E's Surf Report: dunno

well.. based on the fact that i skipped surf to come in to work early, i'm sure the conditions are unbelievable.. probably about head high with tons of waves, offshore winds, bikinis on the beach, clear/turquoise water, feathering lips and only a few heads in the water.. ahh... we'll have to wait for a report from Lerm or Robme or Tom or Kaiser or Scott or somebody for the real scoop.. The cams all show too much fog to see the waves but the weather was bright, clear and crisp this morning in the middle-sunset district, with very little wind. According to the wind charts there is a very mellow onshore flow at the beach.. I guess that a new NW swell will start to develop this afternoon or tomorrow and then rage through wed and thursday.. Predicted 17sec energy will probably light up spots like Mavericks.. Dan Jones predicts that OB will be maxed out and he says that Thursday is the "call in sick" day..

surf this weekend in the bay area showed patches of intrigue, but was otherwise mediocre. Saturday (my birthday!) Lerm and i headed down to Lindy.. The wind blew out of the SW so we figured that a ride further down the coast wouldn't be that fruitful.. Schmlindy was throwing up some overhead, crushing close-out bombies along with a smattering of barely rideable, fast-peeling walls.. Lerm nabbed a few fun ones and i caught one memorable right were i pumped along for a second then steered up to the top of the wave and began a sizeable floater before i veered off the back of the wave instead of completing the maneuver down to the base of the wave.. Cruised home after the sesh only to be surprised by many of my friends at a surprise BBQ at my house.. Many beers and bowls and crispy-creme donuts later Cranial Bulge (featuring Dr. X) put on an inpromptu concert in our backyard.. Ladies were swooning and guys were pumping their fists as we rocked da "proverbial" hizouse. Later that night at a holloween party the swill was again flowing and the scantily-clad "naughty schoolgirl" and "naughty secretary" and "naughty mermaid" and "naughty zombie" were all slanking around in their hollows-eve skimpyest.. It was enough to make this jaded wave-warrier blush and smile.

Sunday saw more rideable conditions at OB... but when i surfed (around 11am) the tide was real high and the big beasts were breaking mushily and then petering out before reforming into disorganized skull-crunching chaos on the inside.. eh.. but at least we weren't forced to surf Lindy!
