Big Socal Surf

Postby isaluteyou » Sat Jan 09, 2010 1:20 am

Okay guys n gals its looking like sandiego and surrounding area's may see some significant swell on the horizon. I hope it wonte be a big let down like almost every forcasted big swell event has been. From what i can gather it starts building throughout friday night and the first blip should reach us tomorrow either way im expecting to see waves so thats a good thing. But i have my eye mainly on whats coming in on wednesday next week. Who knows, most the reports i have read vary from 8-20ft in their report LOL i will be satisfied with either - well maybe not too big i dont have the boards to handle :lol:

Will keep an eye on this and report back whats happening as i have front row seats :wink: Unlike our friends across the pond we wont freeze but could drown depending on the size this chucks up :lol:

well this weekend did throw down some big waves in the 8ft+ range. Biggest still to come. Got into a bit of a sketchy situation having my leash snap half a mile out to sea or something and then having to swim all the way back in some pretty strong surge - somehow my board managed to miss the pier and squeeze through the pilings undamaged. Lucky both me and my board made it back :-)

It looks like it will hit today seen it building all day. Will access the situation at the incoming tide and make a choice about whether or not to hit it. Really depends how big it gets anything under 12ft and its a go.

If anyone is wanting to paddle out im gonna hit the cliffs probably garbage or indicators at around 2:30-3:30pm (look for a dreadlocked guy) - but most likely south garbage wanna make use of that nifty channel if it really starts bombing DOH any bigger and i dont think my boards can hack it.

If i dont surf i will take some snaps off my patio.
