Good afternoon to the Bay Area!

It's a beautiful day, 85 degrees and 3 feet here in Newport Beach. Summer is just around the corner, and with that brings warmer water-can't wait. Here's to surfing the cold waters of the Bay, from a native who migrated south.

Here's to great days a the beach

The surf at OB is completely going off today. Time and a half over with off-shore breezes prevailing. Lets have a go bro. Psyche! Season is over mates. Better take up kite flying with this hideous onshore wind scenario. That or power drinking whiskey out of a beer bong.

Hello fellow surfers...I just found this site,so,sorry if I don't know what I'm doing. I'm currently in Georgia right now, and I know what you're thinking, but there ARE some pretty good waves here. There is an island in Savannah called Tybee Island that I drive down to about every spring break. My friends and I usually go bodyboarding,if not surfing, there. The locals are VERY friendly and helpful-just stay away from the egotistical college guys. I use to live in San Diego,so I know what you're thinking about surfing here....but it really is worth a shot if you're around the area. That's about it,thatks for listening:)

Surfed Santa Cruz yesterday and it was 8-10'+ at the lane. The morning was choppy and bumpy but it cleaned up nicely in the afternoon. Went out for about four and a half hours and got out at 4:30 pm . We were just to blasted to paddle out for even one more ride. It was really going off... cant wait for more....

Surfed at Pillar Point Harbor today and found some good waves surprisingly. Everywhere else was blown out and HUGE! Pillar was solid 6 feet on the set waves and caught some great long rides. Couldn't help but think whether anyone was challenging Mavericks today because the swell is pumping.......

Surfed Pleasure Point today (Sun Nov 24th)- it was tiny - sets rolled in and one wave per set was rideable, but had a fun time sharing it with a couple of friends and some local sea otters.

The sea almost took my sweet life today. My leash got wrapped around my neck and choked me. Later when I got in the water it was quite rough. I was very frightened

Evening glass off at bolinas was great nice and smooth 3-4.5 feet and fast. Kind of harsh Rip though. Otherwise nice fun surf!

Surfed the South Jetty in Florence, Oregon. It was horrible today. The River is flooding and pushing the waves right back to where they came from. . .

Morro Rock was even bigger today. It was a knarly 10'-12' with occasionally bigger sets closing. By the end of the day, just about everybody agreed that it was out of control. At low tide, Insides (Inside Morro Harbor) started breaking at about a solid 6'-8' off the very end of jetty. I counted two broken boards and three snapped leashes during my two, three hours sessions at the Rock today. I heard Big Sur was to big to surf right now except Molera. Grab your guns. Winter is finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey bodyboarders, surfers, other forms of riding waves. Morro Rock was big today. It was about 8'-10' and knarly. Bigger (possibly 12') waves were closing out. I can only imagine that Ocean Beach is going ballistic. Somebody e-mail me and tell me what Fort Point, Deadman's and VF is doing. I can't wait to move there after I graduate!!! aquamane@ix.netcom.com

Surfed San Carp Creek yesterday. It was 4'-6' and very hollow. I was all by myself. There are still private spots on California's Central Coast! The surf is powerful and so is the current but it is well worth the "barrels" of fun that I had. High tide or low tide, this place goes off!! Come join me sometime, the Central Coast has many great uncrowded spots (Big Sur down to Montana De Oro). I don't mind sharing the waves. See ya out there!!!!!!

hello to those of you up north. I am down here at lovely UCSB where we have been experiencing a solid five foot west/northwest swell for the last two days. I can only imagine that all of the northern coast is feeling the pulse twice as much.
