A down month, flat spells punctuated by southern
hemmi swells and the fall season opening up
at month's end. Overall
weak for surfing, with little to no hurricane
activity unlike the banner hurricane season of
1997.
Those days I did surf were pretty good. Highlights
included 3rd-reef barrels and
a good Labor Day swell, as well
as watching the Malibu Boardriders Club take some
disabled kids into the water for
their yearly tandem surfing benefit.
The major lowlight was a knee injury
and ding that I should have avoided.
Out of six reports, got good surf three times. Surfed the longboard
twice. Average wave height was around shoulder high.
