Lowers/Middles was ok.Trestles looks real fun on SL cam right now. Probably among the least toxic too.
Pretty sure they, or whoever the parent company is, owns Magicseaweed and Swellnet.Who did they buy out? I never knew they had competition.
There's a lot of cringy stuff about Surfline, but there old LOLA was the sh!t. You could zoom in and individual spots and get accurate swell height. Over a decade ago I used it to track one of the biggest swells to ever hit Mexico. It was like 155-165 or some crazy SE direction...going parrallel and out see to the SoCal Coast. I saw on LOLA one particular place was showing 20 ft. reading while everywhere else was waist high. I decided to make the drive and have a buddy float us on with a dependent I.D.. Heaviest day I've ever seen in SoCal. Below see level mutant bombs. Thank you LOLA. I think that's the reason they retired it. Too accurate.
Everyone is/was at sand bar/Ledbetter/El cap.Great, uncrowded surf late this AM.
One of the county's most popular spots - thumping rights off the pier, 3 ft overhead zone
4 guys in the water
I mean really, where the hell was everybody?![]()
Santa Barbara?
Then a drive up the coast - pretty much everything looked unmanageable, aside from Swarmi's
How was El Cap?Everyone is/was at sand bar/Ledbetter/El cap.
Sandbar was as big as I’ve ever seen. Set waves were too big right before dark yesterday.
Everyone.
I didn’t go up there. Friend did and said it was lumpy and too big and too high tide and “at least” 150 people out.I was hoping for "crowded."
I checked it yesterday afternoon and it was breaking in places I've never seen it break before. There were a few guys out but mostly dodging bombs. Not the usual lineup. Even a left??? in the cove every now and then. I imagine it's good and every guy from SLO to Goleta is on it.How was El Cap?
