Comments:
Warm, sunny weather and small, playfull waves at Sands. This could be what the next 5 months look like around here: being satisfied by knee high windswell at the local beachbreaks. With the small waves came warm water. The Stearns Wharf gauge was reading 59° a few days ago although now it says 54°, which I don't believe. A couple dozen surfers spread from Stu's down to Sandbar, with some consistent knee high rollers and every now and then a thigh high set would thrill the crowd. A lot of folks on the beach, running the trials, and playing guitar, finally getting outside after weeks and weeks of junky weather. Water was pretty clean, not too much tar and clear enough to see fish swim through the peaks of the waves and they lulled by. Some offshore operation going on between Sands and
Platform Holly, a funny looking boat doing something of some sort, could of been working on the seep tents or some UCSB research.
