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.

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.

11/11/12 - 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.

9/19/12 - Blacks

Paddled out around 5pm today for a little afternoon sessions and headed down from the GP.  Waves were around chest high for the sets but a little peaky and disorganized.  Tide was going low at around 6:45pm so that was making it a little wishy washy as well.  Surfed mainly the north side to avoid the hoards of people out.  Buoy was showing 3.0-3.8ft with a mostly south swell at 15secs from 191-202degrees.  Combined sea height at 3.8ft.  Stayed out until sun down to try to get a few uncrowded ones down on the main peak and then walked up in the dark.

9/17/12 - Blacks

Headed down this morning at the usual time before work and walked down the Farms Rd way for a change.  Waves we pretty small with most of them in the knee to occasional waist high sets.  Conditions were nice with no wind and warm and clear water.  Once Paul showed up it look like it was going to start getting better for about thirty minutes with the tidal push but one that came up it was over.  The rights were better with some fast make able corners around mini barreling shape.  TP buoy showing 1.7-2.2ft, 182 degrees, 9.3secs , and 3.4ft combined.  Looks like most of the steep angle south is just going right by San Diego.  High tide a 6ft at 10am with a swing of 5.5 ft.

8/31/12 - Blacks

Headed down this morning for a what looks like a repeat of yesterday sessions with the waves in the knee to waist but a bit less consistent.  Tide was also on the rise which a large 5ft blue moon swing.  Winds were calm and water was glassy as an oil slick but unfortunately the crowd was out early this morning and was out with Russ and Paul.  Danny was providing a sick airshow for the day with tails flying high and making it look super easy....must be nice.  Stayed on north peak again for about 2 hours until it was time to head to Peets.  Buoy 100 showing 1.2-1.4ft, with a mix of direction from 202-278 degrees, 11 and 8 seconds respectively.  Combined sea height at 3ft.  Swell is on the rise so we will see what is in store for the weekend.

8/11/12 - Blacks

Paddled out this morning with Chris around 6:30.  Waves were waist to chest high but mostly closing out with a few corners coming in.  Slightly crowded with the weekend warriors.  Tide was high at 3ft with only a very slight dip to low.   TP buoy showing 2.8-3.5ft, 202 degrees, 16 seconds and 3.8ft sea height.

4/3/12 - Blacks

Pulled a solo dawn patrol today.  Checked it first a Scripps and then parked at Farms Rd for the hike down.  Swell was fading from yesterdays beasty beasts but still plenty of surf down there.  Waves where head high to well overhead on the sets but they were also pretty shifty so it was difficult to find the right spot.  Surfed right in front of the trail today since it seemed to be breaking really south today.  TP buoy showing 5.2-6.5 ft, 253 degrees @ 13.9 secs.  Tide peaked high at almost 5ft this morning at 8am so it was a little swamped out but there was still plenty of energy in the water to make up for it.  The new board was a little small for today since I couldn't catch the larger set waves with all the water moving around.  Dolphins in water today.

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.
