Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Conflict cannot survive without your participation." - Wayne Dyer

 
Mid-tide vectors met by concrete connectors as canines seemingly act as swell detectors under clear blue skies at this hour. A blazing sunshine already bestowing it's warming qualities upon us as the breezes are a non-issue. The chaos of the holiday weekend has passed, and all that remains are a half dozen stalwarts and the usual faces and places. A rare day in that all action takes place front and center, as the shapes being enjoyed currently happen in shallow waters that feel only feet from the river's edge...

CHANNEL: One would be hard-pressed to define this morning's action as taking place in the channel, but sometimes one is so far inside as to be outside, so we will judge the matter settled. Egg and log meet with mild success as waist is the place and rides are measured in moments. As is so often the case, the best is made of underwhelming conditions, as it only asks the exchange of one's time...



PATCH: The silence in deafening. You thought that was the ocean in a shell? those were only echoes....

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Scientific theory is a controlled foothold in the chaos of living phenomena." - Wilhelm Reich

 
The current temps suggest Spring is here to stay as we stop and greet another morning in a surrealistic pillow. The zephyrs seem to be sleeping in, as almost glassy conditions abound. Tides are in retrograde as of mid-morning and are welcoming all watercraft and those seeking adventure. Parking dissolves with the morning mist and bodies appear clad in neoprene from the shadows. Expect to keep an eye over your shoulder, as the line-up promises to be thick with opportunity for unscheduled board meetings. Flagship of the fleet indeed....

CHANNEL: Though far from conditions she can offer up, sliders in multitude sit upon unclear futures. Shapes appear, and before one can react, are gone into a miasma of whitewater and blue emotion. Let not these facts deter you, as there are those claiming you merely missed shapes of legend and consequence....



PATCH: Lo! the faithful masses have gathered, and Monday services are packed to the rafters! Those feeling the spirit bob and weave their ways through the WNW mix. Gems are being mined, but traffic congestion is already an issue. Mind the right of way and get in where you fit in, or just force your way, that's more common in circumstances such as these...

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again." - F Scott Fitzgerald

 
Tis a crisp and beautiful sun shinning morning we have been having all for ourselves. Many young folk, as well as whippersnappers loving the 55* f, and a little surf on top. Forecasts for our bo beach region are up and the crowd  are here in the 10's. Tidal rising (regular on our planet) should drastically improve all of our days. The birds are singing and radical prophesies are prophesied, by me. Bring your dog and let them mingle, they're much better at communication than us.   

CHANNEL: Backwards and forwards and all up and around it self. I have seen my cat recently cough up something similar. That being said, there is one brave soul in the water who clearly does not want to go surfing. Maybe if your a lucky one, but I might love an equal and opposite tide. Wet your whistle and wait. Bring a big board and you may see some double ups and bow ties.


PATCH: Solemn course of rocks and baby rips with some knee to waist high surf all the way on the 5th reef! 20 gentle men and women, gently sliding across the surface of our wonderful oceanic puddles. Little ripple ridding water bathers I say. Tidal influx will happen and more little slippers will show. Get excited, very excited.... but not overly excited. Respect is the name of the game.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"The ideal attitude is to be physically loose and mentally tight" - Arthur Ashe

 
Swell energy holds steady and brings the schemers and dreamers seeking waves of virtue and attainability.  An early mix of coastal overcast has winds non existent though a permeating chill of 47F.  Now giving way to full sunshine and radiance.  Again we battle against a dropping morning tide that reveals wide margins of beach and stone while foiling plans for groomed breakers. There is plenty of opportunity present and most activity is currently centered on donning suit and boots and hurrying to greet the ocean.    

CHANNEL: Not as composed as yesterday with folding breakers directly in front of the boat ramp getting the most looks and personal attention.  The occasional left in the Channel signifies a rallying point for those of the goofy persuasion but the apparition is relatively short-lived.  The Seadrift enclave still seems to be soaking up the directional offerings and rights of length rather than size are in the outcome.  A mixed bag with something for everyone and still leaving desires unfulfilled. 



PATCH: With fading S swell and a full tilt NW the Patch seems to have taken a liking to the factors and is joining the party in earnest today.  Not organized or correctly formed but still showing signs of life and magnetizing most with its tragic pull.  Smooth peaks have been known to pop yet the where is all over the watery map.  Logs and shortboards are making the pilgrimage forth and if you are so drawn keep your hopes even and conservative.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Time and tide wait for no man." - Geoffrey Chaucer

 
A chill in the air as temps dip into the mid 40s and a palpable buzz is felt.  While true titans do battle to the south those in seek of challenges met and yet unconquered stream live in real time and fill parking to the tipping point.  Buoy readings demand your attention and respect as they heave hefty numbers and lofty goals upon some shores.  Much energy is among the deep though low morning tides have things broken up and erratic with most waves being un-encumbered.   

CHANNEL: Salty spray as many make their way to find a wide open field filled with combers seeking solid surfaces upon which to display harmonic oscillation.  Current amplitude and phase leave most desiring more as water levels have dropped to less than optimum.  Swell vectors are in alignment for further propagation though consequence will require time to pass and tide to fill. 



PATCH: Still getting a slight jolt of juice from the S swell in play yet wave boundaries are indistinct and generally mal-formed.  A rather fluid situation as glimmers of stoke cause many to stroke forth pursuing proper positioning upon uneven seas.  There are slides to be had but far from the trappings of lore or expectations based on computerized swell models.

 Inspirational Quote Of The Day: 
"You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible." - Anton Chekhov

Back in the saddle and ready to rattle as another Spring-like day unfolds.  A sunny countenance with calm atmosphere has those with fiberglass under their arms skipping down the lane towards the aquatic ending.  A pushing tide lends a hand as the great northern swells seek to gain anchor upon our shores.  Glistening mini-peaks are the name of the game  today with longboards the correct tool to tackle the job. 



CHANNEL: Early morning low tide has things more chopped than chipper as the current crew waits for a smoothing of terrain.  What appears on the horizon gaining momentum quickly dissolves in the shallows after a fleeting ride of less consequence than hoped for.  More water and the passing of time is your friend today though patience waits for no one. 



PATCH: A slightly enlarged S swell has outside Patch dwellers finding reason to make the journey.  While the inner regions beg a modest glance it is from the depths that grand waves are made.  A fledgling pair have found their way and now mush align themselves both physically and spiritually in order to take advantage of the current offerings.  Wide swaths of water need careful contemplation if one is to make forays towards land with slides of true distance.  It can be accomplished and also distorted.

Inspirational Quote Of The Day:
"An empire founded by war has to maintain itself by war." - Charles De Montesguieu

Another day with Spring on it's mind as we gaze towards sun-dappled ridgelines. The winds that made such havoc of yesterday have dissipated, but long from disappeared. Incoming vectors and H2O in high volumes are the shape of things to come, at least until afternoon. Perhaps spending some time on other pursuits is best until then, as only the shadow knows what morning holds.



CHANNEL: A trio of  hopefuls cast long shadows upon mole-hill breakers as they sit and wait.....and sit.....and wait. Though there may have been quality that these sliders sought, it largely appears to have passed them by. I had many friends this morning, I'm the only one this evening....



PATCH: A duo of familiar faces in the usual places as the meager offerings are made the most of at present. A mild chop does not go unheeded as one makes one's way, but all accounts point to mild successes and neoprene dresses as inside rights hold forth and hold court for what seems like minutes, but may indeed be years. Slow and Low like classic BO, get in, find it, and become something else.

Inspirational Quote Of The Day:
"You'll never live if you are looking for the meaning of life." - Albert Camus

Balmy and breezy as temps hover in higher numbers than have been observed in many a moon. Debris strewn streets and tree branches litter all approach routes, so be mindful should decide to take the plunge. Though it appears spring has arrived, it has brought no additional gifts, as the tide only continues to fill up boat ramps and state champs at this early hour. The later times hold the only glimpse of hope, and even those may be fleeting.



CHANNEL: Forlorn and breeze-blown, as a chaotic scene of whitecaps and knee-slaps is all that is offered. Currently empty of seekers and sliders, and with good reason.



PATCH: A frustrated duo seeks  justice among uneven and inconsistent seas. The outcome? Denied. Though one admires the determination of these brave souls, that admiration comes at the cost of the facts. As the seas recede in later hours, one prays the forms take shape, but that, as all things, remains to be seen....

A beautiful day for the beach, unless you're a football fan. Super bowl Sunday has us debating the long trip out. With the streets packed and the sun out, it is looking like a perfect day for the beach, know the tides and come at the right time. Morning is (almost) always prime


CHANNEL: Men standing up on the water, more than swimming in it. SUP's rule dawn patrol today but now with a little more competition from the log riders. Waist + but inconsistent and too much water. Long periods of sitting and contemplation.


PATCH: Still looking better than the Channel with a bit more consistency. May get better with outgoing tide but who's to say. Knee-Waist.

Sweet, sweet sunshine reminds us of the summer days we miss so much. Bright and energetic is the morning as rising souls make their way to the water. Parking is already nil and the day is starting quick. No access to beach currently but as the tide drops to a negative, there should be enough sand for everyone.


CHANNEL: With high tide just around the bend, the Channel is filling to max capacity and is nearly overwhelmed. Still there are always possibilities, take the biggest log you have. Try outgoing tide.


PATCH: Ramps of almost significant size shape themselves before slowing. Knee to waist high but no bigger. Consistently inconsistent.

CHANNEL: Chest high sets but rides not lasting for as long as we would hope. Intervals of standing still occur but the sight and ride is worth the wait.

Inspirational Quote Of The Day: 
"Health is not valued until sickness comes." - Thomas Fuller


A deceptive  chill looms over an otherwise beautiful morning, with temps in the mid-40's at present. Though clear with an unbroken sunshine, tis' the zephyrs that are in charge currently. Not only are they bringing a bit of winter's bite as they blow, they are wreaking havoc with the small shapes as they approach the shores. There are hopes that these breezes of consequence will begin to dissipate as the afternoon slogs on, but you know what they say about hope....                                                                               

CHANNEL: Droplets of whitewater are driven from knee-high peaks and backlit by a crisp sunlight in a stunning moment. Though striking, it is then that one realizes that this area is vacant of sliders with good reason. If the breezes indeed remain throughout the day, look elsewhere for your pleasures. 
 

PATCH:  Zero players have taken the field, but one hears mumbling and stumbling from the blacktop locker room. Also ranging in a fair-to-midland range of slide-ability, but more protected from the destructive zephyrs. Hardly a day of legend, but with a careful eye, slides will be found.

Inspirational Quote Of The Day:
"Rather be dead than cool." - Kurt Cobain


A beautiful day is upon us as the sky breaks free and the sun shines down. A bit of a breeze has us gripping our coats but conditions have us on our toes. Wonderful day to take a peek, slide a peak and stay a while.  The beach is accessible as of now and seems like the place to be.                                                                                

CHANNEL: Small and un-ridden white water crumbles in. Its only company is that of a seagull.   
 

PATCH:  Water forming fun ramps about waist high but somewhat slow, and is clearly the place to be. Currently a crowd of large size all learning to share, so if you can't, stay away. Bob and weave and find yourself on a ride lasting as long as you can before it slows down.

Daily Surf Report - 1/30/2016

Inspirational Quote Of The Day:
"Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you." - Frank Lloyd Wright


Unbidden and unridden as NW remains intact though at a lessor level.  Skies are bleary though currently dry and winds and tide are not factors of the equation.  Temps dip to 48F and crowds swell in search of that which satisfies the inner need.  The window is currently open if you care to slip in for a slide.                                                                                

CHANNEL: Left leaning and sometimes leering peaks will emerge and spin with sub-optimal form.  Size is manageable and cresting at the shoulder high level upon further inspection.  Favorable tides allow for watching, waiting and wading as the ramp devils pose no threats this morn.  A wide expanse of opportunities awaits as waves develop all the way through to Seadrift.  
 

PATCH:  Confounding and confusing to most not wielding carbon paddles as the farthest reaches beckon only to thwart most attempts.  Inner regions show promise but at a more modest means.  There are small rewards to reap today as we find reason to approach between the unsavory storms.

Daily Surf Report - 1/29/2016

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


Tragic skies though no surprise as new wetness descends as predicted.  Raging S winds and growing swell a combo not benevolent to morning slides or staying dry.   Temps all the way up to 57F the only current factual positive to report.  Hefty helpings of flowing water are upon the seas as continued NW swell amplifies and forms though translation remains an unwritten language today.                                                                                

CHANNEL: Pulsing with storm driven peaks defying all logical reason and direction.  No lessor evils here to slay this fine morning.  The waiting game for those dawn crackers may well reach into a new day as the current weather has just settled in.    
 

PATCH: 
Terrorizing suckers on the seven seas
And if you've got beef - you'll get capped in the knees
We got sixteen men on a dead man's chest
And I shot those suckers and I'll shoot the rest

Inspirational Quote Of The Day:
"Human life is as evanescent as the morning dew or a flash of lightning." - Samuel Butler 


Moon beams and hollow dreams as we welcome another morning.  Tinted skies are a treat for the eyes as sailors determine what warnings to heed.  Temps blip and dip then settle on 47F.  A rising NW swell and Easterly winds have favorable tendencies that are attempting to manifest.  The present is full of promise.  The future remains unknown.                                                                                    

CHANNEL: Pushed well over into the deeper Channel region and bordering on Seadrift territory.  This is where the masses congregate as 280 degrees seeks to find purchase.  Lopsided crests formulate and fold with less than adequate delivery and shortened rides for the crew.  Neither right nor left holds the secrets as both allow but for abbreviated periods.  
 

PATCH:  Awash with potential and luring a lessor contingent of sliders seeking solace from the throng.   Hit and miss with peaks popping but not rocking - yet rides are in the offering for those positioned correctly.  Tides and winds remain supportive today and may endeavor to dispense advice once your secrets are finally told.
