I expect a full video report of the carnage.

What's funny is the real massacre is happening next Tuesday with it 15' @ 20 (or have I said too much)? I'm quite content with the weekend being between swells; I want nothing to do with that madness next week.

 

[bluengreen]

15' @ 20? Them's Mavs numbers. I'm not too worried about getting waves tomorrow morning. Saturday will be the real sh!t show.

there's plenty of surf coming after with another swell. let the madness happen tomorrow and be ready for the rest of the week

Today at Waimea

[Chee-to]

this thing hit 9.4@21 on the CA buoy today. Surflie is claiming SD will be 5-8 and good Friday when it peaks. My guess is to get ready for a bunch of wide-eyed kooks bouncing around on 6'1"s and shitting themselves on the sets, especially at certain deepwater magnets.

I’m really bumming I’m gonna miss the wavestorm reckoning.

Harvest buoy is 7.8 @ 22

Papa buoy is 17.9 @ 15.4

Not showing here yet, but deep water spots going to be

Be careful out there guys. First big swell of the winter and it's going to pack a punch.

 

[CutnSnip]

we'll be lucky to get 4-6 down here.

I got glassy shoulder high waves yesterday. Maybe a couple of head high sets.

Today looks about the same.

Gas up the jetskis and wax the rhino chasers.

EDIT: Just saw a slightly overhead set. It's a little bigger. Maybe it builds.

Great White Swamis!

I just went to the OB overview cam. Nobody out the back. Looked to be what I assume is "inside bar" and the paddle out still looked teh sux. Saw some guy getting a little beatswept but looked like he might hit a seam/rip during a lull. A couple others checking it, a couple headed to the water's edge.

The first wave I saw looked almost exactly like a good A-frame at P-Squaw. Twin blowouts on offer. The rest have been a bit walled.

Questions for OB faka; other faka surfing grunty/canyon beachbreak input welcome as well.

1. The swell angle, if any, looked to be slight WNW, or to produce what I would expect would be a drift down-littoral towards Southerstan. But the surfer looked to be getting pushed upcoast towards the Gate. Is that the bar he was on/trough influencing current around that bar is pushing towards a rip slightly upcoast of him, or is that incoming tide effect water streaming into the Gate/Bay I'm seeing?

2. Rate this morning's paddle out. It didn't look like a straight up Metallica video, but it was pretty obvious duck diving anything in that soup would suck, as would trying to fling foam into the next wave. It looked beautiful when that first teepee folded, peeled, and blew out, but watching the paddle out and wave timing/interval, it looked like "that's why there's nobody out".

3. The guy I saw paddling, he got no green water to paddle. Fckng none. Between the actual time submerged, and when the roiling boil subsided enough to start paddling again, he was barely making any ground into the consistent surf. Looked more like he was just waiting to get beatswept to a rip zone and hope to catch a break. Is it just endlessly flinging foam, or do you at times get solid water to row?

4. Is there a tradeoff between board that gets underneath the steamroller a bit and won't dislocate your shoulder(s) trying to hold it, and the larger board that surfaces and stables off better, covers more ground in the clear, but is a beach and a half when ducking? Or is choosing something chippy a rarity?

I'm sure doof or woke af will have an actual report, but here's a soothing video in the meantime

Foggy at Mavericks. Conditions in OB, SF look nearly flawless. Clean lines, light offshore. Imagine when those horizon line sets start rolling in. Gonna get the heart pumping.
