Not sure if it was just me or there was something off with that last batch of swell… my wetsuit is crispy dry after 2 days of waffling at El Porto. If I can’t make ’em in my mind, (and I do have have a vivid imagination), there’s no chance of me exiting the barrel in real life. I saw a few pretty skilled surfers paddle out, and they got completely stymied, which in a very selfish way, made me feel like a little less of a kook.

I hope you guys faired better than I did, but it looked like all the feeble points were packed, and even with all of the Westerly angle in this swell, the majority of spots weren’t getting any real juice. Oh well, hopefully this next round of energy is more cooperative!
______________________________________________________________________________

For Tuesday morning yet another burst of Westerly angled, long interval, ground swell is due to reinvigorate the West facing breaks with head high to OH sets. This energy will roll in at a very Westerly 285-290 degrees with 14-15 second intervals.
