Month: August 2013

Saturday with More Swell (Pacifica 083113)

More size and even more fog than yesterday on a rising tide. Some bigger ones at the north end. More waves but more closeouts and crowds in the…

Mixed Swell (Pacifica 083013)

It’s been flat this past week and we’ve been sleepy, but after five days out, this was the morning to get back to the beach. The Bay Bridge…

Tiny (Pacifica 082513)

Lake-like with a lower tide but still some waves rolling through. Ran into Greg and Karen and Rick E. Unusually warm and without any wind. Watched Greg catch…

Short Rides and Dolphins (Pacifica 082213)

One of those days that it was mostly breaking too close to shore. Not many corners at all but more of a paddle, drop and turn and hop…

Then and Now (Pacifica 081713)

We switched our usual Saturday surf in Capitola to LM since SC has been flat the whole week. On the upside, so we got to sleep in until…

WNW Lefts and Rights (Pacifica 081613)

The lot was already full when we arrived later than usual. First day of paid parking at LM too. Felt like so many people were there compared to…

Small and Foggy (Pacifica 081513)

Completely foggy as we drove down and could barely see as we got on Highway 1. A light rain was misting but the weather was pretty warm for…

Lindy Lefts (Pacifica 081313)

Wasn’t feeling very motivated this morning and at first glance, the waves looked meh and I was getting the Lindy blues. Closeouts and waves too close to shore….

Saturday Rides (Capitola 081013)

Arrived in Capitola around 9:30. Lot was getting full but we found parking right away. Our old spot #169, no less. Heavy marine layer in the skies, unusually…

Teeny Ones (Pacifica 080613)

Teeny tiny low tide waves. Only four surfers out. Waves breaking onto shore. Laughed every time we caught one onto the beach. Had to rush to get back…

Dawn Patrol Fun Waves (Capitola 080313)

Reached a new milestone in our surf life! Got up in the dark at 4:30am and made it to Capitola for dawn patrol. Plenty of free parking, no…

One Good Right + One Good Workout (Pacifica 080213)

Windy when we arrived this morning with more swell and some sizable chop. Both lots were pretty full compared to yesterday’s 7am non-crowd. Wind died down a bit…

Windswell Waves and a Long Left (Pacifica 080113)

Otherworldly early morning light glowed in the sky, illuminating the silhouettes of the houses on the hills as we drove down to Pacifica this morning at 6:30am, earlier…
