Spring-Summer-Fall Surf Lies 2025

[Doc]

So...finally got in the water last week...
Sunny Sunday at everyone's favorite cove...
Felt as crowded as summer...
Then nearly empty the day after...
Reminded me why I avoid the weekends there.
Waves were kinda funky...
A few corners to be found but...
More closeouts and disappearing phantom peaks...
Than actual surfable waves.
Did have about an hour where...
Things kinda came to order...
And a few surfable lefts showed their faces.

Then down central coast way for a little family camping...
Jetty surfing potential that really never came together.
Thursday was almost doable but...
Watching the overhead closeouts on the inner bar...
Just made my knees, elbows and back hurt more without even paddling out.
There were a few takers, but not alot of makers.
Next day was more inviting but I only had a short board..
And not a lot of motivation.

Things look potentially surfy the next day or 3 so...
Might try to find some.
Hope you all are getting it surfers.

Short period Spring swells and shifty Spring sandbar surfs. The seasons have indeed changed and been wandering south of the Head again on the few days a week I have to surf. Not lying when I say it has been far from epic, but have had a few east wind am sessions that were pretty fun. One in particular was peaky punchy, a cold clear morning. In fact my board bag iced up overnight on the roof of my rig and sleeping was quite cold that night in my summer bag without hookups for my heater at my free pull in spot. Had it to myself for the most part but just as tide was getting good a pack of frothy N Coast groms who traveled almost as far as I did to this spot paddled out and swarmed the peak, a couple of em ripping with skills, little barrels snaps and airs, that are only developed at one wave around here or from travel. Bit of a surprise to see them, but they smiled and we stayed out of each others way. Guess bird shitt rock or goonies north wedge wasn’t good? Caught a ton of waves that AM on the Lightbender winged twin, my 1st good surf on this board in a while. More recently a wonky one with a little size and another surprise, lack of crowd on mid day Sat at Sharts. Can’t say I had any good ones on my chonk 80s shorty but my goofy foot buddy found a few of those lefts on a new stick that seems to be working for him. Maybe some mid period west swells in the forecast.
