| Comments: |
Late getting in the water today, but heard it was similarly
weak and windswelly in the morning. Periods shorter than yesterday,
but conditions worsening. As the wind picked up it started to
feel less like a surf session and more like some sort of test
of wills, or patience.
Most waves suffered the SE warble poorly, with thick lumpy waves
rolling sideways across the curl line and making it hard to drive
for sections. Best waves went just into the rivermouth before
closing out. Cleaner in there, but I kept paddling all the way back
up for some bizarre reason. I must like taking tests.
