E's Surf Report: errrggllee.

well.. there are waves.. there are also relatively biatchy WSW winds hacking and blowing and disturbing.. The sea-surface at Sloat wasn't crazed or totally disheveled... but most waves ended up crumbling or flopping over instead of peeling nicely.. at least that's how it looked from the lot. I think that if you actually sacked up and paddled out you'd probably score a handful of fun, peeling head-high rides.. but you'd also be dealing with disorganized closeouts, duckdiving.. onshore wind in your face and nobody else around.. I headed south in the hopes that the southerly origins of the winds would enable some better conditions in P-tizzle. Checked Green-Globule-Man's domain at Smoke-A-Jay.. Horrible.. hacked surface with 90% closeouts. shoulder high.. nobody out.. Lindy looking pretty similar.. the WSW wind kinda grooming the very south end of the cove.. but no waves were breaking down there.. a handful of loggers were actually scoring a few rides in the middle.. nothing great but they were going down the line for an instant before the inevitable closeout.. i thought about it for a sec but headed back to Rockaway for a second look.. Back to Smoke-OK and i notice a somewhat interesting right peel along.. hmmm.. watched for a few more minutes and eventually saw another agreeable section.. took my wetty out of the car and turned it inside out.. got ready to put it on.. watching and waiting for that third example of rideability to present itself.. waiting.. waiting.. closeouts... sloppy closeouts.. sloppy/flabby/upchucky/fugly closeout after closeout.. onshore winds in my face.. garbled surface.. no more good ones coming through... i'm audi.. no surf.. maybe tomorrow!!

or.. if you scour the coast you will probably find some niceness somewhere..

good luck!!

people have been discussing south swell headed our way.. nobody is predicting a massive whopping south swell. more like just a background utility swell..
Surpulse predicts 1ft 17seconds from 205 degrees and peaking on sunday night or monday. soo.. that's not that serious.. Blakestah predicts, "2-3 ft south from 190 due in next Monday through Wednesday, should have 17 second energy"... soo.. we'll see what happens.. Santa Cruz area breaks should be packed to the gills with labor day wave-riders.. everyone waiting to catch one of the sparse south swell set waves.. ugg.. santa cruz is such a double-edged sword.. best waves around.. worst crowd and vibe scene EVER!! well.. except for our little spots when they happen..

in other news.. I'm officially moving down to the beach!!!! Scored an uber-cute, small little cottage with a garden and a fireplace and sunlights in the ceiling.. It's basically one big room with a little kitchen and bathroom attached.. two big pine trees in the yard.. and i can WALK TO SURF now!!!! so psyched!!

kewl..
