Driving up the coast from LA in the afternoon showed the SW swell lighting up the entire coast all the way to Rincon. Rincon even looked rideable. After getting home I wasn't about to battle traffic, albeit very reduced from the fire, so K-dog and I headed to the Mesa. She ran, I surfed and everyone was happy. About a dozen guys out there, mostly kids and mostly shortboards. I was glad I had my shortboard, as it was good for shortboarding but not much power so there were many time when you had to pump to get some speed. Caught a half dozen or so really fun ones all the way to inside that allowed for some lip smacking and rail grabbing barrell attempts. The rest of the waves were short closeouts or squandered on my sucky attempts to get some speed.
