Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:  "Why didn't I learn to treat everything like it was the last time? My greatest regret is how much I believed in the future." - Jonathan Safran Foer


We find a heavy fog and a chilly breeze as we survey the village this morning. Minimal conditions with yards of beach visible as of now. Dogs chase sticks and tennis balls, but these are the only creatures enjoying the water currently. The fog should dissipate, but slide-able shapes will take waiting on the tidal push as the day rolls by.

CHANNEL: A single ray of sun shines through the mist, as if to make real our hopes and desires for improved conditions. Patience is the key today friends, as only the most miniscule action pushes towards the shore.

PATCH:   Paddles in hand is the modus operandi this fine morning, as so many stand and gaze longingly at the patch. If there is to be any action harvested from the sea's bounty, it shall be found here, but only with a marked increase in power and water volume. Keep an eye on the tides and pray for slides and rides...

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:  "In this bright future you can't forget your past." - Bob Marley


Foggy morning out here. Nice and crisp at 52F and hopefully growing  near yesterday's heat at 80+F.  Parking is a plenty and there seems to be a building crowd in the water. 

CHANNEL: Quiet envy in the minds of the surfers who are imagining perfect conditions. Looking on the smaller side today but like yesterday will likely pick up throughout the day. Currently about knee high between the channel and out front. 
 

PATCH:   Crowds gathering at the patch to enjoy the last of the weekend. Not a ton of waves but the ones that are coming through look fun. Small as usual but not bad shape. Knee+ right now but we are praying for surf.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day: "When I was growing up, my family was so poor we couldn't afford to pay attention." - Mr. T


Super sunny and bright this morning with a nice temperature of 55F to start this lovely day. Plenty of beach to go around but not enough parking spaces. All sun and smile today, the water looks crisp and fun. Absolute perfect March day, come enjoy this glorious day and bring your crystals.


CHANNEL:  Not much action as of now, looks like some rip is coming through. Sea drift semi-working. Knee high and almost consistent. Only a few surfers out there right now but should see a crowd later on when the swell picks up.


PATCH:   Looking like the desired destination today, maybe 15 heads bobbing as of now. Water working at knee+ and constant. May grow as the day does, in size and in glory.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"Now that you know it's nowhere, what's to stop you coming home?"-Graham Nash


A bright and full morning with a currently chilly 44 degrees as we greet the day. All parking spots are full as so many of the faithful attempt to make a session from the offerings this morning. Solid shapes are observed, and are being ridden, but a lack of power is still the dominant paradigm. The water levels will be the biggest factor today, so abide the charts and fill your soul with joy...


CHANNEL:  Little to report on this side of the ramp, as the channel seems preoccupied with putting at night with the daughter of the dean, just putting and puttering. Little of consequence is afoot, although shapes are visible, and more volume is just what the doctor ordered.



PATCH:   More than the 25 man roster has reported for spring training on this fine day, as the patch is the place to be. Holding shape and packing a punch as rides measured in yards are being had. Be wise, as the crowds are very real, but get in and get some...

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"All wisdom ends in paradox." - Jeffrey Eugenides


A morning on which to marvel and exclaim the beauty of the universe. A light fog is being vaporized as the mercury reads 50 degrees and climbing towards an afternoon perfection. The swell from the south has begun to arrive and is providing and abiding in mild but solid ways. Dozens of bodies already taking advantage and parking in nil at present. Though the tide is still rising, access for now is easy as Sunday Morning, though keep an eye out...


CHANNEL:  Though much the realm of those with paddles, a vigilant horde is catching long rides, though some power is still lacking. Far outside shapes are holding, though the sets have time and distance between. This is an area of prime potential, as we progress into the afternoon. Keep the chi aligned and the third eye open...



PATCH:   This is reason to rejoice, as the multitudes have discovered already today. Steeper shapes than the usual fare are being enjoyed by some and shredded by a select few, but offerings are plentiful. Though, again, power is somewhat less than ideal, given the lackluster conditions of the past days, this looks like the making of a day of stoke. Watch the tides, however, as too much water may be your enemy....

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning." - Albert Einstein



The fog has lifted to reveal a glorious, if chilly morning here in the BO. Light winds from the SW and sunny skies as we gaze out to a very calm sea.  Little of consequence today, as not even the most desperate sliders are out and about. The only action taking place is the tide careening through the angles and slopes of the boat ramp...


CHANNEL:  Though patient observation reveals shapes in motion, they have not the charge on which we rely. Sets are few and far between, and are lacking the follow through of the home run swing. The movement this morning is minimal and hollow, as if an echo.

PATCH:   Alas, merely changing one's point of view does next to nothing to change what is observed. There is very little shape, and even those with paddles in hand are not attempting slides and rides. Keep a patient eye to the west, as there are hopes for better conditions in just a matter of days...

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"No statement should be believed because it is made by an authority." - Robert A. Heinlein


Low cloud cover and a heavy humidity hang over the village this morning, as temps hover just under 50 degrees. Though many stalwarts of the sea were observed gazing longingly, those same souls found only dismay and disappointment this fine day, as the most meager of rollers is all that is on the menu currently. 


CHANNEL:  Oh, if only there were words to properly explain the futility. As we approach the morning high, even an excess of water is bringing nothing with it. No shapes, no form, no shoes, no service.

PATCH:   See the above. Add any colorful descriptive language as needed. Keep a PMA and a clear eye on the future, friends, but indulge another outdoor passion this fine day.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"I came, I saw, I conquered." -Julius Caesar


Glorious morning here in Bolinas. The sun is shining bright and the clouds have disappeared.  50F and Perfectly clear skies with an occasional breeze. The water is glassy and slick. Deep high tides will bring in lots of water but not too much surf. Keep expectations low and bring your lucky crystal and maybe get a few good rides.


CHANNEL:  A crowd building here, lots of logs sitting around. Knee high waves rolling through with the occasional waist high wall.Looks very smooth and beautiful but not too powerful

PATCH:   Ankle high curls rolling over themselves this morning. once in a while we will see a knee high but not looking consistent. only one brave soul with high hopes out there at the moment, but will probably be joined soon by others looking to get lucky.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"Start every day off with a smile and get it over with." - WC Fields


Magnificent day in many respects with chill air coming in at 47F.  Clear skies and sunshine above and minor puffs of wind not adversely effecting the vibe.  Birds do chirp a hopeful song and if expectations are kept extremely low they may be met or exceeded today.  Still battling the factor of not much ocean swell with NW windswell and an emerging S swell attempting to procreate and display wave offspring.   Deep high tide just recently peaked keeping it slow but accessible right now.  Use the third eye to see beyond reality and follow it to the waves of satisfaction.



CHANNEL:  A few rolly-polly lumps coming in with intentions of breaking with right hand slides.  Most continue to flow towards shore unbroken and those that bend and fold reveal knee high waves with less than lengthy sophistication.  The ocean is glistening and beautifully glassy just lacking the wherewithal to generate much in terms of rideable surf.  There are heads bobbing around the water and furious paddling attempts have yielding short but sweet endings. 


PATCH:   Shin burners and hair curlers as the Patch shows wide open expanses of unruffled ocean surface.  The semi-occasional right has been observed with heights best measured in inches rather than feet.  No takers at this time but lots of lookers on the wall plotting and planning on the perfect strike.  Let nature be your guide to outdoor endeavors with watery pursuits possibly later in the day.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power." - William James


Serenity Now as we experience utter peace and tranquility this morning.  A good day to be contemplative or sit on the sea wall and gaze to the far horizons.  Mind meld the conditions and imagine the wonderful possibilities of being a 6" tall human.  Temp slinks in at 54F with some underlying NW winds.  Overcast and unsettled times are upon us today.  Just NW windswell and very little of that.  Maybe a small hint of a background S swell on the buoys but next to nothing showing wave wise and nearly un-surfable at this time.   




CHANNEL:  Lake-like conditions with just 2 stand tall paddlers surveying the surface.  Currently best for touring and exploring but no waves to ride are evident.  Inside shore break mini tubes are worth watching but likely not surfing.  Out front at the Boat Ramp yields the only glimmer of hope, soon to be invaded by hordes of teens attempting to ride their first wave and throw shakas.  Let this be your morning visual and wait for better conditions in the future.   


PATCH:   No rulers to take accurate measurements but keen estimation reveals occasional ankle high waves in the middle Patch.  We'll call it jankle as our term of endearment.  Longing looks and hopeful prayers may summon a vision of hope but likely not going to respond to our desires today.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"Knowledge will give you power, but character gives respect." - Bruce Lee


Sweet and serene morning with spectacular sunshine upon us.  Temp in at 52F with currently no wind but predicted to change later.  Only a moderate NW windswell in play to deliver waves but there is just enough to entice and the day is stunning in many respects.  Early morning tide peak is on the way out leaving lots of beach access and rapidly diminishing water levels.  Strike while the iron is hot and hit in now or forever hold your peace when you arrive late.


CHANNEL:  Hide and seek lefts intermittently appearing off the Groin bar and seeking riders and solace in the shallows.  Weak and small with size ranging nearly up to thigh high but there is something worth logging if you dare.  Boat ramp waves directly out front still making an effort for supremacy and 2 shortboard wonder-stars are trying their luck upon waist high wave dumps. 



PATCH:   Knee high and clean with an earlier logger maximizing the potential.  Bobs and weaves, tip to the nose and solitary cruises heading right show this wave to be small but worthy or riding.  Water levels still remain positive with just a few rock tips starting to emerge.  Follow the early lead and ride this wave.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"A somebody was once a nobody who wanted to and did." - John Burroughs


A slight chill hangs in the morning air as we find 43 degrees currently with stunningly clear skies and only a mellow zephyr blowing. As we gaze out towards the ocean, a large swath of beach is visible and access is prime, but very low water levels are making for only minimal rollers as of now. As the tide comes in, there may be a window of opportunity, so consult your favorite oracle, align your chi, and look towards the luncheon hour... 


CHANNEL:  Ankle biters and no sliders as we look left from the ramp. The current water level has the groin pole on a sandy beach, and little more is evident as of now. More water and power is what we seek...



PATCH:   Lonely knee high shapes rolling slowly towards exposed rock currently. Ye olde patch should provide more favorable sights to be seen later in the day, but not as of yet. Keep a watchful eye on the tides and clock, and fortify yourself this morning with strong tea and positivity...

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things." - Maria Rilke


Brisk winds blow through the quiet streets and are greeted by 50 degrees and clear skies this fine morning. Those same breezes, however, are mixing with very low water levels to make for less than ideal conditions. Watch the tides with a full soul and open heart, as more volume may provide shapes for sliding, but the wind continues to be the largest variable. It is another day of beauty here, but perhaps not one made for slides and rides.




CHANNEL:  Wind strewn whitewater and chop with little volume pushing in as there are many yards of sand visible this morning. The gulls and pelicans are the only forms observed taking rides. Look for higher waters to bring some shape, but alas, nothing of size is projected.


PATCH:   A half dozen souls, mostly those with paddles in hand, are seen this AM, but even they are finding rides few and far between, as they dance between the crags and exposed rocks. They few rollers seen to have a solid shape to them, but there is little power to push towards the shore. A solid eye may find slides here later in the day, so be vigilant.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold." - Bob Marley


Chilly and crisp starting the morning today. 50F and crystal clear skies. The day is looking to warm up nicely for a perfect beach day. Strange tide at work right now, the only rideable surf coming from right out front the boat ramp. About knee to maybe waist high and changing with the incoming tide. Good day to bring a log but if you do not have one the sea has provided plenty of drift wood to ride instead. Looks like an over all lovely day for the beach.  Set your sights on the farthest horizon and follow all your dreams today.



CHANNEL:  Not enough water in the channel right now to do much, White water crumbling in around the groin pole. Should shape up later in the day with some easy riders but as of now there is no sign of life.


PATCH:  Not so much here either, rocks peeking and feeling lonely. Only action in the water is right out front. Will likely spread across to the patch later when the water fills in after the high tide.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly." - Langston Hughes


A cool, calm and collected vibe permeates the town today as the air is crystal clear and the temp slinks in at 45F.  Blue skies dominate the atmosphere above and birds sing a morning song of hopeful joy.  Winds are nil leaving a smooth ocean canvas with micro-lines upon the surface.  A small but long period S swell is trying to make its presence known and felt today.  Low water levels are playing havoc with the efforts but the turnaround is in place and tide push will help.  Still a touch of NW windswell remaining to keep everyone honest.  Waves can be had if you practice patience and persistence today.



CHANNEL:  A bit chopped as the tide hits low.  Now filling in but will need a few contemplative moments to compose itself.  More water is needed but the swell is in place to allow for small lefts off the Groin bar that should shape up throughout the day.  Now just in the almost knee high size and dominated by too much sand and not enough liquid.  Still have the boat ramp wave action to keep an eye on.  Mind the deep high tide which will swamp it out then the outgoing rip which will tear it the shreds.  Timing is everything today.
 


PATCH:  Calf burners and rocky outcroppings are the early morning rewards.  Needs a few hours of incoming tide to shake things up and settle things down.  Now lots of beach access for Corgi walks and treasure hunting.  S swell will show here today and loggers delight is quite possibly in play.  Huddle with a warm morning beverage now and watch the tide fill in.

"We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them." - Christian Nestell Bovee


In-between days as the fog tamps the wind down but the swell has retreated.  We are left with only a fading S and a hint of NW windswell to contend with.  Overcast and foggy but temperate at 54F.  Glassy ocean and smooth but maybe a bit too glassy for surfing pursuits.  Still a few waves to hunt and seek just not in the usual spots.  Find the happy place to set the positivity flowing.  Layer in some joy and love for good measure and start your day with a smiling face. 


CHANNEL:  Smooth with small surf as tide begins to flow back in.  Low water levels make access a breeze but not much swell to push the aqua around.  Knee high lefts fire off the Groin bar with feather-like ferocity.  Big boards can make it work but the rewards are currently short traveled and short lived.  Out in front of the boat ramp rears a wave from unfathomable depths to come breaking upon a motley crew of early morning wave sliders.  Options include lefts and rights.  Size shows waist high potential.  Length is best imagined then witnessed in person.  
 


PATCH:  Getting off to a slow start and needing a morning espresso to wake up.  Low tide starting to fill in and swell activity remains palpable yet minimal.  Micro-slider waves that push up to ship-stern knee crunching heights are being observed but mostly not ridden.  More water will be the key component here today and the extra tide push may tip the scales in favor of an afternoon glide.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." - T. S. Eliot


Peaks and valleys as the tide plays roller coaster roundup today.  Coastal overcast and a calm chill vibe emits an energy palpable over the town this morning.  No winds, 54F and a glassy ocean is out there for the adventurous soul.  A bit of combo action as SW swell + N windswell join forces and offer up some wave possibilities today.  Incoming tide getting the water levels just right but mind the high peak as it will swamp out then the outgoing rips and will take you on a journey less desirable than most. 


CHANNEL:  Smoothness with the occasional thigh / waist high left roller coming through at the Groin bar.  Incoming tide also starting to push into Mali-Bo and micro rights are emerging there to be ridden by the fortunate few.  3 glider sliders are on it early.  A boat ramp wave also exists for the quick drop and turn run with lefts or rights with minimal yardage to travel.  Get it now before the lunch time peak washes everything away and makes access a diplomatic mess.  
 


PATCH:  As the morning tide pushes in waves are developing mid-way out in the Patch.  Rights that rear up as first then allow for the smooth cruise are being ridden by a motley logger crew.  More water will equal more waves and push the peak outside as well.  For now there are rides to be had and size runs up to waist high +.  Fate may be your guide today but keep the Patch on your radar.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:
"We are afraid of the enormity of the possible." - Emile M. Cioran


A chilly mist hangs over the village this morning, as light onshore breezes blow up the avenues and the thermometer seems stuck at 55 degrees. A quiet desperation hangs over the boat ramp as eyes scan the horizon for shadows and movement. Alas, as of now, the sea reveals very little, and tells even less. There is reason for some ray of hope, as less water may benefit our shoreline, but that remains to be seen. The morning should be spent with classic literature, an adored companion, and good tea...


CHANNEL:  Less like an ocean, and more like a moat...Little activity of merit is seen, and as we approach peak tide, water levels are too high for even the most needy of sliders to be out and about.
 


PATCH:  As is becoming a trend, this may be the only possibility this fine day. As the water recedes into the luncheon hour, shapes of some variety should be seen, but observe with care, as the window for sliding may be small today. Check the charts with a full heart and optimistic eye...
