Santa Barbara Area Surf Reports

Comments:

Took ye old longboard out at Rincon, a no look, no leash jaunt down the path, heading out no matter what. The cove looked flat, so I figured I'd just paddled over past indicator and back for fun. However once out near Glass House, a "set" came in that kept me their for the session. Waves were breaking way to left, and not your typical Rincon peel that is fun at any size. It is the first time I've seen the cover break like a beachbreak. Morning sickness was prevalent and the waves headed straight into the cove and folded over like some shifty afternoon windswell at the Mesa or something.

The rides were shorter than a typical Rincon ride, but some of the sets had enough size to make for a fun drop, bottom turn and then a cutback. Right towards the end of the session two girls came out in trunks. That must have been cold considering the cloud cover and touch of wind.

Aftewards it was the French Bulldog for coffee, where I once again got 5 pennies as change. I think this is their gig. Then Bear and I headed to A Frame Surf for their giant sale. Picked up a used 6'3" of special significance and a few raffle tickets.
