improved? south showing?

It smelled of improvement this morning. After a heavy early morning downpour the winds abated and the sea surface became taut. Niceness correspondent Lerm informed that the south swell even looked to be showing, albeit inconsistent and lacking in oomph. A few takers braved the mediocre yet pleasurable conditions. The possibilities for wave riding remain high. Sorrowfully, i had to jettison into work early and missed the mellow summer friday-morn session.

first-hand accounts anyone?

SOo.. this weekend ought to be a zoo anywhere with southern exposure. It might be a perfect opportunity to voyage to your favorite little low-key south swell stash spot and hunker down for some long-period pleasantries? Maybe a few hours north.. maybe a few hours south? hmmm.. look at some maps, consider the wind, seek and ye shall find.

Right now is the only real moment. Past and future exist only as probable mental constructs. The grim reaper lurks around the corner. Societal machinations clammer to lock you into patterned grooves. You have total control of your destiny. You bear total responsibility for who you are. When in doubt, give. When in love, savour. When in pain, remember and empathize. Remember to listen. Concentrate on listening. Concentrate on hearing.
Enjoy!

There was a little south out there this morning, not dominate but you could tell by the increase in angley little bowly sections. Definite longer period sets (mini) working.
It was sooo nice to wake up call Windtalker and hear her in single digits!!!

"You have total control of your destiny." dig it!! words to live by if i ever heard 'em. nice.

as for slurf...i stood somewhere west of the Great Highway at 6:30 with my rose-colored glasses trying to find a sumptuous peak. i had almost convinced myself, when a buddy arrived on the scene and spun a compelling tale that had to do with a pancake point serving up glassy smooth flapjacks and bottomless coffee. i was won over by his tale and enjoyed a killah breaky sesh.

if you want to seek uncrowded surf, look for exposed north facing breaks. thats where the best waves will be. seriously.... emeryville is going off i heard.

good surfing to all and to all a good day.

Posted by: elias at May 28, 2004 10:48 AM

could have been a mirage brought on lack of surf but it looked kind of fun around 9:30 at the northern end. but i had to come to this place. heard a certain fort in marin has been fun.

Posted by: bagel at May 28, 2004 10:49 AM

If the wind don't rise too bad, I'll try to hit it after work. Having surfed only twice in the last month, I'll be seriously kookin' it up, so beware!

Posted by: Jimmie at May 28, 2004 10:52 AM

mid-beach was showing signs of something this am. small but there was a little bit of shape and the wind wasn't too bad. I failed to surf well after a couple of weeks off. surfers were way outnumbered by fisherman, does anybody know what is bringing 'em all out? I saw a sea lion chowing down on something but I couldn't tell what it was.

Posted by: eric at May 28, 2004 10:53 AM

db says that the winds will soon be upon us. but hopefully not until after a lunchtime session today -- any takers?

here's an update from the court system, a little something to help barbara streisand reflect on the past...

Streisand must pay legal fees of opponent

slurfy slurfy

caught sharkbait on her morning dog walk as we were finishing up. Better than it never was. A few peeling waist high mushies. Better than a poke in the eye. Lots of vellellas.

Surfed for 90 minutes, got 2-3 waves that could be considered "rides" and about 50 other waves that could be considered "mush".

However, northwest wind is about to do its thing late this afternoon.

Almost forgot to say where I surfed.

Posted by: blakestah at May 28, 2004 10:55 AM

Please note: The partner of Streisand's opponent is a famous OB lawyer/coastline protector/Great Highway resident/long-blond-haired hippie cat herder. I'm guessing the legal fees probably go to him.

Also, when Jimmie says "lookout", that means large quantities of foam and glass will be hauling indiscriminately down the line at anything that moves...

Posted by: blakestah at May 28, 2004 11:02 AM

i ended up going out after all. hadn't surfed since last saturday. every 10 minutes or so, a nice little head high south set would come through. i was glad i went out. hopefully the wind holds off for the arvo sesh.

Posted by: lerm at May 28, 2004 11:18 AM

Good morning Blakestah - nice to see a friendly face, would have stopped a sec to chat but you seemed indisposed at the moment. Again, lovely surfboard.

OB: lunchie looks like micro peelers on the sand. Ankle to waist sporadically up and down the beach. Onshores not so bad, the sun is breaking through the drizzle. Conditions have been highly changeable today so who knows where it will be in 15 minutes? A few takers walking in and out all morning. Slow rides, lots of waiting... but at least that's a nice change from the usual unrelenting -scramble-for-your-life that is so predominant at this here beach. Have seen some south angles and even some juicier waves earlier this am around 9ish, but nothing steady or certain yet. Cheers,

woke on the cold sand, rolled over, stretched and let the backwash pull me into the foamy blue. set sail for the north end. felt the southie push me closer to the rocky cliffs-potential peril. sharp barnacles etc. tough terrain...
made it to my fav n peak, only to find a couple thousand kookies already hogging the section.
fucking cellphones.
farking seals. Always taking off deeper, later, reckless, no respect for the spinally deficient species.
another crowded lineup, lotsavibes, and notlotsa swell. shit, left SC for all the same reasons
deflated, headed for the sand and smellier horizons. maybe tomorrow


Posted by: slimyblunumerouno at May 28, 2004 11:28 AM

Oh, come on blakestah - "...anything that moves."!? You know I much prefer a stationary target!

Posted by: Jimmie at May 28, 2004 11:46 AM

VK can surf?

Posted by: Blumpie at May 28, 2004 11:57 AM

eric...re the crowded fisherman line-up...i'm note 100% certain, but here's my $0.02...

...during the sping/summer the near-shore fish stocks rise so there's more to catch and, hence, more motivation to fish. i think it has to do with a combination of upwellings creating more nutrient water and seasonal cycles (e.g., salmon returning to the rivers and streams from which they came to spawn). that's one of the reasons why, in addition to increased fisherman density, we see more sea lions, etc. in the water during summer. the eatin's good and it's time to get fat for the winter! of course...the nutrients attract the small fish...the small fish attract the medium fish...the medium fish attract the sea lions...the sea lions attract you know who. that's the downside. well...in addition to lack of swell and those damn onshores! ; )

Posted by: ck at May 28, 2004 12:07 PM

oops...that's "not 100% certain". ; )

Posted by: ck at May 28, 2004 12:09 PM

speaking of the landlord..

this just in from Sonoma County legend Daily Dale Wavestar,

"Fifty Sonoma county surfers got scared out of the water today, 5-28 when a Great White Shark bumped a surfer off his board. The shark came back and the surfer hit it with his Surftech. lots of splashing but no one was hurt
I guess even sharks can't stand cooler foam pop outs but that is no reason to dive one."

Posted by: e at May 28, 2004 12:15 PM

copy of the e mail i sent my friend at about noon today--relates to an undisclosed south facing location in Marin county with a cliff, parking lot, big yellow busses, cold war leftovers ...need any more clues.
hey man, the south is definitely here
nice peeling rights mostly chest high ...no wind
occasional lefts ...no wind
the beach sweeper sets were head high ... mostly close outs
back wash generated some surprise jacking
the wise men in the line up proclaimed it would be better later ..yeah yeah yeah
did I say no wind

Posted by: over the falls at May 28, 2004 01:39 PM

Damn, Whitey is back and in full effect!

E, those are some *nice* shots you posted. I am glad you can recognize that VK is not just a bumbling surfer and that she has deeper aspirations..... Oh, wait.....

Anyway, I just came up with a plan so listen up! Since Blakestah is calling for a this big south swell to hit starting next Wednesday/Thursday, I have decided to be the sacrificial lamb on this one. Here is what is gonna happen: Along with my fellow explorer CK, we are going to head over to the islands in a few hours to "scout" the swell. We will be sampling the usual: the swell period, wave heights, consistancy, water temps., wahines, etc. Upon return, we will have a full book report to present. None of this clif-note shit. Nope. Full-on report including the tidal interaction and the swell angle vs. reef harnessing power.

We will present our findings next Thursday west of and land-mass, somewhere between 2nd lot Sloat and the Beach Chalet.

Winds permitting of course.

Until then....... Enjoy my parting gift......

damn e, i'm headed for the marin-oma area tomorrow! was that at s----- c---k?

Posted by: loon at May 28, 2004 01:45 PM

ck & kaiser: hope you find some niceness out there, have a great trip!

Posted by: loon at May 28, 2004 01:58 PM

OB update: early post, but the winds are on it and it's looking really blown. Sorry kids!

Don't shoot the messenger!

Bon voyage Kaiser and ck

Posted by: s.s. sharkbait at May 28, 2004 02:15 PM

CK thanks for your $0.02. There were like 15 guys all casting on to the sandbar just south of the rip I paddled out in this morning. Seemed like more than the usual 1 or 2, I guess I was wondering if there is some special run going on right now. The food chain is cool as long as I'm allowed to remain a neutral observer. Have a good time researching the south swell.

Posted by: eric at May 28, 2004 02:29 PM

I talked with one of the fishermen this morning and they're going after stripped bass, which school up near the beach during June, July and August. So there will probably be a lot of hooks in the water for the next few months.

Posted by: chopper at May 28, 2004 02:36 PM

south pacific dreamin' (enjoy it ck and kaiser!)

Posted by: e at May 28, 2004 03:36 PM

Kaiser,

Are you heading to Oahu? If so, drop me a line if you want to surf.

Lane inconsistent but pretty fun this morning with a few head high sets. Longboard contest tomorrow so the logs dominated the slot today warming up. Posting some shots tonight on the site. Some of these guys were incredibly good.

Posted by: Bruce at May 28, 2004 06:11 PM

got on it oily and snagged a bunch. Nice thing was everyone spaced out on different peaks: one way crack o' dawn lb charger, me, two grems for like the first hour. missed about every ten to fifteen minute outside roller, but the numerous midsizers made up for it. Have to laugh when I can catch two tasty minisessions in one week, in the middle of spring onshore hell.

Posted by: banjo at May 28, 2004 10:52 PM

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!! hope the rest of you got it good this weekend.

Posted by: j at May 31, 2004 06:03 PM

Yo, two very thinly veiled posts about the same spot in this thread? Please don't post about our surf spot on the internet, it's crowded enough. Please show some respect.
