It's on again today. Smaller and cleaner. Going to be a circus out there for sure.
Yeah, looking epic again. That late morning/early afternoon window is going to be bonkers. I'm tied up with work all day. Hope you guys score.
It's definitely bigger than yesterday (or swell direction has shifted) but not as clean. Beaches are swamped and deep water reefs are looking a bit wonky. If wind cleans up it could be a another epic day. Otherwise, may be time to drive south a bit.
Mavs looks smaller on the cam.

OB rocking this morning. 2 shot sequence taken at 9.47am. One dude out. Maybe it's our erBB loc.

OB surf report for today: Smaller, cleaner, and better IMO. Some of the sets were basically just as tall as yesterday, but they were less common and moving much slower. Some of the waves were really wide or really peaky, probably due to all the west in the swell (true 270 degrees). But overall I'd call it a solid, clean big OB day.
Super surprised, but there was almost nobody out all day. Where the hell did everyone go? Surfed with just a handful of guys... kind of like it was 10 years ago. Got a nice barrel on my last wave. Walked up the sand and some guy came up to me to commend me on the showing. Always a nice feeling. Could be one last round tomorrow AM but not holding my breath.

Looking massive and perfect right now. Having serious FOMO. This is probably to best we'll have all season.
I guess I'll save it for the surf journal thread but surfed 4.5 hours today, mostly around lawton. Caught a bunch of fun drops/corners. Then had just paddled down to pacheco and got a sick long walled one then broke my leash trying to line up another.
Yeah I agree, where was everyone? it got a bit cramped in the middle of the beach because there was a small area where the lateral current wasn't ripping, but, damn. Probably the combination of a few weeks of marginal surf, then lots of people got the flu or mild covid from the holidays and then weren't feeling up for the cardio? I know I was feeling a bit nervous before yesterday. I pretty much struck out yesterday -- paddled around for two hours, caught one wave then got caught inside and lit up and went in.

Was also quite empty around here. There was a morning funk that seemed to never go away and with cloud cover, totally different vibe than yesterday and waves were bigger. Swell direction definitely shifted overnight I think.
My theory is everyone got their fill of beatdowns yesterday, and since we've been flat, everyone out of shape for the big stuff + omicron seems to be spreading pretty fast. Quite a few friends are feeling like crap right now with flu-like symptoms. And middle of weak so maybe people had family / work things to do. I was really surprised one of my favorite reefs only had 3 guys on it.

This you on the Hess? Kinda looks like a wood deck
Did some scrolling to see what people had up. This one stood out. Not a perspective you get very often here.

Nah, I'm a regular. The EPS/wood deck boards have black carbon rails. Looks like Danny on his 9'4.
Lmao what the hell are "surge waves" Are those the things that create "undertows"?
It's very annoying to me that the fire department is acting like it's the result of the tsunami and not the ordinary situation of either weird accident and/or kook getting in over their head.
