Inspirational Quote Of The Day:   

"Walking with a friend in the dark is better than being alone in thee light." - Helen Keller

58*f right now but feeling as warm and happy as ever that I made it to work alive. Yes, life and death are out of our hands but my beat 1971 ford is not necessarily making me feel at ease, as it wants to be a convertible but has not fully converted yet. IF you want to surf, there is surf. If you want to buy me some new tires, you can do that as well.
Peaceful prophesies this morning, with an impenetrable calm, a handful of people out drinking it in, and a little line or two on the horizon.

CHANNEL:  From deep with in the underbelly of the lagoon comes a thing so slimy, so salty, so green. The kale monster. Pay your respects, as the kale monster refuses life long health or passage to the waist high lil' rippers to anyone caught making a fool of them self. 

PATCH:  Looking even better than my bell bottom corduroys are the lines you can draw and the trimming you can taste out there today. Tidal influence is always a factor... posted below only for you. Get it if you think you are worthy. Respect all.

Inspirational Quote Of The Day:   

"Leap, and the net will appear." - John Burroughs

Freaky and frisky as real rain falls, winds remain light and SW swell peaks and pumps.  Combo this with fading NW swell and the town buzzes with frenzied surfers jonesing to hit the water on all manner of aquatic craft.  Consistent and crafted surf is upon us and tides have favorable and positive dimensions throughout the day.  Parking is already nil and lineups grow thick with humanity.  Keep your egos checked and your thoughts pure as you relish in the goodness that has descended upon us today.  

CHANNEL:  Sizzling slides as sandbars are primed and charged for greatness.  Tenacious lefts that loop and bend towards a tubular finish.  Rights that roam and range into deeper waters before fading off.  Inside sections that can be connected and compartmentalized into rejuvenated waves.  Enough for all and something for everyone here today.  Size is up and approaching shoulder high or dare I say almost head range? The gravitational pull is luring many this direction and for good reason as most all boards will work well today. 


PATCH:  Outside Patch is where the daring and determined flock.  Worth the wait for SW swell pulses which can pour out peaks up to chest high or better.  Rearing up then pulling back but allowing for smooth drops and long rights departing from Neptune's Cave.  Midway and inside domains are chock full of water and show signs of rollicking rollers which are diminished in size yet have more form and delicious sweep.   Fear not the rocks today as they shall remain covered and at rest.  Let it all hang out and push past your fears and limits - if you dare.

Inspirational Quote Of The Day:   

"Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence." - Buddha

Perma-drizzle as we kick off a balmy day in the hamlet by the sea.  Humid and moist with 62F on the radar.  Attempts at sun and warmth will take a determined effort and remain a mystery to unravel.  A calm and glassy ocean invites and is awaken with the promise of energy from far off destinations.  Composite swells align and complement bringing out slides for all and those with true hearts.

CHANNEL:  An organized and efficient bump in the water spinning glassy cylinders off into the mist.  Smooth lefts off reformulated Channel bars have log riders seeking sleek slides that reveal all the shape a foggy morning can deliver.  Past peak high tide has Mali-Bo on hold but the Groin bar churns while the Channel burns.  Seadrift efforts will not go un-rewarded as rights with purpose have been discovered and unveiled.  A pod of 6 are feeling fine here with smiles for miles.


PATCH:  Deep destinations will yield the bigger waves as well outside shows signs of a true S swell in the water.  Better waves may actually reside inside as with a full tide and all rocks covered the rollers can strut and slink along the craggy bottom.  Strike now while the ocean is full as receding waters will take with it the shape and strength we all so desire.  Bring your big board and high hopes - you will reveal you true self today.

Daily Surf Report - 7/8/2015

Inspirational Quote Of The Day:   

"Perhaps all human interaction is about wanting and getting." - David Mitchell

We begin this day like so many others in the village, with a fine mist that feels like a baptism and a heavy grey fog. A muggy 61 degrees, with intentions of rising only slightly. The zephyrs are calm currently, but look to have other plans for the afternoon. The time for enlightenment will rely on the volume and power of the tides, so take heed brothers and sisters, and know that the need is immediate and distant, all at once.

CHANNEL: A morning where Malibu dreams are seemingly confused with Mali-Bo realities. A first glance upon the seas may fill one's soul with all sorts of possibilities, until the shapes upon the sea reveal their true nature, which is all over but the shouting, and all over now, baby blue. Selling to the bare walls, all items on closeout. Though a noble group of swashbucklers are gaining slides, the duration hardly seems worth the effort. Though worth close study, do not hang your hopes here, friends.


PATCH: The souls with eyes on the Patch will need to bring strong shoulders and a strong constitution this fine morn, as the shadows you seek are on a far horizon. Well past the usual areas of stoke, slides of some consequence are being had. Waist-plus, though inconsistent, the trained and watchful eye is digging for gold, and finding nuggets worth bringing on home. The time is now, or much later, as the waters are already beginning to recede even at this early hour.

Inspirational Quote Of The Day:   

"I am not lazy. I am on energy saving mode." - Mother Earth 

A SW breeze brings a smile to anyone's face after the choppy waters that plagued yesterday's surfers. With calm waves, low tide and a temperature of 62F it calls for a relaxing day out in the boonies of the ocean. There is more than enough room for a walk on the beach but hopes of a better surf are left to Mother Nature. Let us all pray she blesses us with a tide that encloses her rocky teeth, and her own groin. 

CHANNEL:  The loneliness of the Groin Pole is as painful as that of a pulled groin; yet there still remains hope for those whom cruise out into the unknown. With thigh high waves and a pressure of a soothing massage a handful of riders bask in the early morning bath. There still remains hope for this area as lunch time passes - a day for smiles, relaxation, and Bolinas waves - but don't forget...it is Bolinas. 


PATCH: Protruding rocks line the arena leaving little surf except for the daring few who venture out into the unknown hoping to catch the timid waves. Reaching knee high at best, it beckons those whom care for an easy, short ride. But be wary the teeth of Mother Earth await those whom dare to adventure too close to the shore.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things." - Leonardo da Vinci

Hopes and dreams drift away with the tide this morning along with the sand and the water. Low tide pushing us to our limits in patience and fortitude . A current temperature of 62F and foggy skies reminds of where we are. Bolinas beach looking lonely and grey. If you are looking for where water meets sky, you will not see it here. Grey as far as the eye can see. 

CHANNEL:  Sand bars exposed and not planning on covering themselves for the next hour. Groin pole standing alone in the channel this morning with no company. Not even a crab or a bird. No luck here but rumors continue to spread of yesterday's chest high set coming in during the early evening. Best bet is to wait and see for yourselves. 


PATCH: Yet again we see rock exposure but will be filling in after 9:20am. Few come to see and watch and wait. Messy sets of knee high waves seem to be entertaining the easily amused. Long periods of waiting here. Still needs more water for greater experience.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity." - Edgar Allen Poe

A slick and slippery road brings you here today on this lovely July morning. Dark skies and wet air rule the day. Morning mist coming down a little harder than usual today keeping most campers indoors. With a current temp of 62F it feels muggy. Low tide just hit leaving the rocks out to get some air. Swells are not working all too well at the moment either. Looks like a great day to stay inland and keep warm though the afternoon vibes have been aligning positively. 

CHANNEL: White water swirling resembles a washing machine. Sloshing around in the mess is a piece of driftwood that looks like it is not having the best of times. Not waves here due to low tide and stormy weather. The only proof of existence is seen by hungry pelicans protecting the Groin sign.  Approach with caution and reservation.


PATCH:  Rocks causing a bit of trouble as they take up the entirety of the patch. The only puddle of water more than waist deep is claimed by a few SUPs and logs. Choppy here still, nevertheless a small amount of brave souls accept the challenge. Knee high at best.  As tides advance so shall conditions.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life." - Mahatma Gandhi

An emerging sun warms a day set for excitement and explosive celebration.  Settled calm in the village about to be shattered into oblivion by a swelling population and masses beyond count.  A quiet storm about to rain down with antics and attitudes that will span the gamut of experience.  A battle for strength and supremacy will kick the festivities off and for those seeking Serenity Now - Bolinas may not be on your destination list today.   If you are  desiring of ocean slides the day has potential but true fireworks will take place on land today. Draining tide will mix with NW windswell and a new SW swell but not enough ingredients to add the full flavor one seeks.  For those up early and cracking the dark precursor blips have favorable shape and palpable energy.  The day will grow long with sunshine and warm temps.  Saddle up and ride as the experience will only help to fortify the future. 




CHANNEL:  Ripped and raunchy as the bottoming tide causes mayhem and sand shifting of an unholy configuration.  Pelicans have staked claim and are occupying the Groin wall and exposed sandbars.  Whitewater frenzy and no shapes of consequence can be observed and only short glances are appropriate.  Seadrift exposures seem to moderate the current atmospheric conditions and take the NW windswell in like a lost traveler.  More water is the key to unlock the secret but the answer may not be what you hope to find.


PATCH:  Early morning water levels giving hints and wafts of what can and may be.  The truly conspired have arrived to reap small benefits from SW destinations.  Now the rocks show in full force and a governmental shutdown is in progress.  Less than no water makes for less than no waves and the search continues for that one solid ride.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"I like crazy people, especially those who don't see the risk." - John Lydon

A deep calm settles over the village as we greet the morning and an unwelcome mugginess. Currently 60 degrees with a rising mercury and rising seas. Though current activity levels leave much to be desired, parking is already at a premium, and will remain that way all weekend. Though the ocean tells so many of us what we already know, it appears the message is not finding purchase in the minds of the determined and disturbed this fine day. Though the holiday vibe is upon us, a swell is not, so know which experience you seek, and find it justly.



CHANNEL:  Islands in the stream. That is what we are. As a lone figure in black bobs amongst the pelicans, the only puzzlement is why. Spiral jetty vectors as large patches of sand are all that is visible. Though higher water levels may hold potential, only time will tell. 


PATCH:  A barren patch at this early hour should speak volumes to those who hear the true word. A quality calm and a manufactured stillness are what one finds available. A true test of timing and will is what you will find on tap. Fancy a pint?

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Balmy and inviting morning as temp looms in at 61F.  Magical mist swirling and shape-shifting amongst the peaks and valleys.  Wisps above and moving figures below cause pause and careful contemplation.  Logic may be defied but harsh realities must be approached head on.  Faint and fading swells are confounded by total lack of aquatic resources.  Sand islands emerge from the morass to lure a more detailed review.  Waves of consequence do not currently exist though a hint of potential lingers in the air.  A rising tide will help the cause yet like most revolutions will require patience and planning to achieve full results.


CHANNEL:  A close sandy bottom reveals contours upon which waves shall break in proper conditions - not currently present.  Supremely low tide has water levels below nil and what water flows and folds lacks both size and energy.  Careful planning may yield a more positive result as the Mali-Bo bar realizes water is to its liking.  For now we wait / watch / wonder.  


PATCH:  Wonderment to behold as with no water and all rocks at full attention there seems to be a wave navigating the cracks and crevices with knee high undulations.  Un-ridden and un-encumbered and rightly so as toe jammers and ding slammers are the norm under current conditions.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"In order to change the world, you have to get your head together first." - Jimi Hendrix

A chilly morning mist hangs over us this morning as we begin to awaken. The morning temp is currently 59F but if yesterday were to repeat itself the fog would burn off around lunch time. A party of sea lions cruise past the boat ramp guiding the eye to the channel where the only crowd gathers. The tide is rising as of now and will continue until 1pm. Pray for surf and hope for sun.


CHANNEL: Yet again a crowd waits for something to stand up on or at least belly ride. Not much momentum pushing making waves crumble after just moments. Ankle high here and luls seem to last a lifetime. May be better after lunch.


PATCH:  Not a soul is seen in this area. A rare sight for the Patch at this hour. Forlorn followers facing a stark reality. Rocks peeking up from the low levels of water but are beginning to cover up. Best option is to wait for more water. No sign of surf yet.

Daily Surf Report - 6/30/2015

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"The revolution that takes place in your head, nobody will ever see that." - Gil Scott-Heron

A balmy 58 degrees as we wonder what happened to the "Sunny California" from the postcards. A heavy mist hangs down, and brings with it an air of defeat and malice. The ample parking should relay volumes with regard to current conditions, but this revelation will fall largely on the vacant stares of the faithful and vigilant, as a small gathering of the suited and booted still seek slides of import. As the hours roll forward, the sun may make itself known, and the prince of tides should bestow marginally improved conditions, but know the battle that faces you, friends, and choose your weapon accordingly.



CHANNEL: A modest approach may yield benefits as the morning grows long, as the patient and grounded seek the current left. Though small in statue, the rake of said shape is providing those that know the steps the opportunity to dance for a moment, or perhaps longer. An increase in volume should make the inside of the marker an area to watch with the hawk's keen eye.


PATCH:  Always an odd sight to witness a barren patch at this hour, as even the vampire crew seems to be absent. Though marginal shapes show signs of shadow, and bounce water hither and yon, the shapes one truly seeks are absent. Though it is without doubt that there will be those who insist on donning the suit and seeking the stoke, there needs to be an understanding already in their hearts that the smiles should come from within. The ocean gives no quarter, and any time spent in it should be valued.

Daily Surf Report - 6/29/2015

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"Forever is composed of nows." - Emily Dickinson

Mixed tides, mixed feelings, mixed messages, and mixed metaphors as we greet a muggy morning here in the village. Currently 58 degrees and expected to rise as the clouds make their way inland as afternoon breaks. As is the custom, this day looks to you to determine what treasures are reaped from the sea. Will shapes that bring slide and stoke make themselves known? Yes, but with this knowledge needs to come an acceptance of the reality of our situation. Temper your expectations, center your chi, realize your target, and become one of many becoming one with the cool waters.


CHANNEL: A dynamic duo studiously chase a largely mythical left, as overall power is lacking, as if from a shoddy generator. With the right kind of vision, one can feel the possibilities as we approach the luncheon hour high tide, but these stalwarts are making something from almost nothing currently. The portions may be small, but if you choose to dine at the prime time, than the soul's reward you might find. 


PATCH:  As morning brings with it the usual suspects, and we find that mix of those who paddle on belly and knee as well as those with carbon sticks, the current lack of shape begs the question; what do you seek? The posse largely plays a waiting game, though  a single sniper is far outside, and reaping the benefits, with rides of many yards. With the tides as they are this fine day, and with our fair waters in general, arrival and departure times will be vital. The sun will shine, and shapes will form. They may not be the stuff of legend, nor helicopter's carrying photo and video jockeys, but smiles and satisfaction can still be yours, that's up to you.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them." - Ernest Hemingway

Fog covering the bay this morning letting the rabbits and squirrels roam freely and unnoticed and also leaving our beach cold and dim. No light showing from the sun as the summer weather seems to have forgotten about us today. Current outside temperature of 61F but the breeze giving off a bit of a bite. Likely some sun will show in the coming hours to thaw things out but may take a while for the fog to burn off. 


CHANNEL: A hopeful few gather and join in the waiting game. Incoming tide is bringing plenty of water with it. Knee to thigh high at very best. Not the most fun here it looks like, with sets coming inconsistently as combo double ups cause mass confusion. Water possibly more rideable during outgoing tide. Try wait.


PATCH:  Expectations running moderately high while yet another crowd blossoms here in the Patch. This is your destination today considering other poorly priced options. Rolling in at thigh high, your best bet is to find one long, slow ride at a time. Rights are in favor today coming in all the way to the sand. Still not super consistent but will fulfill your goal if hopes stay low.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings." - Salvador Dali

A conflicted morning as the summer weekend bodes and temps soar inland.  Coastal relief mandatory but what activities to undertake?  Continued light SW winds and miniscule swell serving up the slop today with current fare not up to most surfers liking.  Lookers / Lurkers / Lingerers are giving Mother Ocean the hard eye like she owes them money.  Fate may hang in the balance but a dip in the water usually cures all ailments.  Sun will and has been playing hide and seek so wear sunscreen and bring a heavy fleece.  Experience all that nature has to offer today and remember to leave no trace beyond lingering memories.


CHANNEL: Transitional outcomes as NW windswell battles with small scale and faint S swell to create much of nothing.  Moderate high tide pushing in relates to a very mild level change not conducive to exceptional results.  An UN-encumbered playing field awaits those with the fortitude to make a leap.  As best witnessed and determined - any and all boards will work poorly in the current slide options as size and energy remain sub-optimal.



PATCH:  A worthy option considering the choices as potential and possibility will count for partial credit.  Fill out your application and apply all efforts here with spirited hopes for positive results.  A salient inside right seems to have been overlooked by those heading to depths and destinations far beyond the field of view.  Take a wide perspective and harvest what the earth gives in all aspects of life.  Expect less / Receive more and enjoy that which comes your way.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"Better three hours too soon than a minute too late." - William Shakespeare

A hovering and heavy fog descends and envelopes.  Twisting and swirling upon a landscape of broken dreams and dashed aspirations.  A palpable calm invades as light SW winds put a texture upon aquatic surfaces and a chill in our hearts with current temp at 56F.  As ocean energy eases those seeking slides of solace must balance supply v. demand as shapes with form are hidden from view.  A tidal push may just provide the impetus to don neoprene and those upon the wall will need to look inward to tip scales in their favor this morning.  


CHANNEL: Turbid times as competition from fading swells react unfavorably to today's beginning.   A seasoned discernment may find a corner or slice upon which mind-surfing will be best exemplified.  The early brave have found the prize and are wallowing in the goodness as allowed.  Sectioned / chopped / less than triumphant waves are the reward today and size will hoist to thigh high feats.  Come locked and loaded but beware what truth you may discover. 



PATCH:  A spirited breeze has the Patch in the doldrums as S swell verve dissolves and retreats.  Shielded eyes view with disdain as the picture is not pretty and the reality less so indeed.  Wily veterans may reap from what they sow but the slides will be tempered with true knowledge that the end is near.  Solitary and miniscule rights will appear and for those with patience, will provide.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"Everything you can imagine is real." - Pablo Picasso

A collective calm and sigh of contentment as sun dominates the environment and wind is kept at bay.  Today's reality is slides are more than possible and shapes continue to formulate and fraternize in both areas of concern. Fading swells still keep the fires stoked and multiple watercraft are seen wandering westward to their ultimate goal.  A keen sense of location will align you with rides of consequence and others will make do with less than optimal outcomes.


CHANNEL: The past peaked tide has turned towards low and will have inside rights on the Mali-Bo causeway gridlocked and shut down.  Other bars are being re-fabricated and therefore will offer up the roller du jour that has loggers on high alert.  An unwilling partner in all of this is the dying NW swell which will strike without notice and pulse through with lefts and rights dependent on where you reside.  Size as a relative measure shows near waist high desires and the journey will always be where you take it. 



PATCH:  A keen eye will spy a moderate right holding court in the Patch as the tip time crew sets sights upon nose-rides and steady holding waves with a glistening backdrop.  With varying degrees of ebb and flow this spot should have reservations most of the day with water levels never reaching apex in either direction.  A touch of texture that should soon smooth out but eminently rideable for those with slides upon their mind.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"As not two people see the world the same way, all trips from here to there are imaginary; all truth is a tale I am telling myself." - Byron Gysin

A deceptive chill falls upon the BO, as the first rays of sun break through the fog, and morning finds another day near the breakers. As has been the custom of late, parking is at a premium, and all shapes and sizes of watercraft are in various states of preparedness. Be sure and align your mind with knowledge that you will need a singular vision to find slides currently, as shapes of consequence are in play, yet they are providing much needed time to rest in stillness, and let the mind flow as it does.


CHANNEL: Though it warms the heart to see a cadre of sliders braving these waters this fine morn, they do so with questionable motives. It seems they are collectively willing Mali-Bo towards it's own voodoo. The sandbar in question is a wild spirit, who's heart belongs to no one. As such, she is giving only glimpses of curve and shadow, and leaving onlookers yearning for more. There is the potential for the kind of stoke that provides bar-stool tales, but the ebb and flow will decide when and where a definitive and mournful left might make itself known.



PATCH:  A strangely desolate Patch at the current hour, as it appears that overall charge is sorely lacking. This shall not be the case as day rumbles forward, however, and one anticipates a gathering and maddening crowd in the later hours. If the past days are to offer any guidance, there will be reason for celebration and jubilation, but these moments will owe their very existence to the water table, and it's  rising and falling levels. Take heed, and make your mojo known, as it's all you have to offer.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"You are nobody, and I might have been somebody, and the road to each of us is love." - John Fante

A rare and determined sunlight struggles against a thick mist as we greet another morn in the village-by-the-sea. A horde has already descended and even the most ambitious, and perhaps delusional, of the thruster tribe have arrived seeking the soul's reward. A day such as this will test the will and reward only those with the who seek a righteous path, as tides will flow and zephyrs will blow, and the stoke will not be given to you, you must earn it. 


CHANNEL: An already retreating sea is providing no shape and little energy as the marker makes a shadow known only to an amalgamation of madness and sand. Though hope may well be found directly in front of the point of access, the stargate of stoke will be in flux. Be wise, and enter the vortex.



PATCH:  This is where all tribes have inserted themselves, and traffic in and out of the waters may need some direction, or perhaps assigned lanes, as the beach currently brings to mind areas much further south than these shores. Though the bodies and boards are many, current shapes still require patience, placement, and shoulders to find slides of merit. A far inside shape is the choice of the majority, and a scramble and tumult accompanies each breaker towards it's inevitable end. When looking with another perspective, one encounters a list of possibilities currently being under-utilized. With some creativity, and a willingness to allude and avoid, smiles may belong to you. Your choice.

Inspirational Crystal Quote Of The Day:   

"Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home." - James Joyce

Another grey and mist-covered morning as mid-June presents all of the usual symptoms. A current bite in the air as temps struggle to reach 50 degrees, and winds are light and variable, with occasional gusts from the NW. Though parking is already at a premium, it appears only the most determined of the vampire crew drew stoke from the veins of the sea this morn. Bodies bob and weave among shapes of little consequence, and forms are being observed heading into the modest breakers even now, although one must ponder what deeper meaning they hope to find, as the diminishing waters are taking all hopes for slides back into their briny grasp.


CHANNEL: A web of whitewater and chaos as we stare towards the exposed marker, surrounded only by sand, emptiness, and the dashed hopes of a thousand lost souls.



PATCH: As previously stated, the roster is deep and dark, as neoprene and fiberglass dot the seascape. These forms take little action, as what meager offerings are being had lack the punch of the champion. The time of impact has passed, and shall come again, but many hours lie between then and now. Take heed, and understand that as often as you seek the stoke, the stoke finds you only when the hour is right and the alignment is tight. Know that the ebb and flow determines your fate, and act accordingly.
