Comments:
I wasn't going to let yesterdays southern session deter me from meeting Steve and Unkle along the PCH for the saturday dawn patrol. But my alarm was. I was still in bed at 6:30 when I got a call from Unkle. My alarm hadn't gone off and I was late in meeting them. Yelling obscenities as I grabbed my board, I plugged the radar detector in and headed south. 20 minutes later I was suited and running towards the "lineup". It was probably as small as yesterday, but those guys were out up the beach anyway, so I headed up there.
Water was still pretty cold in Ventura for a dawn patrol in a spring suit. Not too cold, but cold. The shape was better this morning but the waves closed out on us a lot. Once you paddled in and got up, you'd have a fun little section with plenty of juice until the whole wave would dump in one foot of water. We contined this for about an hour or so until the hunger got to us.
Getting out of our suits I was talking to a guy who said he saw a 3' wide Manta Ray in the lineup the other day. Cool.
