Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail." - Charles Kettering

 

Cool spots, warm airs, heavy zephyrs rule the day.  Favorable swell motions with a settled NW and growing SW are overwhelmed by current winds from the NE bringing the early temps way up to 64F.  Too much of a good thing is harshing the vibe and most locomotion is not by desire and decidely ungraceful.  Shield your eyes from blowing dusts and find seclusion until conditions are mediated. 

 

CHANNEL:  Tide push knocked down and back by growing gusts in the early hours.  Sand exposure seems greater in comparison to printed statistics.  Swell size and direction is ripe for surf activity but more water and less wind are the components presently unsuitable.  Buy time now for potential action later....

 

PATCH: Collectively conjured entertainment as big boards act as wind sails for those seeking to reach this destination.  Once safely sequestered upon said waters there is a shielding effect that allows hope to override common sense.  What breakers are in effect mature at knee to thigh heights.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"If you focus on results, you will never change.  If you focus on change, you will get results." - Jack Dixon

 

Miraculous morning sunrise and all systems remain on go for a premium mid-week offering.  Overnight cooling of both air and water greet the senses and get you wide awake.  E winds now bringing the warmth with temps up to 49F and climbing while sea temps seek a normalcy associated with 56F.  New NW swell is a solid quick hitter with durability to last the day.  Tides are swinging and savage so table consultation is a must to best take advantage of what may be in store.

 

CHANNEL:  Incoming tide options propel one to inside infiltration zones.  Somewhat unrefined activity but willing areas worth exploration.  A size expansion since yesterday has best bets above the human thigh.  Hermit crabs dispense knowledge and betting options for any willing to listen. Those that truly seek, usually find. 

 

PATCH: Re-activated and reactionary with rights rolling right on through.  Optimal tides early, overwhelming later and depleted at dark.  Choose wisely and always bring your biggest board to the party.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius.  Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius." - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

 

Wide open roads leading to open minds with a yellow orange sun welcoming this morning glory.  A cool 48 nips at our souls as we make our journey to the great big blue.  Quite and still, the sound of waves crashing against the boat ramp is all that can be heard.  Thumping tidal swings from high to negative low.  Perfect timing is key in order to ride the blue rhythmic tune.  Map out the plan and stick to it as those who have their eyes on the prize will achieve.

 

CHANNEL:  Slow ocean motion moving in until noon.  No white water in sight as the NW swell is taking the day off today.  Ankle over toe near the groin on tap this morning, with hopes of changing conditions this afternoon.  If you have always wanted to swim in the channel, today is your lucky day.

 

PATCH: Ruffely water feathers to shore.  Walking on water, wet feet numb with no beach insight till afternoon.  Switch your mindset like the tide and gather knowledge for tomorrow.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say 'I want to see the manager." - William S. Burroughs

 

A spectacular sunrise has sent it's beams to the beach. The people of town are already out walking and shouting on this fine Monday morning. Glassy waters reflect the bright light even more than usual, so keep your shades on and your brims low. The day is shaping up to be a good one, but the tides may say otherwise. Extreme late morning high tide drops to a great negative in a hurry. Now may be the time, if at all. Obey the laws of the land but please, don't throw rocks.

 

CHANNEL:  Water already running up the ramp for what seems to be the beginning of the high high tide. Nothing surfable around the groin at the moment, but sweet little sliders are breaking right off shore. (Good luck)

 

PATCH: Flat and shiny, but always worth a look. May shape up but also might overflow. Who's to say?

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun." - Duke Kahanamoku

 

Cool moist morning dew overlays beneath feet and a resounding bright sun rises above.  The humming of car engines drown out morning song birds praying for obtainable parking.  A cold 45 degrees outside as members of sea congregations gather for the remaining NW swell.  Act fast, the time for fun is now as tidal swings shift to negative this afternoon. 

 

CHANNEL:  Water lapping the boat ramp in a rhythmic tune making the approach difficult as the tide creeps in.  NW swell reinforcing it's hold in the water.  Groin sand bar holding for now as the tide rises helping create thigh high peelers.  More size on the Sea Drift side in the waist zone.  A couple dozen neoprene friends out celebrating with high fives and smiles. 

 

PATCH: Green wall over-spray covering backs while walking to smaller offerings.  If waves were like playgrounds, welcome to Middle School.  Lumps and bumps on the horizon materialize in a moody form.  Sometimes knee, sometimes ankle, it can't decide how to feel.  Take a chance and introduce yourself to the small lunch group already gathered.  Who knows, you may make a friend.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"A warm smile is the universal language of kindness." - William Arthur Ward

 

Encumbered attendees flood the scene and NW swell continues to mack.  Freshly cleared skies leave no doubt and temp rolls in at 42F to initiate the day.  NE winds again working to keep it clean but abundant tide swings may have other plans.  Grand amounts of water moving around and plenty of sliders bobbing, weaving and searching.  Full moon evening so at least get your crystals cleansed and recharged and remember Dave likes to sleep in on weekends. 

 

CHANNEL:  Tide pulsing and swell peaking makes this a congested arena.  Observation points swamped and entries require timing and persistence.  Enough swell to outweigh the water levels but bar corners are still the cleanest peaks to pick.  Nestle inside among the smoother breakers and avoid the outside mayhem the day is sure to bring.  Any and all board could be appropriate today and above waist high aspirations can be attained.

 

PATCH: High tide override as NW swell has enough juice to jump the reef.  Morning opportunities are limited by a simple supply v. demand curve.  Randomly disseminated breakers give the illusion of more.  Pick quality over quantity and accentuate the positive.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"The secret of achievement is to hold a picture of a successful outcome in your mind." - Henry David Thoreau

 

Ramp spillage sends the seekers scurrying for dry perches to observe.  Generous amounts of water and swell co-join forces to invigorate the morning.  Lifted fog by NE winds provide clearing skies and temp of 47F.  Altered angles allowing for deeper penetration of propulsive forces.  Tide swings keep it interesting and boundaries are being constantly expanded or improvised.

 

CHANNEL:  A peaked tide with depth to spare has momentum crashers and seawall splashers in spades.  Interior corners can be utilized for speed runs to shore.  External energies are the lure yet produce less often.  There is more than meets the eye and the new aspect of direction has favorable connotations. 

 

PATCH: More tide / Less swell.  Infiltrated with stand tall patronage pursuing out and back excursions.  Breakers are less present and swell course not favorable for morning slides.  Less water may allow for existential experiences but that remains an unknown at this time.  For now just BE.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Give everyday the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life." - Mark Twain

 

Creamsicle tints and a cool rinse with water temps hovering around 59F.  Not a product of global warming which apparently doesn't exist.  Put environmental concerns in the back of your mind and refocus on the task at hand - stoke seeking.  Vibrant skies to all open eyes and sun to warm the morning chills.  Grande NW swell has grown and honed its parameters but refuses a direct strike upon our shores.  Very high tide slowing momentum down but the forces are out there and will eventually be exposed. 

 

CHANNEL:  Steeped in high tide and overflowing it has drawn the shortboard ripper faction.  What is found lacks true juice with too much water and unaligned bars.  Smooth presentations with E wind grooming but needs less liquid to really formulate a plan.  Mid-lengths and longboards can still ferret out a session of waist high peelers.  Afternoon activities might be worth a look and see.

 

PATCH: Some goin' east, some goin' west.  Some step aside to try their best.  Some livin' big, but most livin' small.  They just can't even find no food at all.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"All great changes are proceeded by chaos." - Deepak Chopra

 

A call from the depths brings many to the edge of the world as NW mega swell formulates and fills in throughout the day.  Full sun and E winds keep it smooth on the surface and chilled in the air with early temps tickling the 30s and now up to 47F.  Resounding activity with potency to spare on tap over the next few days.  Newfound parameters may be set or exceeded as fall abundance is freely dispensed. 

 

CHANNEL:  Ripe with potential and initial possibilities upon tides verging on too high.  Settling in to an outgoing flow and lower levels of a manageable range.  Wider swaths of watery movements can be expected and collected with residual sandbars finding new life expectancy.  Currently not yet booming or banging except up against the seawall, but breakers with consistency roll through with size finding many waists. 

 

PATCH: Exceeding expectations with no mobilization from the S.  NW swell overflowing the outer reef upon higher tides and letting some of the energy in and out.  Local barnacles enjoy the prismatic views and partake in miscellaneous rides most yielding the right of way.

"Don't write what you think people want to read.  Find your voice and write about what's in your heart." - Quentin Tarantino

 

Blazing sunshine reaching across the crystal clear blue sky while birds and frogs hum along kick starts today's cycle.  Post holiday routines setting in with a calm and sigh of relief.  Holding hot coffee trying to keep white fingers at bay hoping the sea has once again returned to familiar patterns.  Cold air bites back as we make our way to the end of the earth anticipating our first step into liquid.

 

CHANNEL:  A cold 45 outside and parking is plenty making room for long logs.  Left over storm motion in the ocean giving mixed signals.  Fading WNW swell showing this morning though soon fading as the afternoon rolls in.  Ruffly on the sets as waves are near high and ride-able in the center of the channel.  Fun rides all the way to the finish line with out going tide making the walk back to the start delightful.

 

PATCH: You can't make mountains out of mole hills.  Though you can make mountains out of sand.  Don't forget to decorate with your favorite crystal and recharge with positivity.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"The more you sit and wait, the more you have to do." - Toby

 

The streets are slick with yesterday's rain as well as debris from the night storm yet bright sunshine brings us light once more. The days of gray skies have passed and we are given a gift today. The storm has passed but the sea water is still coming in frantically. Tons of movement in the water but not ideal conditions.

 

CHANNEL: Will it be worth the paddle out? Water is rushing in with the power of what is left over from yesterday's storm. Waves to ride, but breaking almost on top of one another. Be careful and know your limits. Definitely surfable at the moment but a little sloppy / choppy.

 

PATCH: Heavy happenings but only 3 there to witness.  Not the safest of conditions, but a beautiful day. Waist high + but stormy and fast moving. Better off waiting for something calmer if you seek serenity.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Cause I think we can make it, in fact, I'm sure; And if you fall, stand tall and come back for more." - Tupac

 

Moody, dark and gray sky, not giving way to the suns light sets the tone for the day.  Turbulent winds whipping through, stinging our eyes and chilling our bones, the promised storm has arrived.  Sheets of rain plummeting sideways before hitting the ground.  Huddled warm under blankets pondering, should I stay or should I go?  Chances are if you have to ask, you already know the answer.  

 

CHANNEL: 20mph howling winds creating dangerous victory at sea conditions.  Soupy, angry and churning white water cover the entire groin area.  WNW and SW swell try and build through but can't break the winds force.  The ocean is angry, be careful, be safe.

 

PATCH: Fill your breakfast bowl with an extra helping of pumpkin pie and vanilla ice cream.  It's a great day to be cozy inside while watching NFL football and surf videos.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing." - Socrates

 

Fire in the sky with a sunrise worth the wait and the watching.  Vibrations feel positive and winds from the ESE bring a Fall warmth normally associated with summer.  A brewing storm holding off for now and patiently waiting its turn in the weather cycle.  Temp already 64F and will continue to rise.  Diminishing swells to last a final day so double sessions may well be in order.  Follow Mayor McCheese to magical kingdoms as he delves deeps to unlock the stoke today.

 

CHANNEL: Marginal movements in the tidal flux means plenty of water during the entire day.  Softy energized swell scraps are still being cobbled together to form a legitimate assembly.  A rogue gallery of contrived water craft are hitting the sands with opportunists seizing the day.  Again a wide spread of options awaits with most traversing the miles to deliver thigh high + breakers.

 

PATCH: Seeking another day of existence and basking in full sunlight and hospitality.  Logger's Delight backed with SugarHill undertones.  Find a beat, get to your feet, find the nose, curl your toes.  Besides, Dave needs a double dip and triple rinse today.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"When people are ready to change, they change." - Andy Warhol

 

A fog of great depth clears at the water's edge and coastal climate again remains mild and clear.  Temps hover at 57F and light winds from the E carry more warmth and refining capabilities.  Collaborative swells on the fade still have residuals worth investigation and the parking is already thin and constrained.  Not much ocean motion tidal movement to facilitate changes of consequence but the day holds promise and wonder yet undiscovered.

 

CHANNEL: Spaced and sporadic but finding miscellaneous bars upon which to operate.  A spread configuration with options linked along to Seadrift and beyond.   Popping peaks with directional designs both right and left can both excite and disappoint in their final outcome.  Potentially suited for logs and mid-lengths; the only variable is you.  

 

PATCH: Relative rights with heights yearning for thighs and full sunshine to keep it golden.  Post holiday crew on school break have involved themselves in this region to keep it lively and interesting.  Bigger boards the better option as propulsion has softened but stoke can and will be sourced.

Pre-planning and positioning to best take advantage of free time and the coming feast.  Pink and blue complexion above makes one humble in the presence of such splendor.  E winds coupled with high pressure sends the temps soaring and starting today at 68F.  Visitors, vagrants, visionaries and stags roam freely, each of their own intent.  Wind-swells containing various westerly movements and tides of mid range height fuel expectations and reality. 

 

CHANNEL: Micro groomed and sassy with newfound locomotion.  Rearrangement of the sandbars still not formalized but under construction.  The zone is open to seekers with speed bumps and warnings posted.  Thigh high configurations are being propagated and proliferated. 

 

PATCH: WSW engagements and the rising tide re-energize the zone.  Loggers from far and wide survey and souffle before making the trek.  Sourced rights are spacial and sporadic but once lined up will suffice for slides.  Gentleman Jack leads the procession and should be given a wide berth based on both age and beauty.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"May your stuffing be tasty, May your turkey plump, May your potatoes and gravy have hardly a lump.  May your yams be delicious and your pies take the prize, and may your Thanksgiving dinner stay off your thighs" - Grandpa Jones

 

Wispy paint strokes of vibrant gray, pink and blue hues fill the morning sky as gusts of cool wind fill the void.  The last school bus of the week breaks the silence in our humble town.  Parking is plenty for now as ocean worshipers find new ways to pass time.  The calm before the Thanksgiving holiday barrage is upon us.  Enjoy the temporary silence in all its glory.

 

CHANNEL: Sunny and glassy with micro shin over ankle bumps and lumps.  Mid WNW swell filling in till after noon with a promise of SW arriving late.  Incoming tide making the channel swampy for now.  Keeping fingers nubs and toe stubs crossed in hopes of out going tide in the afternoon will create some energy over the groin sand bar.  Waiting is the game to play for now.

 

PATCH: FLAT: /flat/ - adjective - smooth and even; without marked lumps or indentations.  Synonyms: level, horizontal.  PANCAKE: /pan kak/ - noun- a thin flat cake of batter, usually fried and turned in a pan.  Synonyms: hotcake, flapjack, griddle cake.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." - Sun Tzu

 

Lake Bolinas in affect this morning, with not even a ray of sunshine to enjoy. No place can compare to it's beauty, but we have seen better days. Cold and cloudy, a breeze blows your hair on the fridgid walk to see what is no longer. With tides in between, no movement other than the ripples of a curious seal surround a kayak that roams the still water. Conditions may get better with the significant drop in tide, but that is a waiting game to play.

 

CHANNEL: Little lippers topple over near the pole, but nothing to get excited about. These puppies wouldn't move an inner tube. The water is mostly still, needs tidal movement to improve.

 

PATCH: No water breaking, not even the silence. A quiet day becomes quieter with the last remaining logger walking in. No company will be made here, unless you speak gull.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"For those who like to rock, we salute you." - ACDC

 

Log jammin' in the parking lot reminiscing over coffee, Saturday nights sushi celebration.  Incandescent sun stretching over blue, brakes the ice this beautiful morning.  Red tail hawks calling overhead leading the way to shore of what we yearn for.  Smiling faces from different places gathering for the same cause.  It's a great day to get wet and share Poseidon's kingdom.

 

CHANNEL: Modest wave movements through churning incoming tide, sharing knee to thigh rides with schooner vessels.  A mash up of NW/SW swell throughout the day with air temps clocking out at a 59 high.  Sand bars slightly visible this morning soon to disappear as water blankets the  area.  Be choosy with the equipment as fun rights are to be had on long logs.

 

PATCH: Livin' easy, Livin' free, Season ticket on a one way ride, Askin' nothing, Leave me be, Takin' everythin' in my stride, Don't need reason, Don't need rhyme, Ain't nothin' that I'd rather do, Goin' down, Party time, My friends are gonna be there too.

Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"To hell with circumstances; create opportunities." - Bruce Lee

 

First hints of frost with overnight temps chilled out and down to the 30s.  Toes and finger nubs burn with desire with the walk being far colder than the ocean reality.  Cleared and sunny skies have returned and the business of finding slides commences once again.  NW windswell remains while the SW attempts to gain and both will provide adequate action for the weekend seekers. 

 

CHANNEL: A little steep and tide getting deep.  Early risers reap better benefits at the crack of day.  Windswell trailers veering more right than left lack size but resolve with length of ride.  A smoothness typically associated with Fall weather and sunscreen application still a must.  Dip and drip then give it some time to refuel and refresh as the outgoing tide will formulate new directions.

 

PATCH: Advanced research leads most candidates this direction.  SW swell has slightly grown and is inclined to show some range of possibility for the willing logger.   Rights reaching thighs and hopeful to gain traction are on the offering block today.  Tide remains full and ample until the early dark.
