San Diego surfers....

[tomcat360]

I know there are some of ya'll on here....

I'm trying to get a trip out there this summer, like 2nd week in June. Just wondering what I should expect the surf to be like. I'm contemplating shaping a new board to take out with me (like a 6'6" thruster) but maybe I won't need it.


Thanks for any replies.

I would recomend a fish. Tends to be small for the most part during the summer. Sometimes we do get a freak swell so make sure you check the extended forcast before you come.

Its funny but last june we actually had a little bump if memory serves me correctly. The only downside to june really is what we call "june gloom" it tends to be well gloomy

A fish is always a good board to have handy in san diego thats what im busy shaping. However i spent the whole of last summer interchanging between a 6'4 and a 6'8.

Junes a bit hit and miss with the surf but there is still a chance you will catch some swell i wouldnt bother from july-early september as its usually small and inconsistant.

Hope you catch some swell and if you do get down here maybe hit me up

If you live in OB isaluteyou then you only live down the street from me.
But I do think last june we got a 5-6' swell that came in. Pretty nice shape to it as well if I remember correctly.

Yep im in OB right by the pier. Who knows i have probably seen you in the lineup before and didnt know it

Yeah the swell was something like that i just remember being pretty stoked we actually had something.

To say the least. Can't wait till I can go back to my normal work schedual so I can get back in the water.

I'm actually up a little ways in mission beach.

[isaluteyou]

Ive only surfed the mission beach jetty before fun little break but the poeple were a little antsy so i didnt bother going again At the moment im going iin at around 10:30 so if you ever are around at that time just give me a holla

[CHarvey]

I don't get off work until 6pm tonight. Thanks for the invite though.

Well I'm sure it will beat the beautiful Lake Atlantic, haha.

[CHarvey]

Ya but you might get the great pacific lake. It happens.

I got Lake Pacific on my birthday last year.. took the whole day off from everything, was all jazzed cause I decided to head out to surf.. Absolutely nothing to ride..

[CHarvey]

It's usually rainging on my birthday

I had a sweet, sweet B-day last year. Big party at San O! Got a gift cert from Clairemont Surf Shop for a new board.

June is usually not so big, but it's always fun.

Nice to see you on this forum CHarvey, hope to see you at San Elijo on Saturday.

[CHarvey]

Sorry I missed you yesterday Otter. Damn beer!

[Otter]

LOL! We'll get together soon, missed one helluva good time. Mentos and I hit San Elijo with head high surf. Steep and fast. Got some sweet rides, but no tubes this time! Dang!

expect loooots of people at the beaches, lots of Zonies

[CHarvey]

Zonies is only a portion of what we get in MB.
Got a story I'll have to post of for all you locals a little later on.
Today was interesting when I went home for lunch...

[tomcat360]

Are zonies what I generally like to call goobers? Which everyone else calls kooks?

[Otter]

Zonies are tourists from Arizona.

[CHarvey]

Zonies are people from Arizona. but... ya they are kooks.
