SATURDAY 4 pm Rough Water at the Harbor


Medium tide with lots of rough white water surgy waves one on top of the other. Little interval between waves. Current pulling south fairly strong. 56 degrees F per Surfline but the water felt warmer than that. 

7 surfers struggling to get  out to the 3-5 foot poorly shaped waves this afternoon. I saw several decent rides. I'm always amazed at how the surfers paddle through the incoming surge and actually get through to  the bigger sets. Tough, wiry guys. 

I kicked out and around here and there, being pulled toward the south rock jetty. I didn't have much wind. 

I couldn't get out to the big stuff today. Even if I had had the wind, I don't yet have the confidence again yet. 

I decided to get out and I walked north to the north jetty. I kicked around and tried to get out but half-heartedly. Ended up kicking easy and drifting south a bit before I called it a day.

Cold is good for me. 

A couple of photos. Hot  coffee is nice afterward.
