Sequit
- Date/Time:
- Sunday, Sept. 24th, 12:00 noon - 4:00 pm
- Location:
- Sequit, CA
- Weather:
- Sunny with hazy marine layer over the air show to the north.
- Conditions:
- Decent with some ripples rebounding from the rock.
- Swell:
- Fun combination swell. Waist to head high sets, some overhead.
- Comments:
- It's been flat so long that the local surfcasters are calling head high sets to 'as high as double overhead.' Hype!
Spent a lot of time driving and checking, unhappy with the conditions at the Fairgrounds and the Strand, although the latter was pulling in some nicer peaks and better drops. Sequit was a zoo, with some stoked kids getting surf lessons from the Malibu Boardriders Club, pairs on tandems out on the shoulder. Lots of hooting and cheering from the shore at every ride. The pack on the rock was hungry, and while the waves there had more juice on the takeoff, they weren't making it very far before falling behind a mushy section.
Had more fun and luck taking off behind the outer rock and outside reef. Large sets would occasionally break out there that looked to be well overhead, then reform inside for a nice down-the-line racetrack wall. Every wave ending in a closeout coverup or kickout wishing "if only I had cranked that turn a little harder I could have made that section..."
