There's not much better in the area than weekdays at DMJ.
If there's swell hit DMJ and then both of you shoot up to Mugu and lets get barreled. If I remember right you have access...if not I have room for 4 passengers in my truck.

The beauty of fall is you tend to get ENE winds in the morning.
Sometimes April can be awesome in N county.
There was one April where is was pumping for 6 weeks. Combo swells and wind swells
And glassy in the evenings.
I was surfing 3 times a day.
Finally I had to rest.

hmm, that's interesting. Like Airbnb for cars? I'll check it out, never heard of it before.
Regardless I already made a reservation on Hertz. Managed to upgrade to their Gold status for having The Platinum card from amex, so decent discount which includes an upgrade. Can cancel anytime too, but good to have something already lined up.
One thing that popped up that's worrying the sh!t out of me though. I booked with Avianca as their prices were so much cheaper than the other companies... when I told my sister she was shocked... she travelled a couple times with them the past 2 years and it was a total sh!t show. Flights cancelled, premium seats that simply didn't exist when she got there (not even the pre-selected seats, premium or not), everything that could go wrong would go wrong. She had trouble both flying to Orlando and also traveling back from the Caribbean. Going to Orlando, the outbound flight was cancelled and she had to come back the next day, missing the first day of hotel reservations + the inconvenience... on the flight back her pre-selected plus seats simply didn't exist, they almost made the family stay on separate seats.
I paid for comfort plus and can cancel at no charge, but damn, tickets from other airlines are going for almost double the price... I'm still looking and seriously considering cancelling as soon as I find another option that's at least not that more expensive... but that airline is such a sh!t show that I'm afraid even cancelling can be quite a task... that was a bucket of cold water but what can you do. I'm getting ready to just deal with whatever sh!t show they throw my way, but it would be great if I managed to find decent tickets from another airline. (I would be seriously pissed if I got there and they told me my pre-selected seats aren't available like they did to my sister)
I need someone that wants to surf Mugu this season. Split a room one or even 2 nights. Its hard to coordinate schedules and I have a 3 day weekend twice a month. Sometimes off Fri. Sometimes Mon. If I surf there Friday morning I leave Chula at 330 to get through LA.
Both like that super low tide and straight south swell. Mugu even SSE. 155 -180 degrees and Mugu is prime time.
Mugu needs less swell for fun waves and is open to even steeper SSE swells. Offshore canyon plus plus wedge = more fun.
DMJ needs some south, but likes some combo to make it peakier.
Pretty much anyone with US Identification, registration, insurance is able to get onto Pendleton to surf DMJ's if you go through the main gate. I've never been turned away when I said "I'm going to meet some friends at Del Mar Beach". Mugu is significantly more difficult to access. You already know if you can get on or not.
brah Avianca sucks! I took them down to el salvadore last year. just like you said - cancellations, re-multiple schedules even the day of my flights, hidden baggage costs even though we pre paid for everything..and for an international 12+ hour flight i cant even imagine.
unfortuneatly i gotta fly them again soon coming back from el salvadore next month. found Delta flight down there but only Avianca coming back.
When was the last time you got on pendleton to surf without a CAC Card? I thought those days were over after 9/11.
I cancelled that ticket and requested a refund. I bought the L tariff, the description said you could get a refund until the week before the flight... but they're shady AF so I wouldn't be surprised if they claimed they only refund the purchase if cancelled 24 hours after emission.
Bought different tickets today with American Airlines, much better. Problem is I'm running the risk of having to pay for both sets of tickets and then be forced to make a second trip at the latest day I can reschedule (if the fuckers don't just reimburse me that is).
New dates are earlier... figured my kid could use the warm weather to get a better kick out of legoland and its water parks... Seaworld if we go there. even just enjoying the beach too. I get there now on Sept/13, leaving on the 26th.
You should take vm and the greaseball up on their offer. That’s some serious cali kine aloha.
yea man youre better off. cant put a price on comfort and piece of min d. its one thing hopping on one of their planes for a 5 hour flight. From Brazil to LAX - no effing way!
