September Overview | 1996 Overview


Date/Time:
Thursday, September 26th, 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Location:
C Street
Weather:
Cool morning, overcast with mottled and puffy cloud undersides.
Conditions:
Fair, morning sick and high tide rebound off the riprap revetment.
Swell:
Surprisingly good combo walls out of the south and northwest. Waist high with shoulder to head high sets.
Comments:
Took the longboard out today, hoping to get some small but fun 'con. Didn't look good from the highway, only 1 guy out. C Street was more crowded but there were a lot of separate peaks. Settled up to the left of the crowd and picked off the set waves, even got one of the biggest waves of the day. Many rides all the way to the sand in front of the stairs. Much better than expected!

See the report from one year ago today for a nostalgic trip.
