Santa Barbara Area Surf Reports

Comments:

Surfed at nearly the same time as yesterday, about an hour later but during the indentical tide. Still a little too high and the waves were even smaller today. None of those rogue waves that came in yesterday showed up today. Waves were pretty consistent but most lacked much push, so there was a lot of hoping and weaving to get some speed going. One hour later in the day saw much more wind on water, not as glassy and nothing really pitching out.

K-dog was surfing around the corner at Deveraux. She had it all to herself and although it looked small she actually had some pretty fun longboarding waves. The tar over on that side of the point was apparently out of control. Tar was pretty sublime at Sands, perhaps enough wave action to get rid of it.

I discovered why I have about 10 little slices on my left foot. My shortboard has started to delam on one side of the stringer. All that foam is pushed in and so it creates this little edge where my front foot goes. It's been slowly slicing me up for the last few sessions. I hadn't noticed until I was walking home with bloody toes. Some H2O2 and bandaids on the foot and ducktape on the board solves that one. It is time for a new shortboard, hopefully we'll be getting a Christmas Bonus this year again.
