Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"I’ve got a bad feeling about this.” – basically everyone


Sitting ducks wait patiently for some swell. Maybe practice your hand stands or shoot the stuff with fellow surfers as this might take a while. The low tide seems to be rocking the surfers to sleep and the only thing rolling in is the cool fog from the bay. This morning looks like a day to do some yoga on your favorite SUP.


CHANNEL: Channel what channel?


PATCH: Board meeting already started. Someone pass the tardy sauce.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Buy the ticket.  Take the ride." - Hunter S. Thompson


A less than fresco-ed sky as coastal overcast presides upon this wild weekend.  Damp streets mesh with sandy feet of those stretching out the kinks in a seemingly endless cycle of rinse and spin.  Some easing onshore flow has left a textured facade upon which to work with.  Negatively low tide is not helping the vibe either.   Swell remnants do remain but will require much magnetic moon pull to entice the masses.


CHANNEL: Microwaved hot dog lefts for the RC surfer cult as no water present has cleared this lineup.  What reels across the shallows is not fit for humans or finned boards but seems fairly rippable for GI Joe.  As a measure of NW windswell does remain this spot may see increased action as the tide reverses fortune and flows back in.  For now Try Wait.  For later Try Maybe.


PATCH: Big decisions causing endless revisions in one's mind as rocky shores beckon forth.  Well outside in the land of the lost bobs Cha-Ka and Sleestak alike.  Will and Holly Marshall contemplate the journey one must undertake to join the party and if the effort will yield rewards.  All dimensional portals are open if you are willing to step inside.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Is it weird in here, or is it just me?" - Steven Wright


Passing winds of change have left the type of serenity and sunshine one usually dreams about.  Temps have been whipped and dipped and now settle at 48F but clearing skies should have temps on the rise and predictions have removed real washing rain from our future.  Cautious sliders emerge from all manner of vehicle and direct glances upon exposed sands.  Rocky outcroppings are the dominant feature though low rollers generated from a hearty NW windswell are meandering towards shore at unplanned intervals. 


CHANNEL: Low and slow as recently bottomed tide has sandbars rearing and knee high lefts searing across the grit.  Little lefts lacking punch or proficiency have seekers contemplating and calculating the tidal shift.  No current mobilization this direction by the suited and booted but deep thoughts are being processed. 


PATCH: Languishing upon low tide shores as a minor S swell shows well outside where the covenant of paddles lives.  Logs loaded, the insomniacs among us head blindly into the breech foraging for morsels to keep the stoke alive.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time." - H. P. Lovecraft



Hazy and lazy and we cast glances upon the sea while shielding eyes from sunshine overload.  Shifting sands have migrated thoroughly and brought with them a beach approaching fuller levels.  Tasty early morning temps with the thermometer already on the rise.   Just a mid-period NW windswell upon the waters but finding a slight foothold upon shallow bars.  Lesser days have brought joy to slider's hearts as we attempt to always view the glass as half full.  


CHANNEL: The hopeful and hearty crew lends credence to how low it can go.  Fighting the comeback tide reveals shallow breakers and kneecap shakers with more feet traveled than ultimate yardage. 



PATCH: An emerging SW swell sets sights upon these shores but for now remains quiet and under wraps.  Perhaps in time with more pushing tide the energies of the ocean may make themselves known to all.  An empty landscape tends to speak volumes without saying a word yet those with a keen eye have dusted off their big logs.....

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"We need never be ashamed of our tears." - Charles Dickens



A deafening sunlight casts shadows over exposed sand and romping canines as the mercury is already three feet high and rising. A  mixed and muddled NW seeks purchase in calm seas. The zephyrs blow so low as to be eerily absent, and only marginal ways and halcyon days remain. Vacant line-ups make for empty hearts, but this is the way of today. Center all energies, and await something made from nothing. 


CHANNEL: What is the sound of one wave clapping. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain....



PATCH: Knee-cappers and candy wrappers roll in inconsequential seas, as nary a soul makes way once more into the breech. Hope springs eternal, but may be more than misguided. As the hourglass grows heavy, and the higher tides seek colder waters, slope and shadow look to improve.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Choose a place where you won't do harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine." - E.M. Forster


A brightly lit haze hangs over BO-BO daze as a hint of heat already is palpable. A handful of stalwarts seek the last gasps of the ever-mythical "south", but the number of watercraft that sit idle on sandy blacktop should speak volumes. Glassy, not trashy, with minimal breezes currently, however the incoming tidal push seems to simply overwhelm all other shapes, shadow, and possibility.


CHANNEL: Tall shadows cast as those suited and booted literally stare in confusion, and seem to wander to and fro on exposed beach. Gazing longingly into calm waters, looking for something that no longer remains, like a lover's memory. Disdain and heartbreak is all that is found. Selah.



PATCH: Paddles, paddles, everywhere, and not a drop to drink. Those intent on greeting the dawn stand in curious poses, and feel the heat. Those seeking solace and stoke are advised to contemplate other matters until seas retreat after mid-morning, as lumpy, not pumpy is the menu offering...

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Life is to be lived, not controlled, and humanity is won by continuing to play in the face of certain defeat." - Ralph Ellison

 
A disparate fog clings to hillsides hither and yon, yet a clear and bright sun shines upon rocky shorelines in the first hours. Steady zephyrs hold a bite and touch of a chill, but the mercury looks to rise to the true taste of late spring as day proceeds. A veritable rogue's gallery is gearing up for getting down, with the departing S swell eeking and geeking some flavor from the cold stew of sea. Prepare to earn your smiles this morning, as the real action requires upper-body motion of some merit, but the rewards are promising...


CHANNEL: Windy whitecaps as determined lefts roll forward, albeit slowly. A trio sits just outside steel pole bathtubs to assess and redress. A lone scout has sought far outside action, and this gamble is providing dividends, as the tidal waters continue the morning march.


PATCH: Paddle in hand the masses do stand and find classic slow and low BO. A baker's dozen seeks satisfaction from the beloved potato patch at first light. Marginal ways and lazy days, as a careening peeler holds on as long as you can, and bobs and weaves as it  hopes to deceive. Won't you be my neighbor?

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Music in the soul can be heard by the universe." - Lao Tzu


A hushed calm descends before chaos is unleashed as we stumble though the second half of the weekend. Gone is the foggy mist that dampens spirits to be replaced by clearing skies and sunlit hilltops. Side-shore grooming breezes may ruffle hair but also lends a helping hand to keep peaks aligned. S swell lingers and is conjugated with some Westerly additions. NW windswell shifty and overshadowed in the initial dawn. Long shadows are cast upon marginal beach expanses and those early risers have already harvested their daily sustenance.


CHANNEL: A touch of texture as light winds shift along to find purchase.  Tide at capacity has put all the elements in play and lesser lefts do emerge and advance for a trio of worthy sliders.  Size is down a touch and less likely to damage fragile foam though mind the outgoing tide as it tends to provide shallow conditions.

Cold water in the face
Brings you back to this wonderful place

Inspirational Quote of the Day: 
"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." - C. S. Lewis


Blood suckers mix with rug cutters in the dark before dawn has broken.  Whispered alliances and hushed tones apply.  Fangs bared and capes wrapped tight.  Night creatures stir as does Mother Ocean with a mid-period NW windswell and a vacillating steep S in occupation.  Filigree light trickles through from fog drenched hill tops and light wind brings a tickle of texture to the terrain. Molted and hollow crustaceans litter the landscape and canines frolic and dig the scene. Tidal treasures are not currently revealed as a plentiful portion allows for full fledged coverage. 


CHANNEL: Languishing lefts lurch and a sentinel strokes for entry.  Not the stuff of lore nor legend but legitimate ledges that can and will fuel those hungry for stoke.  A satisfying mix of waist high walls that open and close without much forethought or reasoning.  Fishing kayaks currently outnumber those with surfing on their minds and in their hearts. 


PATCH: First light - first left as the day breaks wide open.  Idle chit chat interrupted by smooth slides and glides with occasional exhortation upon a whim.  A dichotomy of styles exhibited at all turns with necessary portions for all and more for others.  S swell regains a foothold and delivers treats to those with karmic positivity.  Oh yeah I like it like that.  Somebody bring me a plate of sassafras.

Inspirational Quote of the Day: 
"Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire." - Confucius


Waning night gives into a calm morning as serene prophecies lend a general quiet to the dawn.  Remnants are all that remain of recent surges as swells dissolve back to the sea from which they came.  Do not let the unlucky day be a deterrent or keep your glued to the wall as there are mingling masses moving forth with board in hand and booted feet.  Today is not a complete impostor nor altogether devoid of any qualifications.  One must decide to seek before one can find. 


CHANNEL: A feeling of redemption as tidal turning is slaked and not draining with past ferocity.  A more settled terrain though no more occupied than in days past.  The early incoming push had Mali-Bo determined to work but the passing hours now negates this option.  Outer lefts form, foment then gurgle through with sections worthy of a drop and turn.  Most vanish pronto - some hang in for the medium haul. 


PATCH: Smooth like butter.  Slather it on.  Mouse treats for all with size appropriate to those involved sliders.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Action is the foundational key to all success." - Pablo Picasso


Delve into a new day with enlightenment on your mind and stoke as your guide.  Let not the overcast skies dim your mood as they are portents of slack winds and velvety surfaces.  A draining tide has set the priority level on high as pillar and sand will soon be exposed.  The walls remain empty and rightly so as it is far better to do than to discuss.


CHANNEL: Tops torn though not by wind but a ripping tide that leaves chaos in its wake and takes all prisoners.  An uninhabited wilderness with the Northern cousin having lured all likely sliders.  Solo session available for those with a strong constitution and a desire to paddle. 


PATCH: Inconsistent but stalwart SW swell has the farthermost reaches of the Patch bristling with excitement.  Varnished peaks pop and those plying their trade are of the lay-down paddling tribe known as Logjammers.  No matter your affiliation there is something for all parties in the early dawn and lefts and rights lurch lovingly along.  Lulls may be a factor but the wait is overruled by the deliverance.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"What we are reluctant to touch often seems the very fabric of our salvation." - Don DeLillo


Foggy and soggy as a new dawn fades. Meandering remainders of a previous south have an alarming number up in these early hours. They seem bent on chasing mere ghosts, as a heavy peanut gallery takes note. Water levels are low at present, and sliders should take note that fin and rocky sands are not friends, and do not play well together. Far outside wranglers are finding some joy from the journey, but those with paddle in hand have the upper hand and are choosing to grandstand. Dance, dance, dance to the radio...

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Dreams are true while they last, and we do not live in dreams." - Alfred Lord Tennyson


Strange ways and ill-tempered plays as we sit and gaze and wait for hot summer days as shades of gray define the early morn. Overall punch is slacking and lacking among the cold waters at present. This, oddly, had deterred almost none, as a baker's dozen seek stoke from ripples and  molehills as the zephyrs blow gently. Know the realities of what you seek, and live that definition.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Sometimes the only realists are the dreamers." -  Paul Wellstone

 
A mist in measure reveals little buried treasure as we greet a morning of heavy gray and little on which to play. Low tide vectors define all sectors as a scan of the playing field provides no solace. Though a determined sun may make itself known, expect the fog to be in effect until mid-morning. As water levels  rise, so may hopes of slides and rides, but only the smallest fragments of the recent swell remain, like a whisper in the wind...

"My mom is a neverending song in my heart of comfort, happiness, and being. I may sometimes forget the words but I always remember the tune." - Graycie Harmon

 
Vessels a sailing as paddle boards wash up on today's super low tide. The only promise of surf is if a ship creates some sort of wake. Wake up and say Happy Mothers Day to your mom or mother figure. The cold fog and mist brings a few morning birds to the exposed rock, possibly hoping for a salty treat. Otherwise, today is looking to be a lazy Sunday.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Doubt begins only at the last frontiers of what is possible." - Ambrose Bierce

 
Damp and dank as we unwind from slumber and greet the weekend head on.  What limited resources are present paints a bleak picture for early morning victories as tide drains and drains below zero.  Optimistic notes are related to the calm atmosphere, temp of 55F, no precipitation (though skies are forbidding) and still some energetic swell lurking and lingering while waiting for more water upon which to display itself.  Rides and slides are certainly possible but after your morning coffee has been fully consumed. A great day to shop for that new summer sled as S swells soon come.

CHANNEL: A lone sentinel stands tall and mimics the Groin pole in steadfast defiance of the obvious.  Breaching bars reveal mini islands upon which to stake your claim and dig in for the long haul.  Spinner lefts in the calf high domain flourish over water levels best suited for the fin-less and chinless crew.  Still wanting to work with the NW windswell most applicable for success yet negative undercurrents do not allow.

goodbyes enough 
So this is me
refusing to sleep
because you don’t deserve
to haunt me in my dreams

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Nothing you wear is more important than your smile." - Connie Stevens
 


Glassy and sassy with overcast skies, temp of 55F, no wind and presumed sprinkles.  Operational paradigms are below sea level this morning though consequential swells do linger in the depths.  Those determined to succeed have seen beyond the obvious and have entered a 6th dimension where reality becomes suspended in time.

CHANNEL: Savagely low tides keep a fermenting whitewater brew on tap.  Micro-almonds of the mind surf realm peel and reel in a mocking tribute though no human forms currently partake.  Breaching sandbars make for interesting obstacles and the phrase Try Wait readily comes to mind.  With a legitimate NW windswell in play the lack of water is a true determining factor in the day's success. 


PATCH: Rock pickers and clam diggers mingle with pole pickers in the outer most reaches at the ocean's limit.  A decaying S swell conjures a few varnished peaks with heights just cracking above the patella.  More time sitting than sliding but the conversation flows like wine on days like today.  Ohh, to be a fly on the wall.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"You need a little bit of insanity to do great things." - Henry Rollins
 


Grim and grey with a hearty mist reveals the day but doesn't deter the chosen few.   Those inclined to seek sanctuary and solitude may well find their wishes realized as a pall surrounds the sleepy town.  Hikers and bikers on a journey into the unfamiliar will taste the salty brine for the first time today and know of the healing powers.  Though shapes are mostly conspicuous in their absence, a keen guide with provide insight and fodder for destinations yet determined.

CHANNEL: A dynamic duo sallies forth as the incoming tide can only help but salvage what the early morning delivers.  Crumbled breakers and mumbled invectives leaves little doubt as to the quality and quantity being reaped.  As with all things in life - cherish the moment and the company as there are better days to come.


PATCH: Low level tides = full exposure of rocky crags and hidden crevices.  While a S swell lays in wait the missing aquatic ingredient slowly returns to form.  Mid-morning rituals won't help the dawn patrol crew as the tide flows on its own schedule.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:   
"Imagination, though it cannot wipe out the sting of remorse, can instruct the mind in it's proper uses." - William Carlos Williams


A heavy and determined gray haze hangs over rocky coastlines, as an unwelcome and unfamiliar humidity makes itself known. Harmonic convergence makes for a cosmic disturbance, as parking is already conspicuous in it's absence. Some of this frenzied activity may be without reason, as shadow and shape twirl and scrape, but are hardly the stuff of legend and barstool glory. That, of course, has no bearing on the stalwarts and soldiers going once more into that good morning.

CHANNEL: A trio of uncertain observational prowess bobs and weaves and practices to deceive as shapes on which to slide are few and far between. As waters are still on the rise at present, expect the only constant to be change, but temper what it is you hope to harvest, as knee high whitewater is the operational paradigm...


PATCH: Have paddle, will travel is the whisper in the wind, as those who stand tall act as beacons in every direction. Waist high lefts break from the outside, and a maelstrom follows each shadow, as all souls attempt the same route. Welcome to the new normal...

Inspirational Quote of the Day:   
"An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered." - G.K. Chesterton


Wisps of stubborn fog hang around and wear out their welcome as a strong sunshine breaks into the fray. Temps hang in the mid-50's, but will rise as day passes. Those already amongst the breakers are finding reason to smile, as sandy asphalt reveals those gearing up for getting down, as either side of the boat ramp offers views that bring a quickening pulse and a glimmer to the eye.

CHANNEL: A half dozen stalwarts gather and approach shoulder high lefts holding and molding in hazy sunshine. Though not the lore of legends, a solid ride can be had, if one has measured steps and done due diligence. The rising tide raises all boats indeed....


PATCH: Craft of various volumes and with dubious pilots crowd the potato patch in the present hours, as the classic offerings are on tap. A baker's dozen are drinking mightily from the dark waters, and with good reason, as consistency is the skeleton key, and sets are summarily spaced and raced. Be here now...
