| Comments: | It looked super small and not worth going out but I did anyway. Small from some windswell yet surprisingly fun anyway. Sat on a peak with fun yet short rights and fast and short lefts. The most fun wave was a right that went a good 3 times longer then any other wave I had. It was a bit under waist high but managed to have enough power to propel me thru different sections. The shape of the lefts was better, a little bit of pitching out going on but not much in the way of coverage. A couple of yahoo jet skiiers out there jumping waves. They were actually pretty considerate of the surfers out there, but the smell of 2 strokes was pretty bad. Obviously no wildlife sitings when theres one of those beast running around. The tide was pretty low and made the west peak break a bit better than the middle one. The middle was all stirred up and choppy as if from wind or rip current or something. The west peak was clean but breaking really shallow. It's great to be able to surf until 6:00 now. Almost can make a post 5:00 session happen here in a few weeks. We really need waves though. | ||
