'll put a smile on your face that will easily rival that of the sun.

CHANNEL: Glassy and smooth waist high rollers are slip-sliding away over the middle bar as well as in the Sea Drift area code and the Groin Pole region. Of course most of them are a bit section-y but with this incoming tide there is some push and the experienced wave slider will find that golden ticket to glide. About fifteen (15) out there now on logs and custodial gear.

PATCH:  Waist high emerald realities are coming across the middle of the Clam Patch and even some are connecting all-the-way through to the Snags. Section-y at times, one must place ones self in the correct take-off spot while simultaneously picking the proper wave. This can all be easily done... just take it all down to highway 61. Just DB and Cookie there now logging the endless possibilities.

“Don't be pushed by your problems, be led by your dreams.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

TGIF and good morning!  A bit of coastal cloudiness greets us this morning but patches of blue and sun are starting to show through.  No wind and very quiet and calm in town.  Temp is 52F and we will see warm temps into the weekend.  Diminishing swell leaving leftovers today but still some good pickings if you take the time to look and explore.  Longboards are the recommended board for the day as surf is small but smooth and rideable. 

CHANNEL:  Ride the inside Mali-Bo rights or seek serenity across the channel at Seadrift.  Just knee high waves on the Bolinas side and the incoming tide is giving that push to get things moving towards shore.  Still smooth but a lot smaller today.  A few more consistent and bigger waves can be had at Seadrift where there look to be rights and lefts in the waist high category.  Please bring a longboard into the water here if you wish to ride waves.  3 in the water.

PATCH:  Still surfable for log enthusiasts and janitors alike.  Bring a big board or long paddle and you will get thigh to waist high waves here today.  A patchwork of places breaking but with the tide coming in you can connect through the Snags to the very inside.  A contingent of about 12 in the water here now and more suiting up.

“When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” - Yogi Berra

Good morning and welcome to a wonderful Thursday in West Marin.  Wind has died down, sun is fully out and the temp is nicely in at 49F and will be warming quickly.  High pressure in the region so get ready for beach weather.  We do have a fairly solid NW swell in the water today with good size and a long interval.  Looks like a proper surf day today and the parking lot is nearly full.  Not the kind of quit your job or call in sick surf day but the nice day to get waves on a longboard kind of day with smooth ocean surface and decent waves to ride.  You'll also get some nice sun on your face as well so throw on the neoprene and skip down to the shoreline to find that perfect peak.

CHANNEL:  Smoothed out and spread out here today with scattered peaks up to waist high.  Not super organized but surfers up and riding at the inside Mali-Bo peak, Channel lefts and rights and across the way at Seadrift as well.  Longboards are the call as there are waves but not pumping.  Enough to get you riding and put a grin on your mug.  Remember - the Dude abides.

PATCH:  Here and there but breaking and rideable for the log and SUP aficionado.  Bring your big board here and get some rideable-glideable surf today.  Tide pushing in for another hour and plenty of water to let the swell in and keep the rocks covered.  Most of the usual suspects are on it so it must be good.  Size looks waist +/- but that looks good to me.

Good morning everyone we are having what one could best describe as an Alan Ginsberg morning....HOWL. Yes, the wind is howling off shore but as stated it's HOWLING and putting a chop on the water that even Bruce Lee would be impressed with. It's currently 62 degrees and the sun is up and gleaming it's high-gloss shine. A little bit of a bump in the water BUT it's being muscled out by this wind. The empty parking speaks volumes. Yep. It's White Cap Wednesday!

CHANNEL:  Waist high sections that this wind is janking up to no end. Maybe later? maybe tomorrow? I dunno. No one here probably because they were blown out to sea.

PATCH:  Ha! Same as above only way smaller.

“There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them." - Ray Bradbury
 

Good morning to all of you bipedal amphibians of the deep. It's yet another glorious morning here at the beach. The sun is up with it's golden goodness as the temperature is sneaking in on the nippy side of 47 degrees. The birds are out singing in the key of Jules from Sea Of Bees and everything is just dandy. The surf has dissipated a bit more and isn't really doing a heck of a lot. It could be a good day for beginners, custodial equipment or a nice hike.  


CHANNEL:  Waist (at best) on the inside middle bar that is sectioning like the tuba section of a Midwestern high school marching band. Nothing really clean as of yet but that isn't stopping one janitor out there right now polishing that turd.

PATCH:  Like geese farts on a muggy day the Patch is even smaller today (below waist) when an actual wave breaks, that is. Waaaay inside a little, sorta' something is going, sorta', kinda' With a tide change later it could improve. One (1) log so far inside they could almost be back on the beach.

“Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck." - George Carlin

Good morning to all of you Mermaids & Mermen... or, would the PC terminology be; Merpeople? Nevertheless, it's a fine morning here at the beach as the sun is beaming it's high-watt gold toothed display and the birds are singing in the key of Diane Reeves in this 54 degree blissful environ. There are still some modest, watery undulations meandering through the brine, so take some time...sit back, relax and just dig yo'self. 


CHANNEL:  Waist (+/-) on the middle bar in the Channel. Humanoids are spread out far and wide from almost the boat ramp to waaaaay over (literally) at Sea Drift. Though wedges are coming through, it would seem they are sectioning more than the old Jim Crow laws. Maybe with the tide change it could clean up...maybe. Several out there now on logs mostly.

PATCH:  Once again, it's in the middle of the Clam Patch that is belching a super slow-poke right that sections for the predominate amount of the way from waist-to-below-waist. With this outgoing tide one must be mindful of the snaggle-toothed rocks that inhabit the inside, always diligent and at the ready to take a bite out of your board. Six (6) out there now... three (3) longboards, two (2) custodial hall buffers and one butt-ski.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country." - Kurt Vonnegut

Good morning to all of you rascals and scallywags of the brine. It's an overcast morning here at the beach with the temp wiggling in at 55 degrees. Today's surf should probably be viewed somewhat like a swap meet/flea market/garage sale... there are deals to be had but one must be patient and pick through what is there to truly find the near mint copy of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (mono).


CHANNEL:  Waist (+/-) on the middle bar in the Channel and an occasional, cleaner left near the Groin Pole. The middle peak is about as organized as a ride on the 30 Stockton Avenue Muni during rush hour. However, the left can get a nice pinwheel green glide for the discerning rider. About ten (10) on various craft with several more in the parking lot ready to clog-it when they get out there to log-it.

PATCH:  The very middle of the Patch as well as the Snags are working today...somewhat. Just like it's cousin, The Channel one will have to sort of wait-and-see when a clean glide will come through. Unlike the crosstown cousin, half of these waves start but don't finish. Again, the discerning eye will help one with slide 'n glide realities. Twenty plus (20+) already out there and yes, more are on the way.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

Welcome to the weekend!  We have sunny skies and no wind with a morning temp of 52F.  Get ready for a nice bit of weather.  Diminishing swells fade away but still give up some rideable waves.  Think of it as leftovers for breakfast.  It was better the day before but still worth riding today.  Longboards are the call and there are plenty scattered about this morning.  Dropping tide pushes back to late morning so take advantage now and ride again later.  Perfect beach day.


CHANNEL:  A few lefts of the Groin and a few rights in the Channel.  Smooth when they show and size is waist high.  Not too organized so be prepared to wait for the better waves to arrive while catching a few sectioning ones in between.  Still best on a longboard today as the push is less and the tide is draining to low.  Smoothness at times and a beautiful morning to be in the water. 

PATCH:  If you have a 9.6 longboard then please bring it to the Patch to ride.  Lovely logging morning with softening peaks that will let you in then disappear or not.  Playing a bit of a game called "Wave or Not Wave" today.  The extra length on your board will help you get in and make sections.  Size is almost waist high a few will run all the way to the beach from way outside - most don't.  Inside at the Snags there are boils to avoid with the dropping water but rights that will wall up and reel to the sand.  Fast, fun and short but smooth and glassy this morning.  Get in and get some today then check it again as the tide fills in tonight.  Those with imbedded crystals in their boards will have the best results.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“You are what you give; not what you are given.” - Sir David Tang

Coastal cloudiness has given way to morning sunshine.  Light winds that blow offshore / sideshore today and temp is 51F.  We're back to sunny times through the weekend according to reliable sources.  West swell combo with a background South giving us a cornucopia or choices today.  A potpourri of options as it is a bit jumbled but does have energy behind it and lines are on the horizon.   Early morning high tide dropping out so favorable to wave shape but will soon be too low and rip things up.  Get your favorite stick waxed up and head out now.  Enjoy a day of surf and keep your crystals close. 



CHANNEL:  Smooth wave faces and scattered peaks.  Competing swells sometimes line up to produce a nice clean wave that goes waist high + in size.  The lefts have the best surfing potential but it is a bit funky and jumbled so finding the right one takes some effort.  Definitely something out there to get you board moving in the right direction.  Low tide coming soon so jump in now or wait until after lunch.  Even straight out from the Boat Ramp has waves and a lone longboarder is giving it his best shot at glory.

PATCH:  Peaks all over the place and most way outside.  Size ranges from thigh to waist and a bit bigger when the swells combo up.  Long rides to the beach and longer paddle back out!  Smooth ocean but lots of swell activity keeping it far from organized.  Still lots to ride and about 10-12 surfers are in the water.  Lefts and rights and rights and lefts are out there.  Track one down and enjoy the ride.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” - Epicurus Greek Philosopher

Overnite rain but clear and calm this morning.  Currently 55F, overcast with a few patches of blue sky.  A bit of swell out there today - a bit jumble but lines to watch and waves to ride on a longboard. Combo swell out there but really low tide with tons of beach exposed just now.  If weather stays calm we should see some increase in surf throughout the day.  Kill some time and give it a check in a few hours.  Find your magic wave today.  



CHANNEL:  Super low tide has sandbars exposed and needing more water to get working for surf.  1 shortboarder bobbing around in the waist high water but not catching any waves which are sloppy and small.  Give it more time for tidal change and this spot may deliver.  Now - not. 

PATCH:  Way downtown and way outside there are waves.  Looks to go waist high and there are a few surfers out there now well past the meeting rock..  It's shifty but rideable and lefts and rights can be had.  More water will help clean it up but for now it can be surfed - to a degree.

“If you're not going to go all the way then why go at all?" - Logan Bernard Frazier

Good morning to all of you practitioners of the slide. It's overcast with a wind just starting to pick up. Rain is due later today and yes, that is good. It's 57 degrees out and the birds are staying home and so is the sun. One word today; Umbrella. There is a bit of some swell out there, albeit a tad mixed and the tide is coming up.
It's your call.


CHANNEL:  Waist (+) with nothing too great to report as it's all sloppy and choppy. The line up says it all...empty.

PATCH:  Waist high stuff waaaaaay outside past the Rock/Meeting Rock/Bulk Head. Some go left, some go right and some don't go at all. It can be a good exercise session... or not. About four (4) there now with a proverbial Jamboree of logs, Janitor boards and even Bill on his wave ski.

“I do the very best I know how, the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end." - Abraham Lincoln

Good morning peeps. I hope you weren't expecting great surf news of biblical proportions as I can't seem to pull of the Charleton Heston for you this morning. Sorry about that. It's off-and-on clouds this morning though showers are expected again for later today. The temperature is a mellow 57 degrees as there is a very slight on-shore breeze ruffling the water surface a tad and the water is still an effervescent ca-ca brown. Not a lot surf to report as you're not really missing anything. As my grandfather used to say; "Boy, sometimes you have to eat a lot of s*** before you know what a sirloin tastes like." If things do indeed change for the better I'll post it right here... if not, I won't.




CHANNEL:  Waist high white water belching over the exposed sand bar. No one here and for good reason.

PATCH:  Waist high chunks that pop-up all over the place then go away. The pulses are really close together and all over the map. Again, the water is yucky, so if you REALLY feel you need to paddle around here today PLEASE be sure to shower well after the session and rinse out the eyes, ears and nose. Three (3) way outside bobbing around.

“Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer." - Denis Waitley

Good morning to all of you plank spanker's. It's another winter morning here at the beach with the temperature coming in this morning at double nickles (that's 55 degrees for those who have not consumed their morning 'wake up' juice as of yet), with overcast skies and a good chance of more rain due in (we still need it, kids). The wind is on-shore and the swell that was here already has a foot out the door. However, forecasts which can go either way are calling for a little bit of a swell to pick up for a minute by the middle of this week. We'll wait and see. My advice to you today is simply two words; Stay Home. If you do decide to go out anyway PLEASE be sure to shower VERY well once you're home and focus on the ears, eyes and nose because when there are rain storms, there are loads of ugly things in the water that can make one very sick.  



CHANNEL:  The only difference with the Channel today and a full toilet bowl being clogged while simultaneously being flushed is reading material and TP. 
One (1) desperado out there now playing the role of the 'Tidy Bowl Man' and without a plunger.

PATCH:  It's the winter time drink, called the brown, rough and stinky... and when served in the Clam Patch it's on the rocks. Both shaken and stirred. No one drinking this cocktail as I write this.

“I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches." - Alice Roosevelt Longworth

Good morning to all of you amphibians of the sea. Now for the news; Oooh... not too sweet out in the brine this 'morn. Lumpy and crappy pop-up brown things that look like they could be waves but end up being drunken sailors on shore leave. People are out there trying to "surf" but people generally have the blind arrogance of their colonizing ancestors and attempt the conquering anyway. If you find yourself driving all the way out here to paddle around in unstable, brown, semi-polluted water then go right ahead. For the rest of you, continue on with plan B as the surf will eventually come... it always does and always will. 
And now here's Bob with the weather; Thanks, Jim. It's 55 degrees with gray skies, on-shore wind, drizzle/rain. back to you.
Now to sports. Take it away, Skip; Okay Bob. Boy, that Japanese pitcher for the Yankees sure has a wicked slider. back to you.
And finally, the traffic update with Kimber; Thanks, Bobby. Light traffic this morning here at the beach... did see a fox on my walk here and the parking lot is almost empty.

 

CHANNEL:  One word; UGLY! Still, six (6) people are trying to do something... I dunno? Surf, perhaps? The best bet is to wait for this on-shore ugliness to subside as the water looks the color of what undoubtedly is floating in it.... poopy.

PATCH:  Terrible. I watched six (6) people for over twenty minutes do nothing but paddle around the rinse cycle desperately looking for surf and only one (1) managed to catch a chunk o' crap and ride it for about thirty yards then it fizzled. Do what you want but I'd wait this out.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”- Coach John Wooden

Wet and wild times today with SW windswell of decent size and plenty of E winds.  Jumbled and messy with an incoming high tide that has the fisherman and wave watchers up the ramp to avoid getting wet.  Currently 56F and not raining.  Patchy skies that are clear now but rain is possible throughout the day.  A few are suiting up to brave the conditions and there could be a few rides to be had.  Roll the dice, rub your crystals and take a chance at greatness today.

 

CHANNEL:  Churned up and sizable with choppy wave pieces that are shoulder high or bigger.  Not clean and not very rideable but that is not stopping some from putting on suits and heading out.  Board choice of the day is any beater you have that will take damage as there will be some rounds of battle won my Mother Ocean today.  Shaka shaka gnar gnar.

PATCH:  Stormy conditions and white-capped as well.  Funky and junky and disorganized as the cherry on top.  Chest high chunks of water here, there and everywhere.  Ho brah.

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“No one is more cherished in this world than someone who lightens the burden of another.”- Unknown

Whipped by wind and frothy.  Rain and wind and plenty of it on tap today as a decent sized storm is here.  Again not fit for fish or fowl but perfect for the second group of private school teens?!  Lots of debris littering the roads and ocean so tread lightly today.  There are about 99 things to do today that would be more appealing than trying to surf.  At least browse our racks of new boards for the next time it gets clean.

 

CHANNEL:  Victory as sea today with white caps and burly looking choppy waves.  Size is likely chest high or greater and not organized in any way.  High tide still pushing in and up the ramp to the street.  Have fun.

PATCH:  Big old sloppy mess today.   High tide giving it plenty of water and no shape as storm surf is in play.  Avoid.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“I haven’t a clue how my story will end, but that’s all right. When you set out on a journey and night covers the road, that’s when you discover the stars.”- Nancy Willard

Ripped and torn, crashed and burned.  Past storm churned with chocolate milk colored ocean.  Not really fit for fish or fowl but perfect for private school teens?!  Plenty of rain last night but clear and sunny now with patchy blue skies.  Still a bit of wind but not too bad - probably wouldn't help or hurt today.  Enjoy the wet and take a hike is my best advice.  Will need a day to calm down and another big storm is predicted for Friday.  Drive slow as the roads are littered with branches and such and remain wet. 

 

CHANNEL:  Here there and everywhere with storm surf pieces of waves up to chest high.  Are they rideable?  Who knows as there are no takers yet and it is not too inviting.  Also a Michael Jordan sized high tide still peaking and rushing up the ramp carrying the debris from last night.

PATCH:  Sloppy mess and high tide nonsense.  Partial almost waves that look like waist high junk-funk.  Maybe if the weather stays calm and the tide goes out it might work later.  Doubtful.

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come." -Robert H. Schuller

Good morning to all of you offspring of the brine. It's finally here! No, not that Wilt Chamberlin basketball and Goal set I ordered off the back of a comic book way back when... I'm talking about the rain! It's starting out a little slow but you can see it building! Granted the surf is sloppy, messy and no fun but this rain is really what the doctor ordered for right now. So, sit back, relax and just dig the precipitation!

 
CHANNEL:  Total 'Victory-At-Sea' as it's a drunken mess with on-shore wind and a rain storm that even a zillion janitor boards couldn't mop up.

PATCH: The empty parking lot alone tells the story, but one only need to look at the sky and the wind and falling rain to ascertain that today is not a surf day.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  

“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions" - Oliver Wendell Holmes

Good morning kids! I hope that you all slept well. Boy, it's not looking too good out there on the water this morning. On-shore breeze with almost zero swell and what do you get? A day at work/school/cell block B. Not a heck of a lot to talk about. The vultures are circling a dead critter over by the pilings and probably the "dead beach day" as well. It's currently 53 degrees and very overcast... yes, that rain storm is a'coming! YEW! We need it! If anything should change for the positive in the water conditions I will be sure to post it right here. If not... you already know the drill.
If you have the day off I suggest renting a few Harold Ramis movies... Ground Hog Day is always good.

 
CHANNEL:  Not even worth a paddle. All that's happening here is the lagoon is draining faster than the Greek economy. Maybe later but I have my doubts.

PATCH: Same as above (only without the lagoon part). Skunky, junky and funky.
