Small lefts and a big crack (Pacifica 092915)

The SSW didn’t materialize and today was tiny compared to yesterday. Debated going out but how can you not? Turned out to be fun catching nonstop tiny lefts…

Speedy and slight offshore (Pacifica 092815)

Spent the weekend going to open houses (and saw a place that was Max’s white interior fantasy). Forecast for this Monday morning called for offshore winds before increasing…

Fun Friday (Pacifica 092515)

Lots of morning all-hands meetings at work and yesterday was David W.’s last day. marks the end of another chapter for sure. Without him, JV wouldn’t have been…

Still summery (Pacifica 092115)

Back in the water enjoying the last day of the heat wave from this weekend. Had a lovely visit from El and spent the day together eating (Rocco’s,…

Small, offshore, and whales! (Pacifica 091615)

Ocean looked small and smooth today with some offshore winds and blue, blue water. Near the horizon, so many whales! Counted at least four whales breaching nonstop, flocks…

Speedy (Pacifica 091515)

Woo, got four fun waves in less than twenty minutes on an average looking day – smallish with 8mph of West wind. Empty at the beach but our…

Offshore high tide rides (Pacifica 091415)

Slept too long and didn’t get down until later. Chatted with Rick as we ate breakfast in the Jeep. He’d ordered Max’s blank+stringer (solid old Redwood) and told…

Foggy, lumpy, and kinda awesome (Pacifica 091215)

Foggy for the first time in a long time and cooler by probably ten degrees this morning with onshore winds and it sure felt like winter! We kinda…

Friday Yay (Pacifica 091115)

Back at the beach finally! Our Jeep wouldn’t start on Tuesday morning and I almost cried knowing I’d have to forego the good conditions and heatwave at LM…

Labor Day lefts (Pacifica 090715)

Got down to the beach “early,” just in time to wait and get a beachfront spot in the south lot. Pretty crowded in the water as expected. Mostly…

Sunday with some swell (Pacifica 090615)

Crowded as expected with sunny skies and light wind. Found parking in the south lot and took our time getting ready. Max was back on his Bruce after…

Fun ones on a Saturday (Pacifica 090515)

Excited to get up since the forecast was for low winds this morning. Got down to the beach by 8:45am and there were some crowds but not nearly…

Exhilarating (Pacifica 090415)

Knew it was going to be high winds again today, and slightly bigger 6′ primary so when we got to the beach and it was white-capping in the…

A Windy One (Pacifica 090315)

Windy with 17pmh WNW gusts. Looked pretty choppy and blown out, but we wanted to get out anyway. Max headed out with a boogie board and fins, while…

69 yard left on a Saturday (Pacifica 082915)

Wow, so stoked. Surfed 6 days since last Friday and have caught sooo many waves even on less-than-ideal days. The LM of the past seems to have been…

Angled lefts (Pacifica 082815)

Looked smallish and textured with closeouts in the middle so we opted for north of the pumphouse. From land, it didn’t seem like much was happening, but once…
