My day went like this…

”Um, excuse me. You don’t want to stand there.”

”Um, excuse me. You’re kid is going to drown if you let him wander around on the beach.”

“Um, excuse me. This isn’t a good time for a beach walk.”

5 minutes later two soaking wet tourists come back up the stairs.

”Should have listened to me.”

Then I finally go surf. Get denied three times trying to paddle out. Get out the back on the fourth attempt. Two other guys out, one I know. They both tell me they haven’t caught a single wave. spend an hour cat and mousing the lineup. Taking sets on the head. Missing waves. Turn and go on bomb and get absolutely obliterated.

Got back out. Thought I was far enough out. So did the other two guys. We weren’t. Big set. we all bail boards. First wave put us right in the spot for the second, meaner wave to do its work. I pop up. Next to me my buddy’s board is tomb stoning and buckled. the other guy is now swimming boardless and in some distress. buddy goes in and I escort the other guy in.

Sketchy as fuck.

I‘m exhausted.

I was right about Rincon.
Set waves swinging way wide, lots of closeouts and too much water moving
Outside reef feathering.
Some gems were being had for sure, but most that made it out were paying dearly.
Looked frustrating. Such good conditions.
Hard to tell from the photos, but it's big.
Checked out Jelly Bowl too. Big.
No one from the platforms getting in today.

Thought about going there or Ventura this morning but that Sea Wall can be a real bitch coming in. I'm to old to for that sh!t - heard Malibu was really good too.

If you hadn't put all that energy into Karening the retards on the beach, maybe you'd have more for surfing I'm just saying haha.

Wife and I watched an SUP attempt to make it out from the top of the cove.
I looked at her and said I'll give that guy 3 minutes and he'll be down the highway a 1/2 mile.
Only took 2. :drowning:
