Quiet and invisible here. Maybe too strong a direction?? And I thot the Hubub was all about Skeets Birthday!!! Now that would be a swell--love or confusion? Had a great day with the dog on the beach; it's like a perfect swell every day! Hope it shakes down the house tonite---Full Moon?!:smug: Tio ps hwy full of Surf Tweakers ready to share waves with 100 of their best friends. Not!

Pounding began overnite! Liquid Tubes. Long distance Traveler. Big high tide during early morning that woke us up and under a Full Moon you could see the waves marching in. Exciting & beautiful. Tio

Were all down at the Wedge today, just like the good old times when we lived there.

I just hope all the young dudes ride and get out safe.

I got some super fun 4-6' waves in Encinitas this morning.

Have a great weekend amigos!

i surfed Ralphs alone this morning. no wind and every set was hitting the point differently. there was one sea lion who came barking through the lineup at one point to announce the next set. it was really low tide which made it funky, but no wind.

oh yeah, i forgot the part about it being thigh to eye high, depending on the set. after an hour (and 5-10 boats looking at it and passing) 2 guys paddled out.

i promptly caught the next one and my buddy fired up the engine and came to get me.

back on the ramp at MCRD by 8:30.......

SummerTime.....and the living's EASY!

Mike99km - 5-20-2011 at 03:45 PM

Got Newport low going high, dawn to 8:00 couple feet overhead Thurs. and Fri. The only longboarder in the water lasted 2 waves. He went home with 2 short boards.:lol::P:lol::lol::P

landyacht318 - 5-20-2011 at 06:58 PM

I surfed Encinitas yesterday and Carlsbad today. Most waves were in the neck high range, but there was the seldom set a foot or 3 overhead.

I caught a half dozen of these bigger set waves, and since nobody would wait outside with me, I had it to myself. Had a blast.

Here's an in betweener later in the afternoon.

surfdoc - 5-20-2011 at 07:59 PM

I have pictures of Los chorros at head to 1+ overhead.......solid swell here!

Good times!
