Yesterday: North Coast popular spot

A few chest high sets, a little power, lefts better than rights.

Wind was on the exposed beach breaks.

Probably will be better today.

The hitting streak continues... H to OH, lined up, lit up green gems with light offshores this morning.

This session is going to be my prozac for a six day work week.

So bummed. I was lined up for Thursday go until 7am when a work related dullness struck. I convinced myself that it wouldn't be that good but your post just rubs salt in the wound.

Heading up to the Strait on Monday, working in Seattle Tuesday...just in time for it to go into the tank...at least last I checked.

Gotta love my timing.

My timing sucked last week too. Had option of a Monday or Thursday and just couldnt wait and pulled the trigger too early. I realized I blew it when I checked buoy on the way and it jumped to 14@16...sheit! Big logs rolling around path washed out on 7ft. high tide. Probably shouldnt a paddled out (alone) but paid some dues and faired ok.

Thursday was o.k. until approximately 12:10 p.m. When high tide and n.w. wind combined for severe downturn. Least that's what happened around here.

Took a bro from Hawaii out first his first cold water surf, he was tripping! He pulled on all that rubber and said he felt like he was heading out for a space walk, first duck dive and his eyes were as wide as saucers. He kept saying stuff like "ho bra, I just saw a seal!" good stuff...

There seems to be a major deviation between this week's wind speeds reported in Magic Seaweed and the wind speeds in the NOAA weather report on this website. I.E., Friday at 6 mph from the south on MS vs. 20-25 on NOAA. England, where MS is prognosticated, is at a remove from the real Oregon coast.
But Sunday 10.5 at 15. Wow! If only the wind...
Oh, right, that's November! Big and Round November.

how about the gap between MSW and Surfline? Today MSW was calling for 3 ft. waves while surfline called for 13-15ft. They were both off by a bit but MSW was much closer to reality...they both (and NOAA) got the winds pretty wrong, thankfully.

Rolled the dice a couple days ago, was big and kinda scary looking with nobody out. Poor timing left me floundering and getting slammed onto the rocks. It feels like my leg is broken but my wife is probably right, I'm just a pu$$y...

bulballas -"I'm just a pu$$y". No Doubt. But it's November now. Perhaps you'll redeem yourself and soon she'll think you're a "studmuffin".
