Paddled out at the Bates beachbreak due to a lack of booties and a lack of desire to mangle my feet on the rocks. The beachbreak was closing out, no good summer sand profiles yet. Best waves were rearing up on the low-tide rivermouth sands and crumbling to the cove. A lot of false starts as waves piled up atop each other, jacking the peak and then bottoming it out just as fast.
After a few smaller sets, got one good one with a steep drop and a couple of nice bowls through to the inside of the cove. Conditions in the cove were much worse, with a lot of reflection off the rocks. A good opportunity to take a wave in presented itself, and I took it.
