Wow… I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a poor November for waves! Usually you can at least bank on a cranking swell for Thanksgiving, (especially if I’m land locked somewhere else on Turkey Day), but no such luck this year! It looks like we’ll finish out the month with continued anemic surf and only a dulled glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

Hopefully Mother Nature gets out of Rehab soon and back into the work force. She’s definitely been asleep at the wheel over the last couple of months! Keep your fingers crossed that we get rewarded in December!!!

For Friday morning should see a minor uptick in energy with the better West facing beaches seeing waist high surf. The conditions look unreal with all day offshore winds… we just need a decent burst of swell!!!

*To add insult to injury we got quite a bit more rain than I thought we would and that will result in the dreaded “Urban Runoff Syndrome”. This being the first decent rain storm in a long time, we anticipate extremely dirty water as all outlets to sea are flushed of every toxin known to man, and into our beloved Pacific Ocean. Do yourself a favor and stay out of the water for 72 hours, (which shouldn’t be hard with the current state of affairs), and if you are going in, at the very least, use some ear plugs and rinse off quickly after exiting the water.
