DMJ has been shitty every time I surfed there this year.
But did get a nice lined up left at the end with dropping tide (finally) that connected all the way to inside, got 3 or 4 good turns in while working it all the way to the sand. Well, I bogged 10 feet away and oafed it but I walked out of it damnit. 
Gonn fish tomorrow
sea lions. theres been a couple teenagers down that way this past week making a rukus.The sandbar tide window was good but fleeting. Wave in front had a few people out but looked like crap. Looked in a different direction, seeing peeling hollow left lines, and no one on it. Obvious. Two others joined me but plenty of waves to go around. But it was erratic and inconsistent so you had to really be in the right spot, which was ever-changing. But there were some damn fun waves rolling through for that hour or so.
I don't have the patience for south swells. I'd rather take sets on the head and dodge bombs than wait around through lulls, end up taking some windswell wave that's more promising than most and then be just barely out of position for the actual south set that comes in. Zero discipline.
I ended up getting an OK wavecount but it took near 3 hours to do it. Incoming tide really put a da mper on it for a while, got very inconsistent but I got some really fun lefts, blew a couple good ones stupidly, slithered in and out of a tight little barrel off the takeoff on one, tossed a bit of water around here and there, overall well actually it was a frustrating day.
Just sitting there at one point, see a left peak forming that looked semi-promising when two seals from nowhere overtook that wave from behind, skimmed right down the face beeline towards me, down under me, 90 degree turn and back out to sea.
Well then.
If they were trying to ditch a shark, that wasn't very nice.
And for the record, seals skimming onto a wave are nowhere near as graceful as dolphins and they go a LOT faster. I'd never seen that before and I did not particularly enjoy that. Especially since it blew any chance I had at that wave.
