11/23/12 -Sunset Cliffs, Subs

Surfed the Cliffs with B and J on this gloomy day dark afternoon.  I picked them up first and we all paddled out at Subs.  Waves were decent size but they were mushy and overall pretty crappy with the incoming tide. We only stayed out for about an hour before calling it quits.

11/22/12 - Sunset Cliffs - Subs

Surfed this Thanksgiving day at Subs today with J and B.  Headed down first solo and followed the "Don" down the trail to get to the break.  Tried out the new 6'6" which was a perfect board for the cliffs for the paddle factor alone.  Waves were head high to a few feet over head with some really fun long rides and some race track reform sections.  There was a decent sized crowd and the sets took a really long time to come in but the ones that did were a really fun.

11/21/12 - Blacks

A lot more fun today with waves in the waist to shoulder high range again but much better faces to the wave with some nice racey sections.  Lefts seemed to form better.  Stayed on north peak in front of the Ho Chi with Russ with Paul joining us later.  Strong rip current just south of the trail.

11/20/12 - Blacks

Headed down this morning from the Ho Chi Men trail right after B went down.  There were a couple fun ones but overall kind of another mushy morning sessions with tide swapping things out.  Waves were in the waist to shoulder range.  Got out around 8 for the slick walk up the trail after the light rains.

11/18/12 - Blacks

Pulled up to a crowded glider port parking lot this morning to meet Russ at around 6:30am.  There were a couple of fun ones but not that many with the waves in the waist high range but mostly mushy with a few of them lining up here and there.  Stayed on north peak for most of day.  There was a rainbow straight out for the first 15 minutes with slight showers rolling through for a bit.  Light to no wind.  TP buoy showing 2.3-2.9 ft, combined 3.3ft, 260-278 degrees.

11/17/12 - Blacks

Went down this morning from the Ho Chi Men trail.  Not much for surf today with the waves being really inconsistant, closed out, and knee to waist high range.  Only stayed out for about 20 minutes before calling it quits.

11/11/12 - PB Drive

Surfed PB drive this morning for the first time in about a year.   Checked all the spots from Blacks down but I think the tide just started pulling back a bit by the time I got down to PB.  Paddled out solo at first and then B joined up for the sesh.  There were a couple of ok ones for the first hour but then the swell rapidly just died off.  It's definitely starting to feel like winter out there and could have easily worn booties.

11/8/12 - Blacks

Headed down this rainy morning from Farms Rd.  Waves were mostly in the waist high range with a bit of storm funk to it but definitely a few fun ones at first.  It looked like it was going to get better with the 5mph offshore winds and some of the waves opening up, but then the tide kept dropping and then it pretty much went flat.  Hardly anyone in the lineup today with Russ joining the session a little later.

11/5/12 - Blacks

Waves were in the chest high range with some decent size but mostly close outs with the swell direction in the 270 range.  Surfed with Paul and Russ and gradually paddled up to north peak to avoid the thickening crowded on main peak.  Cut out kind of early and headed back up the glider port to grab coffee and call it a day.

11/4/12 - Blacks

Walked down from Ho Chi Men again today but what a difference it was today.  Waves where basically flat and should have known with the very few amount of cars parked at the top.  Stayed out for maybe 30 minutes before getting out there and heading home.

11/3/12 - Blacks

Headed down this morning from the Ho Chi Men with B.  Waves were pretty fun in the waist high range and were an interesting because they looked good as far as shape but were also kind of soggy at the same time.  A lot of familiar faces in the line up today and stayed next to the trail for the most part.  The dolphins were putting on quite the show and were really frisky with a few of the jumping way out of the water.  One even seemed to be trying to do some tricks in the air.  Water was decently warm and called it a day around 9 for a trip to Peets for some coffee with Russ.
