Daily Surf Report - 11/18/2016

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them." - Bruce Lee
 

Golden morning got me yawning as we unwind, regroup and face a brand new day.  A nod to simpler times and exchanged pleasantries.  Remove aggression and anger and search for the beauty that surrounds.  Find the positive in the moment and release the negative thoughts to drift away and disappear.  Sunglasses and sunscreen are warranted as the day begins brilliantly.  Temp is 44F, skies show not a wisp of cloud and the winds are dead.  NW swell fades and vacates leaving just traces behind and enough for periodic rides.  The tide has just turned and will push back in giving just enough emphasis to forge a few extra slides.


CHANNEL: Paltry rights return but that is all that is offered as the lefts show no love.  Contained cylinders with moderate push weave across the ocean palette as a half dozen bob and bob.  Magnificent morning in many aspects but the wave machine has been currently disabled and is waiting for maintenance.  


PATCH: The inner workings of the Snags show the most promise and action though also present the most danger.  Rocks and SUPs currently command this region but as the incoming tide filters in the playing field will become leveled.

Daily Surf Report - 11/17/2016

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye." - H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
 

Beautiful and unburdened morning as the sun causes glints and squints.  Gentle E winds willing a warmth to the 44F chill and offering up grooming tips as well. Still infused with a large NW swell that is seeking entry and looking to set up camp.  A few angles will allow for showings while others thwart and diffuse energy.  Tides again will play a factor in the day as they peak and plunge at times only directed by the moon above.  


CHANNEL: Credible rights bearing much water and backed with sound force.  A bit of spray gets sunlit into a million crystal droplets of positiveness.  Razor sharp and fast to fold. The picking and choosing requires some selective restraint.  Size is up and chest to shoulder has been observed.  Those less in stature seem to hold shape and form more consistently. 


PATCH:
The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness
Is staring me blind

Daily Surf Report - 11/16/2016

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us." - Joseph Campbell
 

The boom the bip.  The boom bip.  As we listen to the lyrical stylings of Mr. QTip.  We find favorable tidings upon waking with the clearest of skies and brisky temp of 45F to get the blood flowing.  No winds and sunshine round out the atmosphere and another hearty NW swell begins to descend.  Not fully flushed but approaching with an upturn noticed and likely to reinforce.  King tides maxing and not relaxing so when opportunity knocks be ready to pounce.  


CHANNEL: Resilient rights readily apparent and getting stank eye from the worthy few.  Exuding promise of things to come if all holds true.  Tide a friendly patron for now but will squash and overwhelm by mid-day.  Try Now.  No Wait. 


PATCH:  Pleasantly palatable as some West blips slip through the cracks where the light gets in.  Not clearly organized or impressive but enough can be seen to allow for positive speculation.  Those in the know always know where to go.

Daily Surf Report - 11/15/2016

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score." - Vince Lombardi 
 

This day has begun with light sprinkles and no real swells of consequence.  Even though the energy flows from the NW,  the power and the shape is looking sloppy and slow.  Only little ankle high waves today as the dominant feature. As the high tide drops it will become a lake with light winds. Its 58F outside and overcast and 59deg in lake Bolinas. 


CHANNEL: Minor rip tides are present today due to lack of effort and high and low tides. Maybe try something new today - go on a long walk and enjoy it the most you can.  Save up some energy for the next heavy swell.


PATCH:  Too slow, too mushy, try sleeping in, and relaxing as the slow Tuesday begins. A cup of joe will warm your spirits.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature." - Ralph Waldo Emerson 
 

The days are getting harder to recognize as the fog spoils everything in sight. One can't see past the beach break. Unknown  if good or bad or inbetween. Just to much water on this murkiest of days. Roads are moist as the fog starts to roll out of our way and a clearing trend may be just around the bend. It's 55F and 59deg in the water as all surfers come out steaming like there's no tomorrow. Just another day with a NW swell that still tries to make its way to the shore. 


CHANNEL: Too foggy to enjoy, too foggy to see, too foggy to understand what has coming for us in this early morning of days. Just another day at home. Where else would we want to be?


PATCH:  The high tides are just wrecking the lineups as you try to paddle with all your might and can't seem to get that perfect wave. Just straining your energy throwing yourself at the waves. Just another manic Monday.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face." - Victor Hugo
 

Just another day at sea with the blooming of high tide smashing and destroying the seawall.  People are gazing through the sun trying to figure out which path to take as decisions come hard. The NW swell still trying to break its way through the highest of tides and the danger is lurking right out in the open waiting for its next victim. Temp of 60F, with no winds, but lacking in confidence the shapes the curls the face of the waves are just all falling apart. In the afternoon the water levels are dropping to the negatives.


CHANNEL: Just straining wirh the energy that comes from underneath as the tide shines for another day of mesmerizing moods. Just too much water to have many nice rides to bring out the best in you.


PATCH:  It's sunny it's sunny till the days end as the tides are too high and just spoils the breaks. A bit swirly to catch any diminishing rides.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Problems are not stop signs - they are guidlines." - Robert H. Schuller
 

Again and with feeling with the new NW swell climbing the top turnbuckle and jumping off.  Electrified activity from all corners and all comers has early parking depleted and social norms ignored.  Looks like an "anything goes" type of day as judged by the collection of boards seen entering and leaving the water.  Some environmental factors to be aware of today: steep and deep high tide just trending to its peak / coastal fog making visuals hazy / temp of 59F / no winds / outgoing tide suck to a negative in the afternoon will put a rip across the waters.  Have fun!!


CHANNEL: Weird and warbled as high tide funk messing with the junk.  Plenty of swellular energy in play coupled with climaxed tide has waters splashing and surfers dashing left and right.  Head swivels are a must to locate the next thrust and find yourself in a place of calm vs. doom.  Bathed in morning fog the viewed parameters show the promise of a desert mirage.     


PATCH:
Before we were on our way
Up the ramp of death
I could say that you moved me
In many rich directions, good and bad
The null experience
Piece it together
It showers you with oceans of the past

Daily Surf Report - 11/11/2016

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow ." - Melody Beattie
 

Hazy skies meet blazing eyes as the hungry, haggard and hopeful converge.  Trending down but hanging around with NW swell energy implicitly present.  New phase slated to arrive this afternoon to add another does of size to the brew.  Careless peeks will lead to wet sneaks with high tide running the ramp and not holding back.  Temp remains steady at 59F.  Wind does not exist and all efforts will be duly rewarded. 


CHANNEL: A downward shift with more West leaves opportunity a window upon which to enter.  Maxed out tides result in slushy rides as too much water spoils the party.  A shorter board crew is embarking on this journey with hopes that the outgoing pull will send a clean up crew in to take care of the mess.  Corners are available and offering a turn or two but not much more is currently apparent.     


PATCH: Modest peaks protrude and seem to have the most allure.  Drawing the largest population and for good reason with clean rights going down and popping up.  Willingly waist high and full of water in a good way.  Middles moves the most hearts and well outside seems a paddler's destiny.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi
 

Dropping but not flopping as NW swell hangs in and holds course.  NE wind tendencies currently non-blowing.  Peaked high tide keeping it soupy and swamped but not a complete deterrent to current stoke seekers.  Temp is 61F and skies are blue and clear.  A general smooth facade with beneficial results once you figure out how to access the waters.  And you thought we wouldn't have any fun.


CHANNEL: Fully engulfed and engaged with much tide and swell.  Energy to spare with no where to dispense has weebles and wobbles along all venues.  Thoughtful and thorough consideration should be given and taken before venturing forth into the great unknown.  Stick to your convictions and never look back.   


PATCH: Down a few ticks in size as swell angle moves up to a more Northern degree.  Best utilized but the SUP brigade with extra paddling prowess as high tide teasing but not pleasing yet.  Breakers brew and spew but not under any prescribed guidance.  Lumpy but wanting to work.  Yearning to provide.

Daily Surf Report - 11/9/2016

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"May you live in interesting times." - Chinese proverb
 

Contrary to popular belief, the sun does rise today and a new day begins with a hope for peace and tranquility.  Heavy ocean rumbles mixed with suitable grumbles as a non-sedentary swell from the NW is again upon us.  Significant in size with the ability to overwhelm.  Contrasted with clear skies, absolutely no wind and a surging temp of 57F makes this truly a Fall day to remember.  Shake off the doldrums.  Jump in to clear you vision and wash away all negativity.  Yank bootstaps.  Gather intestinal fortitude.  Tackle the day and wild surf head on in combative style.


CHANNEL: Thick and wide swaths of oceanic energy pour through at steady intervals only to be met by the adventurous few that have unlocked the secret to entry.  With tides peaked out and high, the vantage points remain soaked and interested parties find higher ground.  Plenty of West in this swell has rights in the Channel working and sizable.  Everything shows signs of life and potential but overall swell has some havoc wreaking tendencies.


PATCH: Bumped, dumped and jumped up swell showing upon open smooth faces in the outside Patch.  Shifty again as direction not optimal but with so much energy poised and pulsating there are clearly waves to be had.  Size ranging up to one's shoulder is not uncommon and currently more are watching and waiting than participating.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Voters don't decide issues, they decide who will decide issues." - George Will
 

As slow as this Tuesday goes the waves can't find the right footing in this early morning. Possibly later today it will start to find ground and stick the landing. It's nice and warm in the water, about 60 deg, with blue skies above and only light winds.  Outside air temp of 63F and sunny.


CHANNEL: Still a sluggish start to the morning as the new NW swell pops up. As it should grow tall and loud this evening take some time now. The tides are just too high for this beautiful, crisp, Fall day. Wait until it's low tide and draining. 


PATCH: Some small, some big, some weak, some strong, it's just too hard to find the right positioning. To Patchy for my liking. About knee high but too swampy - swirly to get any good long lasting rides.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Courage is found in unlikely places." - J. R. R. Tolkien 
 

A non Morrissey  Monday begins with the water dropping in height and strength. The day must move on with water temp at 59 deg and it's 66F outside with light winds. The NW swell is crumbling to the ground as Monday drains the energy right out of your soul. Go enjoy a nice early breakfast and maybe just maybe you'll have a chance before the sun goes to sleep.


CHANNEL:  A sluggish start to the morning as tides are washing out.  Generally a bit small in size as this beautiful day begins. Sizes of board is a key factor today with fave of wave from knee to waist high.


PATCH: Small light breaks with patches of strength from time to time. Slow go but small as the day goes on not much of a change through out the rest of this nice calm day.

Daily Surf Report - 11/6/2016

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day." - Henry David Thoreau
 

Hallowed grounds that make no sounds as we find footing on freshly rinsed streets.  Deep pockets of inland fog with the horizon rosy and showing tinted hues of pink.  Temp of 58F and winds remain again silent and watching.  New NW swell resumes pulsations and though time has only been set back 1 hour it feels as if it has stood completely still.  Back to the grind with everyone on the hunt for waves of meaning and consequence.  A crystal conundrum as shape appears shifted or lifted allowing for more but giving less?


CHANNEL:  A bit top-heavy with tide and not likely to show marked change until the late afternoon retreat.  Plenty of water moving around from the Groin bar into the middle Channel and across the depths to the Seadrift confines.  All vessels of choice and skill levels converge as the nexus of the universe is here today.  Size can range, and does, from waist to head high.



PATCH:  Breakers from the depths unwind well outside and have proportions to allow for lengthy rides.  Upon the middle region there is a flattening and reformation as new waves rise from the ashes like a Phoenix.  Lesser in stature but equal in merriment for those looking to slash and dash rather than cruise.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning." - William Arthur Ward
 

Heady holding steady as the hits keep on coming.  Bolstered by another NW swell heading our way and filling in later in the day.  The wet and weary begin to pull dripping suits from roof racks and renew the process in search of more stoke.  Substantial lineup logjams as most have come to partake.  Overnight parking keeps open spaces to a minimum and a frenzied buzz can be felt in the air.  A return to Fall form as temps drop back down to typical 47F and though skies show swirling mist the sun begins to break through and the winds are currently silent.  Looks like a fun filled festival of Fall surf on tap through the weekend.  Giddy Up! 



CHANNEL:
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Thank you, Simone.



PATCH:
I had a vision last night,
That I was walking on a street of pure gold.
The street that I saw,
Is where I and I should have been,
But not until we stand up, fight for our rights.
Dreadlocks the time is now.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Show respect to all people but grovel to none." - Tecumseh
 

12' @ 12s from the NW with NE warm winds gently blowing on your neck and whispering in your ear.  Mega swell with enough steam to infiltrate all the nooks and crannies.  Mid to high tides all day has mucho macho water moving around but there is form and EVERYONE is here seeking shelter and sliiiiiides.  Early temp all the way up to 58F and parking was non-existent in the dark.  A cumbered situation that will require sorting and sifting to remain manageable.  Take a ticket. Take a turn.  Take a break.   

CHANNEL:
Vibration, sensation
Chatter up and it's an incantation
Revelation, elation
A little patience with the tribulations 

PATCH: Shifted angles and flowing tides allows for pulses to penetrate along many differing states.  Unaligned with our typical markers a widespread watery terrain elicits something for everyone and ampleness for all.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings." - Salvador Dali
 

Again we seek the nourishment to sustain stoke and fuel passions.  As another day of Fall ambition finds footing we are greeted with classic weather conditions.  Blue, clear and 48F outside.  No wind though the capacity to blow NE exists.  Silken ocean surfaces warbled by a new NW swell in evidence.  The parking lot crowd shows the anticipation and fervor as a steady stream meanders to the water's edge. 

CHANNEL: A notable upturn as NW swell precursor blips and dips follow their prescribed pathway towards shore.  Now as the tide has ebbed and pushes up we find rights along the Groin bar leading one into the Channel or along the primrose path to Mali-Bo.  Lefts in play not as fully charged or engaged quite yet.  Play the game but don't play the fool. 

PATCH: Enough west in the current swell to pique interest and drive demand.  Peaks will protrude, push and pop with enough juice to make logs sing and sway.  Moderate tides will cover all pieces of Gibraltar and allow for mellow slides and "hello" times.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill." - Buddha
 

The chill outweighs the will as huddled masses make moves to infiltrate.  As NW swell fades the winds become NE and favorable.  High low tides are still in play but as sand has been swept away the access is easy breezy in the morning.  Crystal clear skies and watery eyes make the whole world a blur of color.  Brrrrisk at 45F.  Let the sound be your siren guide and enter upon your own accord.

CHANNEL: Feeling but not reeling though significant energies are being expended. The effort to extract stoke is underway and what is ultimately being unearthed still remains to be seen and heard.  Majestic in its overall beauty as the morning secrets become unlocked.  Bust a move now as high tide waits for no one. 

PATCH: S swell has peaked and passed but leaves a few reminders of what was and can be.  Not as enticing upon first glance but smooth overall and full of serenity.  Delve deep into your inner self and find the true meaning of a surf session of solitude.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Begin to be now what you will be hereafter." - William James
 

As the days start to splash together the rest of the world is apart. The day will come with nice swells and good conditions. With a south swell clear as day, water temp is 59 deg with a nice and easy 53 deg outside. Cold start to a nice day after the rain as ended the sun comes out from hiding and today should be a good day for all.

CHANNEL: The day starts calm with the high tide rolling in and nice peaks at the breaks. Good start to the early morning. Sets rolling in fast and loud while the crystals in the water shine as the early sun wakens.

PATCH: Warm as can be the day starts of right with rights like never before. The south swell takes it all and moves up high in the sky. As high tides rolls in the waves begin to break with a critical face enjoying the nice calm day.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"I can live for two months on a good compliment." - Mark Twain 
 

As the storm passes though the high winds die as the water becomes still. With a new south swell, water being 58 deg and it is a brisk 50 deg this morning. Couple more days without the high winds and we'll be back on track with nice sets. 

CHANNEL: Winds die down with a chance of rain in the afternoon as strong sets roll in calm and small. The matter of having the right board is a factor in today's surf. 

PATCH: As high tides rolls in the waves begin to break with a crispy face enjoying the nice calm day.
