12.08.12 - Blacks

Paddled out at around 11:00am, with Chris M. Tide was dropping to a 1.0' low at 11:28am. Conditions were clean, with slight side/offshore winds. Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 2.6' from 278° at 10.3s. When Chris and I walked down the road middles and north peak looked pretty packed, and there were some decent waves rolling in at south peak, so we chose the less crowded option. Some of the waves were a little "slow" but there were some fun lined up ones as well. My knee was extremely tender walking down, and back up the road, from running a 5k as well as a 1 mile fun run, it held up okay whilst surfing. Waves were chest high with occassional pluses. Water was toasty in my 3/2 full suit. Board ridden: 5'10" KG Twinzer Fish.
