really bad

Robbie made the great call this morning and skipped the surf.. fog and wind coupled with hacked, white-capped sea-surface and no swell to produce some really shitty conditions.. It took Jerm and I all of 3 seconds to decide not to surf.. HOWEVER!!! this is the email i received from my oceanographer friend Dan about the NW swell on its way...

"Hey guys looks like our first nw swell for the winter will arrive
tues/wed this next week. Very steep northerly angle, so santa cruz won't get
much, but swell could be as big as 8 at 17sec for ocean beach northward. We
may form a crew to come up to the beach tues or wed for the day. Let me
know who's interested..."

SOOO.. that's should be sweet..

some fun waves were on hand yesterday at OB. We witnessed some top-notch shredding at Kelly's, too.. A couple groms amping really hard and then a few older lads showing them a thing or two.. airs, floaters, giant hacks, flowy surfing, etc.. it was fun to watch.

here is some fun surf art






Christ, check it out -- looks we will have energy in the water for 3 or 4 days:

And here is something that indicates midweek offshore flow:

I will be in WA state thursday onward, definitely want to hit Wednesday AM.

Robme.. that's sick news bro! especially this statement: "WILL ALLOW WEAK TO
MODERATE OFFSHORE FLOW TO DEVELOP"

OFFSHORE WINDS!!! that would be the best ever!

what's going on in WA? Talked to Marcus Saunders the other day and he told me he scored some of the best waves of his wave-filled life in washington state last week! he surfed the lefts along the Strait, south of vancouver island.. he said he caught some of the longest rides of his life!!


sorry folks if Robme's insightful links are bitchily displayed in this little popup window..i need to fix that shit.. in the meantime if you want to add links to your comments that are clickable you can use the (target="_blank") code within your tag and the link will open in a new browser window.. or.. whatevs!

That Wavewatch model definitely shows some northerly juice coming our way! And nice wind link, Robbie.

Got back from the midwest last night. Didn't get any on the Great Lakes. Looking forward to getting wet again but bummin' with a summer cold.

If you click the time at the end of one of E's posts rather than the 'Comments' link, the same comments page will open up in your main browser window rather than in the little popup window. E, we can change the comments link to do this and ditch the little popup window altogether if you want. I don't think there's a way to get the blog software to add target="_blank" to the auto-linked urls in comments.

word.. glad to have you back MWers! Jerm and i are anxiously awaiting sordid tales from back-woods/bumblefuck Michigan.. word is already circulating about some kind of illicite fondling by some previously stuck-up, cute, preppy biatch?? inquiring minds want to know!

i kind-of like having the comments popup.. but.. anyone else out there feel strongly one way or another?

Regarding the popups: I always view it in-line, like Matt says, but by clicking on the date on the calendar.

Regarding the surf: I just got outta the water. Some kinda juice is starting to show up, winds light offshore, shoulder high and rippable on sets. Bikinis, etc. Kellys suxxxx crowd wise. Obnoxious. I finally came to the sad realization that I just wasn't ever gonna be part of the Ft Point gang, and paddled down to Cabrillo for a much better time.

Heh heh... I'll just say that it was the first time I had someone tryin' to freak me on the dance floor while watching a death metal band... More offline (sorry folks)...

About that art --

Where's the one on the left from?

The one on the right is definately a frame from an old Rick Griffin comic strip. He did a lot of early surf mag art in the 60's, and he also did a lot of trippy album covers in the 70's and some amazing paintings and illustrations. He died on PCH in a motorcycle accident, traveling up the coast to recon some mysto spots, I hear.
