Overhead Waves on the First Fall Swell (Capitola 091213)

We’ve been waiting for this predicted first fall swell in SC for two weeks, checking Surfline to see if it’s still holding. The thing with Pacifica is that…

Chill Capitola (Capitola 090813)

Slept surprisingly pretty well in spite of a broken air conditioner at the “Quality” Inn, only place with a room left on short notice. Got to the beach…

Rising Tide and a Good One (Capitola 090313)

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…

The annual Jay Race Paddleboard event was happening at Capitola beach in the morning so we slept in and enjoyed the blackout shades at the Fairfied, then ate…

Escape from SF (Capitola 062113)

Breaks near SF have been blown out all month. Made it down to Capitola for our anniversary weekend after 19 days out of the water. I hadn’t expected…

Sunday Stoke (Capitola 060213)

Few things compare to surfing Capitola. You can almost always count on waves. Even when it looks tiny and a bit crowded, things often change once you’re in…

Summery (Capitola 053113)

Warm and sunny in Capitola. Summer’s here. As we rounded the corner on Wharf Drive and I caught my first glimpse of the ocean in the distance, it…

Back to Capitola with the New Fish (Capitola 042713)

SSW Building (Capitola 032213)
