Last Sesh of 2012 (Capitola 123112)

WNW Swell

Nice size 6-9′ WNW swell at Capitola.

Good-sized NW-WNW (Capitola 121912)

After the King Tide (Capitola 121412)

The king tide meant high was over 6.4′ so we waited for it to drop to 2′ this afternoon. Watched some heats for the final day of Pipe…

Capitola Palms

Sunday Rights (Capitola 112512)

Wave Machine (Capitola 112412)

Today was so good! Thought we might be too close to low tide but it turned out to be perfect. Started out smallish but then really turned on…

Fast and Fabulous (Capitola 112312)

Plan for the day was to surf and then go see Chasing Mavericks. Arrived near low tide and it looked good. Smaller than yesterday but still steady sets….
