The Surf this a.m. seems pretty small still but Wetsand is giving me high hopes about Hurricane Fausto. Fausto is supposed to show up on Sunday and right now is blowing at 95knts and heading 285° @ 14knts.

100ft. Wednesday was pretty cool last night. the first two shows sold out so I had to go to the newly added 10:30 showing. Won a free video though. Those guys put together a pretty cool movie about the biggest day of surf we had last winter. Here's the surf-log i wrote for that day:

"went out around at 3:30 again in Goleta with mario, jason, and tony. pretty fun session. i started out at the point by myself and got some some rumblers but soon grew weary of the crowds and the inconsistency so i went down in the cove and found those guys. we had fun waves till we couldn't see nothing. the swell model now is saying 18.2 feet at 17 seconds. the scale is triple, have not seen that since last winter. this is officially the first big swell of the winter. going to ventura in am with unkle. judging by some bay area bouys and the Harvest bouy, it seems the big pulse just passed pt. conception so the swell should be wanning tommorrow."
