A trip I had planned to Oceanside this weekend happened to coincide with the swell from Fausto showing up on our shores. It was very, very fun but It only makes me jealous we don't get those waves up here. Closer to home, waves were still to be had down towards Ventura, and although not as fast nor big, it was still a fun session.
While I was down, I checked out Surf Culture, which is the current exhibit at the Laguna Art Museum. Worth checking out if you are down there. A lot of stuff came from the Santa Barbara Surf Museum, which to speak the truth, i've never been to nor where it is. Anybody?
Tropical Depression Nine-E has been brewing down off of Mexico for less than 24 hours or so. No guarantee it will turn into anything that will throw swell our way, but exciting nonetheless. If I'm not mistaken Fausto is the 4th Hurricane that's given us some action this summer. Alma, Douglas, Elida, and Fausto. Cristina ended up not giving us much so I wouldn't include it, and the "B" one was called Boris but I don't even remember hearing about it. (Sneak Peak: if 9-E gets upgraded it will be called "Genevieve." Perhaps I'll get a summertime wrap-up written at the end of September.
I've also set a goal for myself: Get the surf reports section going again by the time we get our first decent NW swell this fall/winter. Excited?
