Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter." - Mark Twain

 
No laughing matter and likely a day only Mr. Warmth could appreciate.  On and off heavy stuff coming down as a new deluge is upon us with rain gauges showing 1.5" or more.  Jupiter in Opposition and massive overnight winds which have since calmed but have left debris and dregs on both land and sea.  Hefty NW swell builds while plenty of SW windswell lingers.  Unfortunately a deep calming period will be required in order to make today a surf day for all but the most N facing beaches.  Try Wait. 

 

CHANNEL: Awash in heaps of whitewater and unformed in many aspects.  Lots of tide and much swell not mixing well with current S winds.  If the rain stops and the winds die off and the tide drops - there will be reason for another look see.  Not sure if any of that will happen today. 

PATCH:  SW windswell negotiating high tides and strong winds.  Ruinous remnants of varying proportions suitable for nothing involving slides or rides.  Whatever mileage we put on, we'll take off.  We'll drive home backwards.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"If you can believe it, the mind can achieve it." - Ronnie Lott

 
Selective and sporadic rain falls though not the heavy stuff for now.  Some associated S winds but not enough to keep stoke seekers away as a solid NW swell emerges and is lightly backed by a light SW pulse.  Temps hover at 50F and skies are misted over and clouded.  Neither glamorous nor glorious out but not uninviting either. 

 

CHANNEL: An amorphous pod hovers and hangs in anticipation.  As deeper tides arrive the Channel bar is where the group attempts their efforts.  Shuffling and shuttling along trying to align with the rhythm of the sea.  When it comes it contains surface texture and roams waist high and above.

PATCH:  Buffeted by winds and having the SW swell knocked down and out, it is currently the operational region of kayaks and surf casters.  Not sure either is having the best of luck at the moment.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Pay heed to the tale of old wives. It may well be that they alone keep in memory what it was once needful for the wise to know." J.R.R Tolkien

 
Slow start to the morning, as it seems this Wednesday has left countless people sitting in cars during that morning traffic. The water lays reflective, calm and sleeping it seems but leaves a whisper of something good later in the day as the NW swell lingers on. Catch them while you can for the 54F temperature is destined to rise but the sun is prophesied to stay hidden in anticipation for what this upcoming storm has in store.

 

CHANNEL: Do you remember that feeling when you were a little kid and you were so full and tired that it took all your energy to get ready for bed? That seems to be the mood here - full, groggy and completely empty. After a little nap and a change in water levels there is a promise in the wind that it will produce.

PATCH:  I see more people standing and kayaking than those using their own two hands to catch the wave. There are some waist high rollers but unless you like competing for wave I'd follow the waves that are not congested - they exist, one must only open their eyes.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Maybe it's just that you don't grow up any faster than what you have to." - Cormac McCarthy
 

Ripping, roaring and rocking it is not today. It seems the weekend has taken the waves with it and left some of the people. We are seeing a pick up of S swell coming in but it is just a taste as the NW windswell has filled out palate for the past while and are slowly but surely fading. There is a mixture of light grey clouds letting the sun peek through to offer up that 54F temperature with mild winds; safe to say, if you have not lost the kid inside of you, it may well be a day for play. 

 

CHANNEL: The lone sole heads out for a quick paddle as the surf here begins to pick up; seems as if someone has an eye for solitude and surf. Seeing some rollers peaking just at chest height giving way for a quick, desirable ride.

PATCH:  Populated and low it is. Some seem to be sitting ducks waiting for something that may never come, while others paddle ferociously, kicking to catch that calm, joyous ride.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"If you don't have a dream, there is no way to make one come true." - Steven Tyler
 

Subdued, to a degree, as the Monday work week rolls around.  Breakers, takers and booty shakers still linger for the larger combo-ing NW swells that remain in play.  Parking thin and dwindling in the early hours as dropping tides decrease rides.   Full sunshine and 47F with no wind in sight.  Feels like summer in April.

 

CHANNEL: Redeeming rollers go unoccupied as only those with keen eyes can spy opportunity.  Multiple bars showing poise and promise with swell angles tilted towards decency.  Size ranges with chest high routes to nirvana available.

PATCH:  Again drawing the most attention as residual NW forces mingle around and force their way upon Patch reefs.  Well, well outside is the land of the paddle wielders and long loggers with smooth faces going places if you are up for the journey.   Insider trader rights still have enough aqua coverage to reveal themselves and roll unimpeded towards shore.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"It takes madness to find out madness." - Lady Gregory
 

MADNESS on the rise this morning as streets are already packed full and fender benders have already occurred and will again. Keep your eyes peeled and watch where you step, cars dodging and willing to get the spot whether you're there or not. Tides lining up today, as the prime has already passed for the early hours and will not return for a few more. Swell doing A okay and everybody seems to know it.

CHANNEL: None choose, only to escape the crowd that keeps growing.

PATCH:  40+ people ranging from the boat ramp to the rocks and counting. Pounds of people headed that way still to be a part of the jungle. Knee-Thigh high  but consistent. Once again the word of the day is MADNESS.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain." -Victor Hugo
 

Early morning mystery turns into reality as the sun reveals what is unseen in  darkness. Some would say today is the day, the majority would agree. Bright light warms our faces and brings us to familiar places such as here, where we sit and wonder if it is us that's being called upon. Positive highs counter negative lows but as of now, all rocks are exposed. Keep an eye out for better hours, the best has yet to come.
 

CHANNEL: Blinding reflections forbid vision but one can assume the least. Little shore liners stumble in but have no meaning.

PATCH:  A game of dodge rock in action while few are to the task. If you tip toe and tread lightly it is possible to find what you're looking for. As of now your knees will stay dry.

"The sea hath fish for every man." -William Camden

Populations dwindle in the water but grow on the beach. A bright, sunny morning is upon us and the the true fans are already here. Windy and chilly but the light gives us hope. 57F currently but we wish for more more more. Extra low tides have cleared the walking way. Enjoy a view or two, for you may stay dry.

 

CHANNEL: Some hear the call, others refuse. Shin high or rocky? You'll have to choose.

PATCH:  Full rocky island exposed, but still enough water to wet your toes. Sets still coming in slow but steady, knee high and breezy.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose." - Dr. Seuss

The direction of the general population today doesn't seem to be out here to Bolinas as I saw more drivers out on a leisurely drive than those who were stoked to surf. Once again we got that WNW wind swell and a solid 55F temperature to quench our Thirsty Thursday; this time however, it seems we may stay parched for the wind is stirring up a whole bunch of choppy stew. Windy wet-willy anyone?

CHANNEL: I had a fellow viewer today looking at the channel and her thought process must of been thinking of one thing only: I made a huge mistake - similar to the mood in our country.

PATCH:  If you like a long paddle, a bumpy ride and some mediocre waves today is your day; the ocean is clear of humans, birds and seals from the look of it but you may just find yourself making friends with some rocks.

"Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms." - George Eliot

Wonky, wacky and distorted...what's next? As the tides come in the surfers start to trickle out and although that NW swell is still pushing in it seems the people have better things - or maybe they already got the best. Starting off the morning with a solid 57F temperature, in the words of Jim Jefferies, Bo baby, you might just be 7 and a damn good looker...too bad everyone has a not so desirable trait and yours just seems to be the wind today. Let's hope it simmers down and allows those rollers to keep on keeping on.....

CHANNEL: Anyone in the mood to share some kind words today? There seems to be a man out there all alone, lost and confused...someone please direct him towards the waves.

"Earth laughs in flowers" - Ralph waldo Emerson

 The lo-down in Bo-town. It is a Bo-utiful day out here. Sun has broken through what is now a misty covered mountain memory. Worms are donning their lifesavers and jumping into nature made swimming/pothole pools. Worm pool party already underway on Brighton Avenue. Word on the street, the sloth gang is coming. Word to the sloths - be careful driving out today, wet roads, potholes, puddles and such.

Currently 54 degrees outside!
Water up the ramp. Not much beach at this time.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Every human being is intended to have a character of their own; to be what no others are, and to do what no other can do." - William Ellery Channing

 
Overcast with early droplets from above.  Light and easing winds now from the NE with temps middling at 50F.  Expect a little sun and a light sprinkling of rain as that has been our norm.  A rather lively NW swell is roaming around with a bit of S windswell to keep everyone on their toes.  Burgeoning high tide threatens to swamp the scene so plan wisely and expect rapid changes.  
 

CHANNEL: Hefty helpings heaving along the corridor from the Channel across to Seadrift in the deeper waters.  Groin bar showing less energy but palatable lefts and nothing holding much in terms of lengthy rides.  Waist to chest and slightly above can be experienced or witnessed.  Incoming tide will soften as swell fades today.  

PATCH:  Enough S windswell and NW fragments to lure a large tribe of loggers.  A bit wonky in shape but generally smooth with wave heights marginalized around thigh to waist.  A bit too much water causing some slosh and splash but enough enticement to suit up for a go.

"You cannot grow unless you are willing to change.  You will never improve yourself if you cling to what used to be." - Leon Brown

 
Moon slivers above with deep fog below as we jump back into the fray after another day of rain.  Skies above are now rapidly clearing and related blue seeps forth.  Temp of 48F and all the winds quit last night.  Hefty NW swell topping out today with enough S windswell to make its movements known. Tidal swings like personality changes may effect your stoke levels today.  
 

CHANNEL: Divided peaks attempting extrapolation and consistency as new sandbars compete for your scrutiny.  All along the corridor from the Groin wall through the Channel and over to Seadrift shows options and opportunities to be seized.  Efforting at waist high +.  Incoming tide in the late morning will push up against the walls so let awareness be your word of the day.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." - Marcel Proust

 
Spring showers at all hours with occasional heavy stuff coming down.  Associated S winds keeps things mixed and well churned.  SW windswell is the predominant force this morning but mainly a disorderly and confused ocean.  Temps are 52F and the storm is predicted to be short lived which remains to be seen.  Some people might say you're going to get wet anyway so suit up.  The choice is always yours to make. 

 

CHANNEL: Surly and sour in the early light as current storm swirls and saps strength.  Chunky alternatives with little organization make for an exciting option though very little consistency.  



PATCH:  Steep S swell and the windswell options would be readily apparent here if it weren't for the storm and winds.  Finding no shelter or solace so far today.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Don't think or judge, just listen." - Sarah Dessen

Cleared skies with moon + sun as guides is a portent of a wonderful spring day.  Mounted WNW swell and a touch of S nearly hidden has this day on the radar for stoke and slides.  Temps manifesting early at 43F and rising with only the lightest of NW winds to contend with.  Early high tide now easing back has all things good aligned and those not working are in play.  Find where you fit in and occupy.  

 

CHANNEL: Energetic offerings with the higher water volumes as combined efforts from the NW reformulate.  Resilient rollers appear and rear with wave heights posturing at waist to chest.  Outgoing tide may help to forge better shape but for now there is something worth a hard stare and a short sampling.  



PATCH:  Smooth and sporadic as the S pulses are buried beneath.  A logging option as what shows goes and slows on the peaking tide.  As above, so below.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall." - Ray Bradbury

With zero rhyme or reason it seems that there is a stormy, choppy, and rugged day ahead of us. The break in the clouds and the 58F temperature leaves some hope but the wind, the storm and the tide seem to think otherwise. There's not a soul in sight but for the wet dog and his family but it seems even they too cannot match what the ocean has to offer today, as they retreat back to the comfort of their van. Although there seems to be a SW windswell, don't expect today to be smooth sailing; there is hope, but it may just be the same hope that came down with a crash on that one dispiriting night Tuesday, November 8th 2016.
 

CHANNEL: Picture this: there's a storm out in the ocean, there's no one else around you but there, in the distance is a lone pole with nothing surrounding it. That is what you may find here early this morning. 


PATCH:  Finally, back to the good old days where Bolinas locals have the patch to themselves....but even the lack of tourists on a Spring Break day doesn't seem enough to get them out there. Rugged, rampant, and ruthless.

"There's a storm coming...you and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all going to wonder how you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us." - Selena Kyle

With zero rhyme or reason it seems that there is a stormy, choppy, and rugged day ahead of us. The break in the clouds and the 58F temperature leaves some hope but the wind, the storm and the tide seem to think otherwise. There's not a soul in sight but for the wet dog and his family but it seems even they too cannot match what the ocean has to offer today, as they retreat back to the comfort of their van.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit." - Napoleon Hill

The Vernal Equinox is upon us and so the first real day of spring.  We are greeted and somewhat defeated by moderate NW winds determined to harsh the vibe and play the fool.  Intrepid car campers and damp beach sleepers rise as one to assess the scene and find a corner of stoke to start their season on a good note.  Temps flutter and hold at 56F and leftover swell and wind-bowls are the only charity.   
 

CHANNEL: High tide dropping but winds aren't stopping in a knock down drag out wage against smoothness.  Tormented and textured peaks drawing hard stares from breakers and takers as opportunity may have already knocked and moved on.  


PATCH:  Somewhat wind shaded but also less swell effected and therefore an option to consider.  Under knee high engagements are offered.  The tide is right and the time is now.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"It is impossible for people to learn what they think they already know." - Epictetus

New NW energy arrived as a late guest in the night but we see little morning evidence as it currently takes shelter and sleeps in.  Tepid temps of 55F and very light NE winds have us primed for more but realizing less.  Overcast skies with pockets of sun may remain but rains hold off for now.  Smooth ocean surfaces barely disturbed with infrequent undulations. 
 

CHANNEL: Periodic bursts of whitewater washings over reformed sandbars that want additional energy.  Knee high crumblers are the norm with deeper Channel offerings for those really willing to wait.  But, you never can tell. 



PATCH:  Minuscule movements of a right directional wave are detected and deflected by the longest of long logs.  Pull out the long plank and settle in my friends.   A good option today if you have no particular place to go.
