Anyone been out lately? I feel like the situation is changing day to day. Are the rangers giving out tickets?

don't even think about. locked down and windy as fuk for the foreseeable or until you die... whichever happens second
As bad as the optics are of this, and it’s face value, most Sonoma beaches are pretty socially distant; especially this time of year.
Can't speak to the lockdown, but looking at the forecast here, better bring a kite.
Went for a paddle today. Quite a few people beaching at my local today. If there’s no issue with jogging, hiking, going for walks as is “allowed” by our Dear Leader Lord Newsome then what’s the big beef with going to the beach.
My work is “essential” so after work (where I interacted and was “exposed” to a hundred or so people of “the public”) I went to the beach and paddled for an hour where I never got within 20 feet of another person. Why is my work “ok” but the paddle not?
This whole thing is absurd.
Are you all aware that golf is on the “approved” list of recreational activities? It is.
Golf. You can golf.
Go surfing, by yourself, get a ticket.
Golf and get paired up with strangers, retrieve a ball out of a hole that dozens of others have shoved their hand into....that’s cool.
But don’t surf. That almost as bad as murder.

Some California courses still provide an escape amid stay-at-home orders
To maintain some sense of normalcy in the midst of a global pandemic, many golfers are still teeing it up. That’s been the case in Los Angeles over the past few days, even as the city has taken com…

Currently in SoCo, there’s 30 miles of cones and caution tape cordoning off every parking lot, bluff top and turnout on the ocean side of CA-1 with CHP and State Parks enforcing the GTFO.
I kid you not.
Why? Because of back to back weekends where every donkey within a hundred miles decided the Sonoma Coast would be a good place to chill from the shelter stress. Literally looked like the 4th of July. Supervisors freaked and brought the hammer down.
I think the lockdown is bs as much as anybody. But really... keep your recreating local. Exporting yourself is disrespectful and only serves to fuk someone else’s reality.

I wasn't trying to make a political statement. Just checking how the situation has changed since surfing Salmon Creek on Sunday. It seemed to be escalating.
Wind hasn't been bad for dawn patrol sessions.

The SoCo supes are capable of quick action when they want, huh? On the JRT, not so much. It had to become international news before they did anything. I can't believe 2/3 dingbats got re-elected when there were alternatives. WELP. Gynokratia. No wonder families keep leaving.
It's legit fear the walking dead mode. Large elderly retirement population at risk. Last weekend Bolinas setup a road block and starting scaring people away. The lady at point reyes sation gas stop said it was super crazy with people waiting in line being dicks. I think Dillon beach also gave the extreme stink eye treatment and scared everyone away. I'm not sure you'll get a ticket, but I would watch out for flying falafel burritos and depends undergarments. I think it's best to stay home. The surf isn't that great to risk someones health over it.
Or at the very least, wholly inconsistent. Multiple packs of surfers out at Torrey Pines today from Tower 1 to Tower 7. Lifeguard parked / driving the beach while people walked everywhere. Didn’t look like anyone was getting ticketed..??..
Someone posted in another thread about this subject that people should stay away because some lifeguards got COVID.
Why do we even need lifeguards?
Dillon Beach put up closure orders "issued" by one of the Dillon Beach HOAs and purportedly "authorized" by the Marin HHS. I tried but failed to find confirmation of any such order or authorization on the Marin HHS website.
marin county closed all county state and federal beaches a couple weekends ago. Contributing to the soco fuktardery as people just drove further north looking for an escape
Dillon beach was cleared by the Marin county sheriff the same weekend.The town isn’t an hoa, oceana is. Goebel currently owns the “resort”- store cabins beach parking. All that is shut down.
