WE WILL BE CLOSING AT 5PM TONIGHT, SHARP!

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
“Weather forecast for tonight: dark." - George Carlin


Good morning to all of you plank riders of the brine. It's a stupendous morning out here at the beach! Holy beans! The temperature is sauntering in at a wonderful 59 degrees, the sun is up grinning it's Captain Jack Sparrow gold toothed grin, as the birds are out in numbers singing in the key of Ella Fitzgerald! The wind is breezing it's way in at an off-shore to side-shore direction. There is even a bit of a South swell in the water. Mm mm good! So, saddle up and ride them doggies across the aquatic frontier! Yee-haw!



CHANNEL:  Waist (+/-) greenies are rolling in just outside of the Groin Pole. They are not traveling too far but good enough for a first down plus some extra yardage. Six (6) mystic travelers of the log brigade are out there now as I write this gliding their collective morning cares away.


PATCH:  Waist-to-below right hand rollers are finding their way to the Bolinas shores this morning at the Patch...HOWEVER, they are starting way inside over the rocks right on the Snags/Patch border. You will confront one of "the twins" upon take-off, so be mindful of that and respect their destruction of fin-box capabilities! Two (2) lumberjacks out there now chopping wood on logs through the rock forest.

“I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should of been more specific." - Lily Tomlin


Good morning everyone and a happy Monday to you all! It's a little gray (or, grey) out there right now but since the wind hasn't shown up yet it's all sassy & glassy. The temperature is slipping in at 55 degrees but it promises to warm up quite nicely later today. There is even a little bump in the H2O for a change, so with a big enough hydrodynamic vehicle one may obtain a glide this morning that may very well help you on your personal journey to enlightenment....or, it'll just have you lighten up. Lastly, surf camps are well in session now, so please be mindful of the groms as they are just learning this wonderful truth we simply call 'Stoke.'



CHANNEL:  Thigh high wedges of emerald joy are slipping and sliding their way across the Middle Bar, both inside as well as outside. Even the Groin Pole is trying to get in on the act. They are a bit slow and can be section-y but with a little patience and a keen eye one can most definitely find a joyful glide. Eight (8) logs are clocking time here as I write this.


PATCH:  Thigh-to-below-thigh are slipping across the rocky Patch this 'morn. This is very typical for this time of year.... however, there is an occasional left popping-up on the border of the Patch and Green/Africa. Only 'Half Full' out there now on that border town doing thigh high shots of Jesus and Tequila.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
“The visible sign of utter love is an undying smile.” - Ravi Shankar


Sun shining this beautiful summer morning as we welcome the new season with a vengeance.  The temp is in at 54F and not a hint of wind to ruffle your feathers.  Overall at top 5 beach day for June.  Nice little bit of windswell surf action occurring as well with crystalline, serpentine and just in time dose of waves for your longboard.  Low volume boards need not apply.  Get out there and experience the stoke and aloha that the ocean is capable of supplying.  It is out there and if you seek you will find. 



CHANNEL:  NW windswell of a decently appropriate direction materializing as rideable lefts in the solidly thigh high configuration.  Deeper Channel bar is where it's at today with a few inside Mali-Bo rights to sample as well.  A few rights appear and most waves bend and wind their merry way to the inside.  Bring a big board and have a big smile.  Joy prevails here and all that enter with positivity will be rewarded with waves.  Incoming tide a big help and it may swamp out mid morning but fear not as the day is long and the sun shines bright.


PATCH:  Solitude and peace prevail here today.  Glassy and flat with zero surfers enjoying the lack of waves .  Micro-slider waves of the ankle high variety have the ability to appear but infrequently at best.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
“He who wishes to secure the good of others, has already secured his own.” -
Confucius 


New beginnings as we embark into the Summer Solstice today.  The longest day of the year so extra opportunities to make it memorable.  Fill your pockets with crystals and get out into the wild blue yonder and make it a wild ride.  We again start the morning with sunshine and no winds.  Temp 54F and warming nicely.  Expect greatness again today from Mother Nature.  Glistening and glassy ocean expanses await your hydrodynamic vessel of choice.  Working windswell and incoming tide getting the morning started with some early rideable waves.  Lots of ins, outs and what have yous involved today so keep your eyes on the tides and hope the wind stays slack.  



CHANNEL:  Tide incoming for another hour gives that push you are looking for and peaks materialize over sandbars.  Good stuff happening in the Channel and across at Seadrift where rights in the thigh to nearing waist high region are being ridden on longboards.  Inside Mali-Bo waves also working with a drop in size to thigh high but no less fun on the bigger board.  A scattered contingent of surfers mashing is up out there.  Throw on the suit and join the party our submarine has seats for 22 on the lower deck.


PATCH:  Solitude and peace prevail here today.  Glassy and flat with 1 surfer enjoying the excellence.  Micro-slider waves of the knee high variety may pass through on the inside but only for the chosen few that know that key to total consciousness.  Boards 10' and above will revel in the glory today.  Lesser boards not so much.

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 - Vietnamese Buddhist Monk


If you like beautiful weather then today is your kind of day.  Full of sunshine without a whisper of wind.  Current temp is 53F and that will warm considerably during the day.  Liquid glass ocean which is not a good thing for surfers but the semi-occasional, infrequently seen and almost ridden, possibly likely to break wave pops up to add to the greatness of the day.   Go for a paddle or a swim.  Frolic with seals and crustaceans. Hike with marmots and foxes.  Get outside and celebrate the gifts we have all been given today.  



CHANNEL:  Tide dropping but not freight train style.  Still will have some S pull and starting to rip things up a bit.  Mali-Bo looks to have a wave or two and every so often the Channel bar has a wave hit and fold over that is rideable on a longboard.  Size rolls in at knee high + and that may just be enough for you today.  Take what is available and given and the horizon holds no secrets and very little swell either.  1 surfer and NUPper on it.  1 heading out and 1 thinking long and hard about it.  TGIF. 


PATCH:  Reeling, dealing and feeling it with a knee high micro spinner that was witnessed on the inside.  No surfers in the area so not sure it really happened.  If a wave breaks and no one is on it did it really break?  A good question to ponder while you wait for the next roller to appear.  Bring the biggest board and go make something out of nothing.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
“We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.” - Mother Teresa


Cool, calm and somewhat collected morning here at the beach.  We have coastal overcast but not a breath of wind.  Makes for a glassy ocean and since the swellular activity is low it is near lake-like in its form.   Just meager NW windswell attempting to produce surfable waves today.  Temp is in at 54F and the clouds should burn off soon and give way to another beautiful day with warm temps.  For now it is a waiting game for better surf and sun.  Eventually they both will come so make the best of what the day offers and find your happiness within.



CHANNEL:  Tide is outgoing and draining quickly.  Mind the rip or visit Stinson on the watery express train.  Hug the Bolinas side of things at the Groin pole and you will be rewarded with knee high crumblers, mysto micro-peelers that are chopped and ripped from the tidal action.  1 surfer is on it and making it look almost worth the effort.  Tide fills in during the afternoon and if winds remain calm there likely will be a little spinning right to sample but for now just pieces and parts and not very clean at all.  


PATCH:  Nada mucho.  Flat conditions conducive to kayaks and touring SUPs, swimming and fishing but not surfing yet.

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." - Dr. Seuss


Good morning and a happy 'hump day' to all of you slip & sliders of the brine. It's ANOTHER tremendously gorgeous morning here at the beach! WOW! The temperature is sneaking in at a deceptively cool 53 degrees but it feels much, much warmer as temperatures will climb steadily throughout the day. The sun is up on time today and splashing us with golden goodness and plenty of vitamin D (still, be sure to wear your sun block) and the winds are sleeping in as they haven't showed up as of yet. The swell is still not really here but again, great day to do all sorts of outdoor activities. Per usual, I'll throw down whatever positive info that may/could transpire right here if need be. Until then, sit back, relax and just dig yo'self.



CHANNEL: Draining lagoon again but with thigh (at best) high crumblers that are meeting the charging, out-going tide making it a spot for the Kooks, the Desperate or the brain damaged. SUPER slow, resembling the Patch on a teeny, tiny day. However, at the Groin Pole, six (6) hopefuls on surfboards and janitorial boats are there now riding straight off for about 30-40 yards and then coming to a complete stop. Maybe later with the tide change...?


PATCH:  Nope.

"If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough." - Meister Eckhart

Good morning and good day to all of you purveyors of crystalline barrels and emerald wedges! It's another GLORIOUS day here at the beach. The temperature is tip-toeing in at a modest 52 degrees, but it will warm up later today as that lucky 'ol sun is up and rolling around heaven all day. Even the birds are out singing in the key of Maurice White (ala mid-1970's Earth, Wind & Fire) because that pesky wind is not to be seen or felt anywhere in town as I write this! Unfortunately, nor is any swell to be seen but what the heck? It's a gorgeous day! Why not hike the beach on this extremely low tide? Or, take out a janitor board and tour around while sweeping up? Hike Mount Tam? Ride bikes? Skate an empty swimming pool? Call you mother....the possibilities are endless. It is truly a day to be grateful for!



CHANNEL: Draining lagoon and absolutely flat conditions. Fishing comes to mind right about now...


PATCH:  Sorry. The Patch is shut off this morning. Loads of rocks to explore. Look at sea life, get to know where the bigger inside rocks are for future reference, find lost fins...some with the fin-box still attached.

"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future." - John F. Kennedy

"Oh-what-a-beautiful-morning....Oh-what-a-beautiful-daaaaaaaay...!" Greetings all of you amphibious plank spankers and janitorial purveyors of the most custodial kind. It's the beginning of another week and it is a wonderful day to be alive! The temperature is galloping in at a most pleasant 54 degrees as the sun is up and grinning it's gold toothed goodness down upon this ocean side hamlet with love and ease. The birds are all out singing in the key of the recently departed great, Jimmy Scott but that wind......whew! Blowing like Dizzy in one heck of a tizzy. Not a lot of swell happening either but this could change and change is good. I'll keep you all posted right here if this does indeed transpire.



CHANNEL: The tide is so low right now that it's scraping the bottom and leaving a shower of sparks in it's wake. Since it's about ankle high there is only Josh Churchman over there with his RC surfer getting little head-high lefts. Other than that, humans are staying away.


PATCH:  It's rocking out over here at the patch, and by rocking out I don't mean with a swell. Super low tide has exposed and is continuing to expose the rocks. HOWEVER, I suggest going out there and learning where all of the bigger species of rockage are (the twins, etc.) AND be sure to look at all of the sea life that dwells there as this is a great opportunity to do so. Just watch your step as it's slippery and be sure to look, not touch. No surfers here as there is absolutely nothing to surf here as of yet.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
"My dad is my hero" - Harry Connick Jr.

Happy father's day to all you loving dads. 
Success is just on the horizon for all you bedheads lounging around this morning. The day is anew with the sun shining bright and the skies crystal clear blue; The coffee is warm, the boards freshly waxed and the water is awaiting it's morning warriors to dare the exposed rocks and sandbars. Bring all your father's out in the afternoon and show them how much you appreciate them with a good surf. It's a crisp 55F this morning with just the slightest breath meandering it's way by. Tide is in the negative as we wake up today so very slight surf is available, but don't let that stop you today as a NW windswell and SW swell combo throughout the region today. Expect it all to pick up as the tide shifts and fills in to provide a little extra push and size. This ain't no place for the weary kind, so take that double shot of espresso and head on out.



CHANNEL: Tide is bottomed out and the sandbars make a walkway across the channel. Some may find entertainment in leapfrog today as you can hop from sandbar to sandbar all the way to Stinson. There are a few guys practicing they're paddling as some debatable knee high shorebreak hits the exposed sand this morning. This should be helped by the incoming tide later today, so don't rush your morning. Set yourself on cruise control and enjoy this special day with your dad. 


PATCH:  If you look close you can see our crustacean overlords building their empire in the exposed rocks as Poseidon has given us a glimpse of our future for the morning. One man is daring the rocks and catching the most unbelievably small rides on what seems to be a plane wing. Let the water fill in more and see where that leads you before paddling out on this beautiful morning. May I suggest a hike or bike ride with dad?

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
“Success is focusing the full power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve.” - Wilferd A. Peterson



Yes the crystals are charged, cleansed and at full power again.  Yes we are ready for greatness today.  The perceived perception is a skewed reality and when WWF heroes start kicking down closet doors the world is turned on its ear and somehow everything feels - RIGHT.  Ours is not to question WHY just to listen, learn and inspire.  We start the morning with a sky full of sun and nary a breath of wind.  Temp is 53F and mid 70s are a lock for the afternoon.  A new dose of NW windswell and a SW swell will have combo effects if the energy is positive and focused.  Below shallow morning tide level in play at the moment so expect better surf as the tide fills in and gives that extra push.  Point your crystals to the West and ask Mother Ocean to deliver the goods.  We've got room on the Crazy Train if you are so inclined to hop aboard.



CHANNEL:  Exploration is the key word of the day.  Play Ponce de Leon and navigate your way from Bolinas to Stinson traveling only on the exposed sandbars.  It is possible so make a game of it as the bottomless tide hits the low point.  Nothing doing here wave wise and the sand is higher than the water and that is not good for surfing.  Incoming tide delivered rights to ride and lefts to flow yesterday with size going near waist high.  Just give it time and think positive thoughts.  A beautiful morning to get lost then find your way back to a new reality.  Surfing is possible but only later in the day.  Try wait.  


PATCH:  See Atlantis as the watery curtain has been pulled back and ALL rocks are fully exposed.  Not a sight to witness lightly and surf here is less then sporadic at the moment.  Way out beyond the meeting rock and on the way to Greene Afrika the S pulses every so often.  Not sure how rideable a wave it represents but 1 surfer is on the way out to sample.  Lots more water is the morning need here and until it fills in there are more worthwhile endeavors to undertake.  Try later.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
“Being rich of heart makes you wealthy beyond compare.” - Rodney Williams


Starting a new streak with 2 days of morning sunshine and no wind to start the day.  A good trend to have and starting to feel like summer.  Clear skies and temps up into the 70s expected for the future.  For now we start at 55F and a beautiful Friday morning.  Still just moderate surf conditions but a bit of NW wind-swell and a fading S swell can unite in crystal harmony and produce rideable waves for your surfing enjoyment.  Full moon crystal charging is FREE today so take full advantage.  It is also a spectacular beach day so throw on the neoprene and the sunscreen and find your way out. 


CHANNEL:  Low tide choppiness and exposed sand bar type of morning.  If there ever was a day that needed more water this is it.  Churned surface that is not currently surfable - likely won't stop a few from trying.  Allow the crystals to guide and head north to the Patch for now.  Try later in the Channel and winds should remain light and water levels need a few hours to reach optimum flux capacity.


PATCH:  Rock pickers' delight with one of the lowest negative tides of the year just starting to fill in.  If you lost a fin in the Patch a few years back you may be able to find it today.  If you want to see what lays beneath the ocean surface and causes waves to break you can do that as well.  If you want to explore crustacean lifestyle in all the wonder and glory that is available as well.  If you want to suit up and paddle out you best have a very long board and if so way way outside past he meeting rock the S swell pulses will appear like magic.  Take advantage and savor the sweet little gems as there are just a few to partake of on this low tide morning.  Size rears in at knee to thigh yet they will provide the glide your morning needs to get off on a good note.  Saddle up and ride.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
“True humility is being able to accept criticisms as graciously as we accept compliments.” - Sabrina Newby


Sun is out!  Rejoice in all the wonder, glory, goodness and vitamin D!

We start again with coastal cloudiness but not as windy as in the past.  No sun yet the temp is up to 56F.  Possible clearing in that later part of the day but for now just morning calm prevails.  Not much swell and plenty of tidal swing today.  It truly is a CRYSTAL conundrum.  Just small NW windswell and the meager SW groundswell that can combo up for a ride or two.  Not epic but a day at least to check it and maybe get wet. 


CHANNEL:  Supremely negative early morning low tide is marching back in.  The push helps but it is fairly well a choppy / sloppy situation in the Channel with surf nearly knee high.  Empty lineup speaks volumes but a bit more water could help out on the inner bars.  Seadrift experiencing the same activity and more water will improve things here as well.  For now it is a wait and see morning. 


PATCH:  Super smooth and nearly flat.  There is however a small pod of surfers sitting way outside past the meeting rock.  They are either planning big things or waiting for the SW set waves to appear.  I saw none of the latter but wishful thinking and positivity goes a long way on many surf days.  Grab the biggest board you have and join the party.  Tell them the shop sent you out to investigate the goodness. Ankle high.

Good morning and welcome to the very middle of the week all of you hopeful amphibians! It's another gray (or grey), blustery morning out here at the beach, which is typical summer fare here in this little ocean oriented hamlet. But I digress...let's get back to it. The sun is sleeping in, the temperature is slinking in at 56 degrees, yet there is another morning of that West/Southwest wind coming in and mixing up the water's surface as it is want to do. This makes for a challenging morning for anyone. Let's just hope that the wind subsides and the sun indeed makes an appearance later in the day. If this phenomenon does indeed transpire then I will surely report such findings right here in this very blog.


CHANNEL:  Man-O-Man! It's pretty darn stanky over here. There is a waist-to-below-waist roller coming in every so often BUT with this on-shore wind it's all section-y and crumbling everywhere. This is not deterring the efforts of four (4) souls out there now riding 'Straight off, Adolph' on the "Jank Supreme Express." Maybe, MAYBE with enough patience and luck one may obtain a clean, soul cleansing ride. I said 'maybe.' Consult your crystal guru, Drew about such endeavors.


PATCH:  Again, another morning of thigh-high crumbling slow-pokes (at best). Looks even worse than yesterday and the empty line-up is speaking volumes of this agonizing reappraisal. Maybe later?

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT. 

Respect the Beach.

Good morning to all of you purveyors of hydrodynamic realities! Weather-wise, it's looking very similar to winter out here at the beach today. The temperature is sneaking in at a deceptively warmish 57 degrees but with the marine layer, mist and on-shore wind it feels a bit cooler. The birds are apparently staying in this morning leaving the mornings soundtrack eerily silent. It's all supposed to burn off later and stay in the low 60's on the coast. Still not much of a swell in either. We'll keep you updated if changes for the positive do arise.

CHANNEL:  Uglier than a wart hog surfing stink-bug style in a plaid leisure suit. This on-shore wind is coming strong out of the West/Southwest and is messing up this spot but good! Below waist high janksters crumbling and fumbling at the goal line. If the wind ever let's up it could work. No one here as of yet for obvious reasons.

PATCH:  Thigh high crumbling slow-pokes combined with drunk conditions is nothing more than the bed spins and projectile vomiting. Again, the wind is really smacking this spot around. Only "Half Full" is out there now trying in vain to uphold her moniker.

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT.

Well, good morning to all of you Mermaids and Mermen of the life aquatic! It's an absolute BEAUTIFUL morning here at the beach! It's already 56 degrees, nary any breeze and that sun is up and giggling that gold toothed grin as all of the foul, flying or grounded are singing in the key of Solomon Burke. Mm, mm, mm! It's truly a wonderful day to be alive! As for swell.... not much of anything coming in BUT, that doesn't mean that you can't go for a swim and then park it on the sand, beverage of your choice in one hand and a book/magazine in the other and just lay back and dig yo'self. 


CHANNEL:  Absolute glass like a glass of Absolute. HOWEVER, the wave-age is somewhere in the ankle to shin range and gurgling like a clogged drain. Maybe a plunger will help but until Roto-Rooter arrives it might be better to look at Western facing beaches this 'morn. Or, if you have a custodial contraption you can paddle around...One (1) log just sitting there in the wrong spot... perhaps contemplating another activity?



PATCH:  Below knee crumblers that are slower than a broken-down 1972 Pinto stuck on the 880 during rush hour. A big, BIG board could work here this morning but I don't know what for. It looks like Cookie is back and charging the slowness. Go Cookie, go!

The sun is out, but the fog is low this morning as the beach slowly rumbles. It seems to remind you of driving with your brights on through tule fog as the sun whites out the ocean trying it's best to break through. Not a bad morning to enjoy with a cup of coffee in one hand and a bagel in the other all bundled up in a hoodie as we await the fog to burn off and the surf to show itself. NW windswell is holding with small south swell seemingly pushing it's way in still as the air temp rises slowly from a crisp 55F. As for right now, it is difficult to say for certain how much of the swell is wrapping it's way in to little ol' Bolinas, but the tides are all positive and things should be shaping up for a fun day as a few weekend warriors are starting to paddle out.


CHANNEL:  Surface conditions appear fairly glassy this morning as 2 logs paddle out. With the fog it is hard to say it is anything above thigh high. Expect similar conditions as yesterday with an update on surf later this morning as the sun peaks through. 
 


PATCH:  Clean this morning with a few little peelers reeling their way in this morning. About 3 logs paddling out and getting lost in the haze this morning. From what could be seen, a few ankle to knee high waves were rolling through on the sets, but once again, the fog clouds the line-up beyond certainty. Expect an update along with the channel later today as the fog burns off.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
“You bring out the best in yourself by looking for the best in others.” - Gene Bedley


Slow for foxes!  Spring pups are out frolicking and it is their world not ours to inhabit.  Slow it down and soak it in.  Look around and absorb the natural beauty that surrounds.  Shut your eyes and mouth and listen to the sounds of nature.  Show your appreciation every day.  Coastal cloudiness and beach overcast that is expected to burn off and give way to a CRYSTAL clear day full of promise and magic. Temp is in at 55F and again some morning S winds.  These have been slacking off throughout the day and glassing in the evening.  Yewwww.  NW windswell up a few ticks and small S swell holding steady.  Mostly humble morning conditions for surfing but there is hope in the water and in my meager heart.  Fairly typical regional Spring conditions but possible combo waves later in the day with less wind as water levels remain good.  


CHANNEL:  Taking in the NW windswell a bit but still mumbled and jumbled surf.  Lightly textured ocean surface with a few rollers breaking in the thigh high size range.  Still a pieces and parts kind of day with waves that break an crumble in both directions.  You can get a longboard moving today and if the weather clears early and the wind dies off and the swell picks up I would naturally expect this spot to fire.  For now and empty lineup but the weekender crew are getting suits on and heading over.  

 


PATCH:  Small and somewhat reasonable to look at, stare out, hope about and imagine the waves that could and will be - but not right now.  A bit textured with the S wind and occasional small waves in the ankle to knee realm.  Evening glass off conditions last nite but for now NO.  Try wait.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
“What is defeat? Nothing but education; nothing but the first step to something better.” - Wendell Phillips


Magically misty and overcast morning.  S winds and chopped ocean.  Temp slinks in at 55F.  Can you dig it?  I know the calendar says June but early Spring conditions prevail right now.  Generally dismal conditions today but remain optimistic and keep the clear crystal vibes flowing towards positivity.  Close your eyes and listen to birds chirp and the calmness that prevails in the air.  Each day has beauty if you look closely.  That being said just NW windswell and very weak S swell in the water and the winds are not favorable.  Tides are good and if a big change happens you will have plenty of water covering the bottom and waves will magically start marching in but for now small and sloppy. 


CHANNEL:  Pieces and parts of surf and the mid-Channel bars are picking it up a bit.  Not shapely or sizeable but enough to get you on your feet and maybe surf it a bit.  Knee to thigh high and grumpy waves that want less wind and more swell.  For now this is the spot with the most potential and while the lineup remains empty I know there will be takers soon.  A clearing weather trend is coming and the winds may die off later today.  Get it or not but today may be the day to find that new summer longboard in our racks. 
 


PATCH:  Slappy and droopy with nothing surf related to discuss.  The fishermen have moved in this direction and that is somewhat noteworthy.  There is plenty of sand moved back on the beach here.  There are no waves currently here except for the one double over barnacle grinder I saw earlier.

“Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” - Marie Curie



June gloom but don't swoon.  Still got the morning overcasty conditions and moderate temp at 55F.  Fog usually keeps the winds down and they are not blowing this morning.  Still not any real swell in the water to speak of but we will take improvements in small doses and relish them in all their crystal glory.  Surf for the desperadoes today but there is always tomorrow.  


CHANNEL:  Gurgling and burping along mini rollers in the Channel proper.  Not sure if they are surfable as the lineup is rightfully empty.  Looks thigh high and janky with not much shape or length to the potential ride.  Not windy though and that is a bonus.  Good day to shop for a a board as we filled the rack yesterday.  
 


PATCH:  Yes to fishing.  No to surfing.  Maybe for canoes, kayaks and touring SUPs as well.  Flat conditions with a dropping tide.  Check back tomorrow.
