To be honest…my bed is going to feel so freaking awesome that it might take some sort or serious natural disaster, or a pumping double-overhead combo swell with Santa Ana winds, to properly motivate me enough to leave the soft heavenly goodness that is calling me right now.
Ok…Thursday looks a little surfable (little being the key word there)…there isn’t much swell in the water…but there will be a few semi-rideable waves that will pull together at the breaks that can combo up a little of the swell.
We are going to have a mix of overlapping S-SW swells as well as a bit of NW windswell. The Southern hemi swells are either fading out, weren’t big enough to begin with, or got blocked up by the south Pacifica islands that seem to really like to screw up our swell. The NW windswell will be out there too…but the angle is too steep and most of the that energy will get blocked up by Point conception.
Most spots are going to hold in the ankle-knee high range…basically big enough to push some water on the sand, but not enough to ride. The S-SW facing breaks will be a little more energetic…but even those breaks will be the most fun on the bigger board.
Winds look good, (well of course they do…there isn’t any swell…stupid wind). Look for light and variable conditions in the morning with a couple of small pockets of onshore texture. Overall it will be pretty clean so if you can find a spot that can combo up the swell mix I would try and get on it before the winds get too strong. Look for NW winds 10-15 knots by the afternoon.
I might load up the longboard and give the local little beach breaks a check in the morning…but really I am going to get some coffee and some doughnuts, watch the tide drop…and maybe, just maybe, if I get some extra sleep this morning I might get out there and ride a few windswell softies.
Here are the tides…I would send some extra time listening to your pillow tomorrow.

worst summer ever!!! only good news is that tourist see it this way and hopefully won't come back...
the cold water isn't helping either.....
I don't surf anymore.
At least just recently. I guess what I'm trying to say is that surfing has stopped being part of my normal daily routine.
Still, the last few days have been crisp & clear (hinting of fall), so hopefully by the time things begin to turn around in Sept, surfing will be back as a priority.
well, that's one less guy in the water! sweet! and it is probably true that many tourists will not come back due to the conditions of late screwing up their summer vacation- yet another positive from the negative of this crappy summer.
santa ana winds? thats another good reason to keep me in bed
55 degree water in newport, i thought that was a joke until i got in and my exposed flesh started to painfully ice up. Then i realized o wait ya pretty much everything this year has been one long el nino joke....
and as im typing in the word verification thing that you need to leave a comment it says ...depress...
my thoughts exaction word verification man
ice water, man. ice water.
At least the waves are big enough to push some water onto the sand. That's what I love about Adam. Hes always looking on the bright side of things. Not like you bunch of downers.
Well Windansea was good this afternoon and evening.
This is la nina, please explore life outside of Poohport.
You don't need a space shuttle or the fun zone auto ferry.

No, because poohport is so overrated.
