Older Cortes footage. What's going on with this fall at around 00:45?? When is the last time you saw someone fall back, slide as their feet/legs go straight up in the air like that? It doesn't look like a too fast/skipping down the face thing. I can't figure it out.

My local average beach break showing 5'-7' this morning, and doing it's best Ocean Beach San Francisco impression. Light offshores the last couple mornings, and fast moving set waves standing up in a hurry outside. Looked pretty damn good mind surfing it, but I know how that goes when you get out there.

All the sand has been stripped from the shoreline and it's a full on slope of cobble rocks rumbling with every backwash into the shorepound.

No, I didn't paddle out, but it was a nice surf check on the way to work. :geek:

I was out there. I think he was sliding on his board. That said-I saw Navarro wipe out that day and the wave was so fast he skipped down the face like a stone. It’s an incredibly fast moving wave.

The Swell of '23 is now over. It has been the longest run of uninterrupted overhead surf in recent memory. Wednesday I still found really fun overhead waves, but today was the first time since just after Christmas that the surf felt weak....and it was still shoulder high.

I’m surfed out. What a run!

Number of spots breaking differently, or not at all, now. Pretty crazy changes for some of the spots I used to have dialed for the tides.
