Surf Report - Aug 19, 2003 -

The summer that never was - at least in La Jolla - is now officially over!

From surfshot.com, today's surf report:

=============================================

La Jolla Shores - Aug. 19, 2003 - surfshot.com photo =============================================

"Steep drops, rights and lefts and most of'em going fast all the way to the sand.

Workable walls and barrels' sections can be found in front of the parking lot and right shoulders at the North side of the pier.

Almost glassy as the wind got calm.

The best spot so far in San Diego!

It's getting crowded...

Waves size: Waist high

Sets size: Chest high

Sets Interval: 4-5 min.

Surfers Out: 15 surfers

Wind: Calm from SSE

Weather: Cloudy skies"

What more can I say?

The middle of August - South Wind - North Wind Swell - 62 degree water - It's gotta be winter, 'cause surfshot sez La Jolla Shores is: "The best spot so far in San Diego!"

Later,

BA

Another opinion of why NOT to surf in La Jolla -

Cribbed and snipped from a Dan King Essay:

"...The waves are inevitably crappy closeouts. The wind is always onshore. In addition there are serious access problems...

...If you do find a spot to park, you will end up paying for it, and most likely your car will get broken into and/or ripped off while you are out in the surf..."

Oops Forgot Some Stuff:

Thought I'd better add some disclaimers:

* All of the tales I'm spinning are based upon facts of some sort.
* Most of the tales will be at least 50% factual.

I'm doing this web thing for a few reasons, and it is, and will be, "a work in progress" for a while:

1. It's an easy way for me to organize my "autobiography" so my kids will know a bit more about me.
2. I find this computer and internet stuff fascinating.
3. I was lucky to be able to start surfing - at least in my opinion - in the "Golden Age" of surfing - I do have some yarns to spin regarding those times.
4. This is an efficient way for some of the old guys to touch bases again - I've received a few e-mails from old (err, long-time) friends I've haven't seen in forty years or so - I think that's way cool.
5. I'm still surfing almost every day - and, at least in my opinion - that's a pretty "boss" thing to write about.
6. I think it will be nice, in a couple of years, to maybe look back at how good - or bad - the surf was in any given stretch of time.
