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 Monday morning there will still be some meat left on the bone as that Westerly energy shrugs off a couple feet in wave height but remains solid with Head high + to OH sets at the better West facing beaches.

The tides are a little low but within reason and even with some rain in the forecast the conditions should be clean all day long again.
