September Overview | 1995 Overview


Date/Time:
Thursday, Sept. 28th, 5:00 pm
Location:
Bates Beach/Indicator, Rincon, CA
Weather:
Thick wooly low clouds with sunny skies over the oil rigs offshore.
Conditions:
Clean and shiny. A little windswell mixing it up slightly.
Swell:
WNW gone. Only southern swells showing on the indicator and beach. Sets at waist high, bigger peaks on the indicator, but not much.
Comments:
Hope you got some yesterday. A few people out on the indicator, and young members of the Channel Islands surf team directly out from the stairs, surfing some sort of competition/training exercise. Get a wave, rip the living hell out of it, then surf/belly/swim in and run up the beach, around the flag, and out again for another wave.

Kinda fun to watch. These kids are good.
