7/23/12 - Blacks

Paddled out around 6am this morning and was hoping for it to be a little bit better than it was.  Wind was on it early which put a pretty good bump on the surface.  The waves looked tini when I was walking down but as soon as a bunch of people got out and gave up on it the sets started coming it.  Unfortunately the shape was pretty poor with unpredictable corners and bumpy conditions.  There were a few out there but not a whole lot.  Was hanging with Paul later in the session when the dolphins started getting frisky, jumping out of the water, charging right at me and then going underneath.  Water was warm but the slight wind with gray cold skies made it feel a lot colder.  Tide was a 0.34ft low at 6:23am rising to a 4.78ft at 1pm.  TP buoy showing primary swell at 2.3-2.8ft, 200 degrees at 15.3 seconds.
