surfshot.com sez (my comments in bold italics):

Occasional shoulder high sets.

Disorganized and mixed up.

Waves are breaking right in front of the parking lot and close to the pier.

Bigger sets are closing out.

Water bumps and mushy conditions.

Some corners can be found if you lucky.

Waves size: Waist high

Sets size: Chest high

Sets Interval: 4 - 5 min

Surfers Out: Over 20 guys out

I just don't get it!


Yesterday's report was that The Shaws was the best in SD - 6 guys out -

Today it's: "Disorganized and mixed up - Over 20 guys out"

- I guess they could paddle out today?


Wind: Calm

Weather: Cloudy

- Best Day EVER - Stay Away - May 6, 2003 -

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

What I say:


Made a speed run to JJ's this morning - I was there at 5:05 am.

South wind was just starting to blow, but I didn't have much time.

Went back to O-Side Blvd., grabbed a few, and still made the 7:15 am Coaster - whew -

The Shaws was schmokin' again today - south wind - but no time this morning for me - maybe lunch time?

Interesting Wave Chart - by the way -

wetsand and surfshot predicted major south swell yesterday and today -

opps!!


Sure don't look like a south swell to me!

Later,

BA

Opps 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.
