E's Surf Report: offshores! scored some waves..

yo! sounds like a few of you (dano, eightwest) scored "tasty" waves yesterday. very cool.. Cruised OB this morning around 6:30.. wind a faint offshore.. sea-surface basically groomed and scalloped.. looking good.. but.. for some reason the swell wasn't jiving with the sandbars/tide/vibe of OB this morning.. head-high waves would flirt with breaking on an outer bar and then dump quickly and violently on an inside sandbar.. A few nice sections presented themselves here and there.. but you'd be paddling and repositioning and duck-diving and cursing and jockeying to find your spot.. so.. onward.. rounded the hill into Pacifica and the flags are blowin hard *STRAIT OFFSHORE!* seriously!! i couldn't really believe it.. but.. the flags don't lie.. or.. do they?.. but.. they weren't this morning.. i checked Gazebos and almost solo sessioned there.. but after about 10 minutes of back-and-forth indecisiveness i concluded that the waves were too mushy and inconsistent.. although every few minutes a glorious, razor-edged section would rip and peel along, being held-up by the brisk offshores.. hmm.. at that point i knew i get slurf somewhere so i was stiz-oked.. onward through sharp park.. ehh.. almost.. maybe i'll come back.. then to Smoke-a-Jay.. hmm.. SE offshore breeze PERFECT for "the Jay".. swell not being received perfectly.. but.. waves were offering up some "skin" in the middle of the beach.. glassy conditions, shoulder-head high waves.. mostly closing but sometimes offering a steep, barrelly shoulder. only 2 others on it.. I surfed for about 75 minutes.. caught about 8 rides.. nothing great.. one pitching/racy left.. a few punchy rights.. pulled back on one i should have charged.. this one shortboarder got a little in-and-out barrel.. the sun came out.. the waves shut-down.. i rolled.. felt good to get back on it.. and.. offshore wind!! i kiss you, offshore wind!!

oh yeah.. the uber-heady sorcerer of wavefest fame.. bandini.. is putting together a sure-to-be-sick double header of surf flicks tomorrow night at the balboa theater.. Poor Specimen�s 3 Degrees and Billabong�s Frame Lines. 7:15 and 9:15... 38th and balboa.. april 17.. bring your stoke.. bring your nugs.. bring your popcorn.. bring your girly.. bring your dog!?
