12/4/12 - Blacks

Surfed this morning shortly after 6am.  Waves were in the waist high range and pretty mushy today.  Paddled out solo for the first hour and then Russ joined later on.  The conditions seemed to get a little bit better with the slow rising tide but not much.  Hardly and wind and relatively warm as well.  Had a seal pop up right next   to me on the inside.  TP buoy showing declining swell at 1.7 -2.3 ft, 11secs, 277 degrees, combined sea height at 3ft.
