The morning crowd hung tough for an hour or so, then faded with few coming out to fill the slots. Dropping tide sucked away at the swell as well, losing consistency and shape. Mostly just fun drops with the occasional wall leading into another section to hit.
Suffered a bout of Sandman-like aggression as a pack of neophytes came out, hooting obnoxiously at every lip as it smashed them back into the beach and generally getting in the way. Am I getting old and crochety already? Tried to get stoked for them when they actually got waves, but was more stoked once they were gone. I wonder what's wrong with me.
On the drive back up I realized why I was so P.O.'ed... MtV is at it again, this time planting themselves on the bluffs just between Heavens and Staircase. Giant plastic "moon men" and fake cacti are already visible from the highway... they appear to be constructing a new "Beach House" for the summer.
Campus Point was on fire today. Literally.
