Sunday, May 11th, 12:00 noon - 2:00 pm
Location:
Rincon Point
Weather:
Overcast and hazy clearing to warm sunny skies. Water has warmed up considerably into the high 50's / low 60's; it's springsuit season!
Conditions:
Good to fair. Small windswell ripples.
Swell:
Tiny ghosting fragments of S swell, ankle high or so.
Comments:
Took the longboard out for my first session in weeks; ordinarily wouldn't even have paddled out in conditions like this but really needed to get wet. It was pretty junky the rest of the way down the coast towards C Street, although Mondo's was looking pretty clean and fun.

A few stretch-for-five-able waves rippling through waist-high water well inside the cove lineup. Warbly and small. A lot of families out enjoying the first hints of summer.
