Date/Time: Sunday, October 17th, 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Location: C Street
Weather: Sunny and warm with light to moderate westerlies.
Conditions: Poor except fair way on the inside. Mushy and choppy.
Swell: Small southern hemi swell, 2 ft at 17 s from 190 deg.
Surf: Very small, knee to waist high.
Comments: Maintenance surf. Hoped for Santa Ana offshores didn't arrive while I was there. Paddled out anyway at the base of the point through a thick muck of kelp and got some slow rollers. Thick crowd for the conditions. Waves too slow to really noseride so I played with cutbacks and my footwork.
