First time out here for a regular session in
nearly a year.
For those who haven't been reading the reports for that long,
North County is the name I give to all the spots between
Point Conception and the SLO/SB county line, as a matter of
discretion. While all the spots there don't necessarily deserve
such discretion, obscuring all of them serves to eliminate hints
as to when I'm surfing one of the lesser-known spots as opposed
to one of the well-known spots. I do the same for the Ranch
and the Gaviota Coast. If you have a "secret spot" east
of Elwood, sorry, it's fair game here!
On to the surf. Waves would rumble up, looking like they would
pitch, and then fade. I made several drops that I initially
thought would get me barrelled deep if I made them at all, but they
turned into easy slides across a rather crumbly face. After dawn
the crowd went from 5 including Toby and I to around 15. It took
about 30 minutes to get over the shock of that, after which I got
some great, fast rights, some with a thick, pinching bowl at the
end that I mainly tried to avoid. When I did pull into it, I got
pinched. Overall a very fun session.
