5.20.13 - 18th St. Del Mar

Paddled out at 8:25 am, solo. Tide was dropping from a 4.1' high at 7:11 am. Conditions were glassy, with no winds. Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 5.0' from 201° at 17s. Surf was pretty clean in Del Mar today. It was a little soft due to the tide. I did catch a lot of wave for the hour window I had. I broke my leash on a bigger left (older leash with some fin nicks on it) so I had to swim all the way to the beach a couple of times. Waves were 4-5' with occasional pluses. Water was really comfortable in my short sleeve full. Board ridden: 5'11" Xanadu Pig 2.
