Did you take your Swamis Fun GunI got shoulder high waves at Swamis Friday evening
surf mat, I haven't ridden a real board in almost a monthDid you take your Swamis Fun Gun
pretty fun down at creek the last couple days on the negative tide. i think the little windswell was really propping it up.
Al Soldano's gladness misappropriated.
1/3.
I forgot that even if it's just tradewind swell, Hawaii is still better than California a lot of the time.
Definitely had fun waves. Stocked. Possibly south getting in up here too next weekend? Would be nice... although man, I miss that 78 degree water already.
Just found this thread. I stopped surfing for the past year for family reasons. I started back up a month ago and I thought to myself that I remember the waves being better during the summer when I lived in San Diego 6 years ago. Looks like I wasn't off in my assessment.
Hopefully we get something soon. I've been trying to stay motivated but driving 30 minutes to grovel some knee high waves is getting harder.

In the South Bay it's about an hour drive either south or north to get out of the Catalina/Palos Verdes swell shadow. I have not seen good enough waves in wither direction to warrant the time and fuel expenditure.
I no longer call myself a surfer.
This is the point in the 22-24 year solar flair cycle when we get El Ninos. The problem is that solar cycles 24 and 25 have been so weak that Pacific Ocean circulation has been weak. La Nina is caused by robust Pacific circulation, and La Nina has been extremely muted. The muted North Pacific (PDO) circulation has failed to initiate the usual monsoon fronts across the southwestern U.S.
Expect El Nino to be muted as well.

This has been the worst year ever for surf excluding Jan in my 35 years surfing in socal
Good to very good here this morning. Heavy electrical storm in the early AM, lights out, stuff blowing all over the place. Switched to stiff offshore, long overhead peelers at first light.
