I hope so too! It looks like there is going to be a little SW swell in the water, so I am hoping it will be fun down there!

Well jodiego, the surf was not pumping at all. It was small the entire weekend. I don't think that SW swell filled in like they thought it was going
to. Water was nice....I surfed five times and wore trunks each time. There were quite a few campers at Cabras....mostly on the south side where the
cove is. There was one large group on the north side at Long Beach and a few individual cars here and there. Everything seemed pretty quiet and as it
should be.

Thanks for the report Geoff. It certainly has been a very quiet summer for surf. I'm amazed that you were able to trunk it the entire time. It's
usually very cold down there. I'm hoping to get down there some time in September.

You know Woody, you're probably right about the surf being decent this summer. It's just that I have had a run of bad luck. First I got a rash that
kept me out of the water for over a month this spring and now I am just recuperating from an ear infection that kept me out of the water for 6 weeks.
I'm even too embarassed to tell you where I surf, but the fact is I have been surfing this spot for over 10 years and never gotten anything until this
year. But hopefully I'll be OK for the rest of the year. I especially love the fall when everyone either goes back to school or back to Arizona and
the surf picks up and the crowds mellow out.

I too enjoy when the summer crowd goes back to school, and the waves are enjoyable. Sorry for those of us who ARE native Californians that are
financialy forced to live in places like Arizona. Makes us that much more dedicated for the surf!!!

Well, June was one of the best summer months for surf that we have seen in a while......too bad it has fizzled out the last few months.
Regardless...even when it is small, just getting out there in trunks and enjoying warm water and the sun is a treat....but it would be nice if it was
head high or bigger!

Well, I'm not out in Texas for financial reasons but I surely sympathize.....at least you've only got a few hours for a surf trip! Its either six
hours to sloppy Galveston surf (well, once in a while it gets good) or 20 hours to San Diego.
We used to go to Cabras, went there often in the early 80s and camped on the point....surf was okay, sometimes a sandbar would form in the cove and be
really fun. A few too many folks there now for my likes though...........

Cabras has turned into a major destination for SD surfers for whatever reason. They are mostly Baja-noobs who don't really know much and hit it there
for the feeling of an adventure.... little do they know 
Love2Wipeout ... You'll have to find out yourself and check it out. Picks up the South pretty well.

Good, Cabras has some of the worst surf in Baja. Not a surf destination in my book.
