8/6/12 - Blacks

Met Russ at the gliderport at 6am and headed down on this warm summer morning.  Conditions looked decent when we walking out with very little wind and finally some waves!  Sets were in the waist high + range but unfortunately the shoulders were pretty soft and the sets took a really long time to come in.  At least the water was nice and warm and it wasn't that crowed so still had fun.  For some reason I was just super tired today but still managed to get a couple waves that were decent.  Tide was rising from around 1ft this at 6:20am to 5ft at 1pm.  TP buoy showing 1.8-2.2ft range from 198 degrees at 16.5 seconds with the combined sea height at 3.2ft.  Paddled out first at north peak and finally ended up on middles.  Also worth mentioning is that yesterday when we were checking it was spotted a couple young whales straight off the cliffs jumping out of the water which was pretty cool and was the first time I've seen one in SD.
