Daily Surf Report - 9/14/2014



Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
"We do not remember days, we remember moments” - Cesare Pavese

Corgi Puppy Cam is Live Folks!

The ocean couldn't grace us with glassier conditions this morning, nor could it grace us with any swell. The horizon is a spectacle to behold as it is crystal clear and stretches as far as the eye can see, almost clear enough to see the Farallons. High cloud bank is holding in the cooler air as it is 60F as of now, but bound to heat up as the sun is already trying its best to break through. As for the surf, it is lake Bolinas out there with occasional waves in the ankle range coming through. Hopefully later today we can expect improvement with a different tide. If today isn't to your liking, stay tuned later this week as another hurricane is forming down off Baja and should be making swell push on up here in the midweek.

CHANNEL: Smallest of small ankle high sets rolling through infrequently in front of the groin pole. Not much in the middle channel or over on Seadrift. Keep your fingers crossed for a better tide and some more push later today.

PATCH:  Not a ripple as the tide is starting to go back out to a moderate high Low tide. Occasional lump rolls through that may or may not break on its way to the inside. Great spot to meditate and channel your inner peace this morning.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:  
"In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion.” -Albert Camus


Glassy and calm.  Crystalline clear with views to the razor sharp horizon.  Unblemished by a ripple or undulation.  Get too close and fall off the edge of humanity.  Flat as far as the eyes can see.  Lowering tide and soft swell has it on government shutdown for surfing exploits at the moment.  Buoys show meager NW windswell and fading S swell that has given us a few waves during the day but this morning NOT.  Temp is 61F with coastal overcast and no wind.  Sun will appear and shine brightly soon and the day will be beautiful.  Exceed you expectations in other pursuits today and hope for better surfing conditions in the near future.  
CHANNEL:  Only the small NW windswell to generate surf this morning and what it is offering up is less than knee high and choppy lefts off the groin bar.  1 SUP on it doing whatever SUPs do on flat days.  Possibly later today on the incoming tide push we might see something a little more recognizable as a surfing wave but now for the desperadoes and weekend warriors only.  Perfect conditions for beginners!!  


PATCH:  Seamlessly flat without a bump or lump to gaze upon.  Long, lonely lulls from which to contemplate the meaning of life and wait for the ocean to gurgle up a rideable wave.  Get out there and make it happen.  Conjure up the spirits beneath and ask for something more.  Give back two-fold and you may be rewarded now.  No takers and set waves detonate at ankle high.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day: 
“Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.” – Elbert Hubbard


“How sweet the morning air is! See how that one little cloud floats like a pink feather from some gigantic flamingo. Now the red rim of the sun pushes itself over the cloud-bank. It shines on a good many folk, but on none, I dare bet, who are on a stranger errand than you and I. How small we feel with our petty ambitions and strivings in the presence of the great elemental forces of Nature!” 

Temp is 59F and air is calm.  Full sunshine and beautiful yesterday and the same is expected today.  Inland heat wave for the next 3 so the beach is the place to be.  South swell pulsing but it has been tidally dependent.  Water levels a bit low now but starting the turnaround for the rest of the day so eyes open to endless positive possibilities.  Find the best that nature has to offer and as always - ABIDE.


 CHANNEL:  Low tide and NW windswell offering up soft waves in the near knee high dimension.  A few longboarders out there now and the incoming tide push could enhance the experience in the next hour.  Loggable lefts and rideable rights are available for the long board and good paddler.  Ride now and ride later for the best results.


PATCH:  Lonely SUP well outside waiting for that S swell set.  Flatness prevails during the lulls and water levels are low.  Not much happening now but later should start to turn on with more water.  Fun sized and good period S swell showing on the buoys and just needs time to wake up and filter in. Hike now and pull out the log later for the smooth comfortable ride.

S swell starting to pulse in the Patch.  Go Surf!

Inspirational crystal quote of the day: 
“What separates us from the animals, what separates us from the chaos, is our ability to mourn people we’ve never met.” – Author David Levithan


Solemn and quiet day as we remember 9/11 on the 13th anniversary of the fateful day that changed so many lives.  Overcast and quiet morning with only the dreamers and schemers in the water at the moment.  Temp 60F and likely not to move much above this number today.  Not much happening in the ocean as swells have diminished and morning tides are low.  Still a few people in the water getting that good feeling to start the day and a dip in the salty brine can only enhance awareness and stoke.  Lots of fog that may not burn off today.  Inland pursuits may be more rewarding but keep hope alive for the next round of wave action to grace our beaches.


 CHANNEL:  Very little yet just enough to get 8 longboarders suited up and out there.  Find your inner enthusiasm and go venture forth as well.  Just knee high windswell waves to work with but if it gets you motivated have at it.  Channel, Groin or Seadrift areas all sharing similar conditions.  Tide is incoming and could help with a little extra push but small and meager are the words of the day.


PATCH:  Outside flatness with 1 SUP touring it.  Inside knee breakers that might get the big boards moving.  No takers on surfing right now but more water can change this perception.  Try wait and if conditions greatly improve we will update you here.

Well people, not much happening on lake bolinas today. Maybe a good day to stay home and get caught up on some cartoon watching. Sleeping in may be a good option also. But if the sun does come out, it will be a beautiful to hang out on the beach. Right now it is overcast with a temp of 60F. The sun is making an effort to break through the clouds. Lets keep our fingers crossed for changed conditions on the horizon when the tide changes and the fog burns off. 


 CHANNEL:Nothing, nada, nill. Not much happening with no one out and a low tide. If you stare long enough you may see a small ripple of hope roll in.


PATCH: Ditto. Well, what else is there to say. One SUP paddling around and around and around. Pray for waves at a better tide.

  We will be closing at 4:30pm today. Doors re-open at 9am tomorrow.

Sleepy days, cozy days, reading days. All things that can describe this morning here in Bo. It's overcast with a faint breeze that makes for a perfect morning to sit atop that floor heater with a blanket, some Calvin and Hobbes comics and a steaming cup of hot chocolate (with extra marshmallows of course). Air temps are at 59F as we say adios to the south swell that was so kind to grace us with her presence the last few days. As for right now it is lake Bolinas with no one out and only our hopes and dreams for improvement later today with a different tide. So maybe stay in bed and sleep in, take a bike ride, go hiking, or just relax on the sand (also pray for some sun).


CHANNEL: Nothing breaking but the slight ripple where the exposed sandbar meets the ocean. No one out and only hopes of a better tide and a sneaky swell. Best bet is to wait til further notice. 


PATCH:  One guy out meditating out past the meeting rock and occasionally paddling to a different area in hopes of some better luck. Nothing breaking here either, but it is a more hopeful spot than the channel for later today with the tide.

"If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of." - Bruce Lee

Small but promising today. If conditions are anything like yesterday, we are in for an epic afternoon. Slightly overcast in BoBo this morning with a temp of 59. Not much wind blowing. Swell is on the small side as the tide finds her way out. Conditions should improve on the changing tide. A small crowd has already appeared on the horizon. Bring you long boards out today for some good old Bolinas fun.
 

CHANNEL:The SW swell has calmed down a little today producing mid shin to slightly higher than knee high waves.A few people out at the middle channel to the groin pole working what mother nature will allow.


 PATCH: More consistent waves in the knee high range rolling through this morning as a hand full of souls work the conditions this morning.Bring your larger water craft out for some classic fun.This seems to be the spot to be this Monday morning.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day: 
"Step with care and great tact ,and remember that life's a great balancing act." - Dr. Seuss

Swell is here, swell is here, swell is here. Beautiful rights and lefts are peeling through this morning as the sun is coming out and air temps are reaching for the mid 60s already. Not much wind to speak of and what there is, is offshore. A crowd is already out in force and parking is already passing the shop. Get here quick before parking goes extinct and the swell disappears!

CHANNEL: Comboing SW and NW swells are creating very workable waist high waves in front of the groin pole and in the middle channel. Not as much on Seadrift side, but stay tuned as the tide comes in a bit more. About 20 guys and gals on various watercraft out and about doing their things.

 PATCH:  The spot to be this morning. Waist high waves are breaking way outside the meeting rock and effortlessly connecting to the inside Snags section. What seems to be about 50 logs out (maybe an exaggeration, but you get the point) all gliding their way into shore and paddling back out again. Whatever you decide to day, best make up your mind quick and get here.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day: 
"Never assume that because a man has no eyes, he cannot see." - Master Po


Sneak peaky SW swell showing on the buoys and starting to fill in with the incoming tide.  Residual NW windswell still activated and angles allow for both spots to break and have waves today.  Not EPIC like last week and that was a once in 20 year phenomenon - but Bo-beautiful and rideable for your longboarding desires.  See what is un-shown and unravel the current conditions to suit your future needs.  Find peace in the ocean and happiness will be at your hand today.  Currently coastal overcast with very light wind and temp at 61F.  Sun and mildness on tap for the afternoon and water levels are getting good to hold some surf through the weekend. 



CHANNEL: Combo swell waves generating glideable lefts outside the Groin pole that hold shape and bend into the beach.  Size is thigh to waist high and fairly consistent.  A few go right and will connect inside at Mali-Bo with the incoming tide push.  Lefts deeper in the Channel not too shapely but Seadrift rights may be the ticket today if you want to ride a little shorter board.  Whatever your wishes are can be met today and exceeded.  Remember - there are numbers higher than 1.


 PATCH: S swell rollers coming through at waist high or better on the outside.  Fold over waves that can take you for a short or long ride depending on mood.  Inside rights peel and reel towards shore at breakneck speed and have good shape and form.  Partial credit is always allowed so ride a piece here and another piece there.  Celebrate the surf and spread some stoke.  As swell fills in this will be the spot.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day: 
"What do you hear?  I hear the grasshopper." - Master Po and Caine


Unlock the mystery today and stay tuned for more SW swell.  Not now but later.  When is the mystery.  The answer lies within.  Overcast but calm morning with little wind and temp in at 60F.  Clear skies more likely today with mild temps as well.  A bit on the high tide side of things and new swell not quite up the coast yet.  Everyone gearing and frothing for greatness and glory.  Accept what the ocean gives and you will always be routinely rewarded.  Now just NW windswell with a few loggable waves to ride.  Plenty of shoredumpers and wall smashers to spice things up as well.  Try wait!
CHANNEL: Windswell waves of the thigh high configuration coming through Mali-Bo and on the Groin side with the incoming tide push.  A bit chopped but enough to move a longboard towards the beach.  Not too clean or lean but something out there and 4 surfers are battling for supremacy now.


 PATCH: A few peaks breaking outside near the submerged meeting rock and being ridden going right by a crew of 5.  Waves have some smoothness and SW swell precursors may pop up here and there as we get ready for a new dose of juice.  A bit high tidey but still workable and rideable and glideable this morning.  Get of the wall and out into the water friends - all the good stuff happens in the water.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day: 
"It is not ignorance but knowledge which is the mother of wonder." - Joseph Wood Krutch


Grim and grizzly morning with a bit of S wind whipping fog in your face.  Still a day worth exploring opportunities for wonder and joy.  Don't look, just leap into the water today and find that happy wave to put a smile on your face.  Buoys starting to show new S swell that should be kicking in and a decent amount of NW windswell in play.  Winds putting that bumpy texture on things but there are surfers in the water and a few waves to ride.  Temp now 61F and sun is a mystery.  More surf is always on the way but you have only today to cherish.
CHANNEL: Textured rollers as the tide fills in.  Inside the Groin pole and in the Channel a pod of surfers reaps the benefits.  Thigh to waist high bumps that have enough push to get you towards shore but not much shape to work with.  Good water levels here and if winds go slack it should clean up and work well.


 PATCH: Solitary surfer in the Patch working the rights at the Snags.  Not much action and size is thigh high but when you have it to yourself it can be special.  New S swell should turn on here the only question is when.

Happy hump day Bolinas. Not much happening on the surf front this morning. Mother ocean seems to be taking a break this morning in our little piece of heaven. Over cast with a slight onshore breeze texturing the water today. Keep your fingers and toes crossed that the sun comes out and the swell picks up.

 CHANNEL: Lake bolinas. Slight texture with nothing happening and nobody out. Hopefully later today with the tide shift conditions get better. 


PATCH: Same scenario out at the patch. No one out and nothing coming through. Words of the day: pray for surf.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day: 
"The future starts today, not tomorrow." - Pope John Paul II 

It's as if mother nature knows when the festivities are over. After a sunny holiday weekend and many a fun time, the fog has rolled back in encompassing the bay. No wind to speak of as the air temps are in the mid 50s and bound to stay around there today until the fog burns off if it does at all. Waves are still coming through in the knee to thigh high range with consistent lulls between sets. Nice day to sleep in and have some coffee, maybe read a book. 


 CHANNEL: Waves are breaking in the knee to thigh range in front of the groin pole and over in the middle channel. Not much over on Seadrift, but conditions are glassy all around. A handful of logs are out having fun with the lightest crowd we've seen all week. Bring your larger watercraft today. 


 PATCH:  Outside patch has rollers in the thigh high range that just keep rolling all the way to the inside Snags before breaking in the knee high range. No one is out, but it is glassy and rides are to be had especially after the tide shifts later this morning.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day: 
"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." - Aristotle 

Set your pens down, stop typing, and come on out to the beach to celebrate your day off, having worked hard all year. The sun greets us this Labor Day as we kick off the morning to another beautiful and fun day. The waves are coming through consistently as crowds are already congregating at both spots. Not a breath of wind as the air temps are in the mid 50s and heating up, bound to hit the mid 70s again today. Bring your logs, your families, and get here quick as parking is already becoming scarce and the beach is filling up. Don't forget your sunscreen, towel, and stoke! 


 CHANNEL: Waves are breaking in the knee to thigh range, cleanly peeling across in front of the groin pole. In the middle channel it's the same story with less of a crowd as of now. Over on seadrift a few rights are peeling through in the knee range and will hopefully pick up later today after the tide shifts. Bring your log and stoke as these waves are made for style and bliss.


 PATCH:  Waves breaking in the knee high plus range as they are rolling through from the meeting rock to the inside Snags. Some are able to connect all the way through, but as for now it's one or the other. A small crowd of about 8 logs and 2 SUPs are out on a conveyor-belt of rides rotating in the peaceful morning. With the tide shift later this morning, we can expect improvement and more fun.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day: 
"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." - Confucius

Well Bolinas has finally returned to its more familiar self as the last little bit of the Hurricane Marie swell has died off. Bring all your biggest logs today as waves are back to that knee to thigh range all around. Air temps are at 59F and bound to heat up as  the sun is already out and showering us with its rays. The wind is still as of now and sheets of glass encase our bay. Crowds are already starting to form as we start the morning, so get here before the parking is gone and the beach is packed like sardines. Bring your sunscreen and come have some fun.

CHANNEL:  Small waves breaking in the knee to thigh high range as a handful of logs are riding and gliding in front of the groin pole. Over on Seadrift it is the same story minus the crowd. Fun waves all around that should only get better later in the morning and mid afternoon with the tide. In front of the boat ramp a few small waves are breaking and a few guys are out having fun getting slammed in the shorebreak. Whatever your choice is today, it'll be the right one. 

PATCH:  Small rollers making their way through today from the way outside and once breaking, are in the knee high range. About 4 logs enjoying their morning meditation and occasional ride. Longer to longest boards will be key today.

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing" - Socrates



Put them shortboards away fools and break out the logs.  MEGA Marie swell has dropped and surf is now back to a more manageable size.  Swell remnants are here but waves are now more conducive to your longer length water craft and energy levels are back to normal.  Amateurs and beginners rejoice!  Still have a full crowd pouring into town.  Parking is already at a premium and long walks to the beach are expected.  A beautiful morning with sunshine and blue skies making the early appearance.  Temp is 58F now and will get warm over the full holiday weekend.  Expect crowds and general madness and mayhem on land and in the sea.  Know your limits and have an ethos.  

CHANNEL:  Surfable and fun sized waves in the thigh to waist high size this morning.  Tide heading low but water levels are good all day and the waves are spread out from the Groin pole all the way across to the Seadrift community.  Lefts at the Channel now best suited for longboards and sectioned with medium length rides.  Lefts at the Groin a bit smaller but better shape and longer rides to the beach.  Seadrift has rights that may be best today with the current swells.  Enjoy the wealth and beauty in the ocean and go home with a smile on your face.


 PATCH:  Roly poly surf outside and well outside.  Longer boards for sure today as it is typical Patch stuff with thigh to almost waist high lumps trying to break on the lowering tide.  Inside waves will work at the Snags as well and size here runs knee to thigh.  It is working but you will need length to get in and maintain speed.  Rideable and glideable on the right equipment.  If you are coming up short swing by as our racks are full of boards that work.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day: 
"Search out your space, discover your solitude, and leave the turbulence of daily life behind." - Anonymous



Consistent swell staying in play and bringing out all the heavy hitters.  Ripping shortboarders, legendary loggers, retro hipsters, prone pipers and everyone in between.  Much more manageable, clean and rideable today but still has EPIC size for Bolinas and is breaking in spots yet un-named.  Be a hero in the making today by committing to the drop.  Speed to burn and turns a plenty can be the norm depending on your skill level and place in the pecking order.  Big swell spreads things out but lots of surfers in the water and parking is down to nil.  Tides are favorable throughout the day so call in sick to work and find your way to the beach NOW.  High overcast but relatively windless.  Temp 61F and we will have sun by noon-ish.  Grab your surfcraft of choice and jump in today.

CHANNEL:  Chest to head high lefts this morning that start deep in the Channel and remain at the Groin pole.  Not connectable but plenty of face to fly on at both spots.  Looks like Seadrift has cleaned up as well and is delivering rights to ride that have some size bigger than you are used to.   Expect plenty of paddling and the potential for injury and broken boards remains available as well.  Push limits but know limits as well.  Let the crystals guide as they always know best.


 PATCH:  Starting in front of the boat ramp and moving north into the far reaches of the Patch there are waves to ride.  Low tide has things pushed out towards the Farallons and size is chest to shoulder high.  Loggers rejoice as this is the good stuff for your single-fin contraption and we don't see surf like this on a regular basis.  Keep it kool and keep it klassy out there today.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"I'm like a walkin' razor, don't watch my size, I'm dangerous, yeah dangerous." - Peter Tosh


 Macking combo of S / SW and NW swells continues to pound Bolinas.  Could be considered EPIC - it is at least very big and overhead in most spots.  Some sets close out the beach and some waves pitch, fire, hold up and reel towards shore.  A true combo of everything Mother Ocean can throw at you today.  Overcast, 61F and no wind to help keep things smooth.  Should end up being a sun and surf spectacular later today.  Rabid surfers frothing to get in the water and all parking spots filling up.  Crowd of wall jockeys as well just to watch the spectacle in the water.  Not a day for amateurs or beginners and the corners are best for clean rides.


 CHANNEL: Head high + sets as the swell remains solid and in charge this morning.  Deep outside in the Channel and well beyond the Groin pole has surf breaking and rideable for any board or plank you desire.  Inside corner lefts are smaller at shoulder high + but have good shape and enough water to make turns and rip on.  Most are big drops, a turn and closeout but those that hold are are very surfable today.  Crowded but spread out with lots of water moving around and tide hitting low.  Know your ability levels and find a place in the lineup that suits your desires. 


PATCH: Scattered and sizeable at chest high with waves all over breaking and some actually being ridden.  Lots of tide pull sending surfers out and S to areas well out in front of the boat ramp.  More water should help clean it up a bit but for now there is surf here for most boards but not super clean.  More manageable conditions and better suited for beginners today.

Inspirational crystal quote of the day:
"In the end, it's the characters and company that turn activity into passion." - Claire Buchar 


 Days like these are what memories are made of, what we recall as one of the best moments of our year. It is mornings like this that we reminisce about for today is beautiful and joyous. The sun has just rose above the hills and skies are clear with no wind. And on top of that, the swell is Pumping. There is a solid 4ft S swell comboing with a 2-3ft NW that are creating some of the best surf all summer. Not only that, but the swell is expected to build and the tide is coming back in which should only improve the conditions. All watercraft are rideable today, from your biggest log to your smallest chip (though smaller boards that aren't fish-like will have a tougher time). Beginners be warned of the size today and know your limits. But regardless of surf, it is a perfect beach day so come on out and have some fun. 


 CHANNEL: Head high sets are breaking way out in front of the groin pole and peeling across almost all the way to the boat ramp as a crowd is already forming. The tide is just starting to come back in and should improve the conditions and the size is more than likely to reach that head high to overhead range. Seadrift isn't breaking as well yet, but with the tide expect some excellent rights to peel and reel through over there. 


 PATCH: Waist to chest waves are breaking, slightly jumbled, but consistent nonetheless. Should pick up later with the tide as it is just starting to come back in. Still a solid choice today and probably the best place for those absolute beginners.

"The surf waits for no man." - Anonymous 

Well people the surf gods are smiling on BoBo this morning blessing us with favorable conditions. Air temps this morning are 62F with clear to slightly cloudy skies. For the surf, get here. Waves are in the thigh high range all the way around. Just a few people in the water and no wind to speak of. The making of an ultra classic morning.


 CHANNEL: Thigh high lefts breaking in front of the groin pole peeling into little almond barrels. Middle channel has a few rights rolling into the sea drift side. Smooth and clean conditions with only a few guys out this morning. Get here!!!!!   
PATCH: Different story. Knee high peaks jumbled and rolling over the shallow rocks as one brave soul challenges the patch this morning. Still clean surface conditions but no order. Could possibly be the hot spot later in the day.
