2/11/12 - Blacks

B scooped me up today and we hit the dawn patrol at 6:30.  Tide was at 1.5 feet going high to a little over 4ft at 11am.  Luckily we got it early because after about 45 minutes the wind started sweeping onshore and made it look like a raging rapids.  Decent size at head high with slight overhead sets over at middles.  Rides were pretty short and had a few good right drop ins, until I got caught in the inside toilet bowl.   I had to actually give up the paddle after at least a 15 minute, level 5 river rapids paddle session.  Walked down a bit more North and paddled out again only to catch one more since the winds were just destroying it.  TP buoy definitely showing the tell tale sign of being blown out now with the majority of the swell coming in <8 sec intervals.  Station 100 - 3.1 - 3.9ft at 272 degrees @ 13.1 secs.  Winds were slightly S at about 5mph upon arrival and by the time we left at 8:30 they were already 15mph from the E.
