12.30.12 - Turtles (Cardiff Campground)

Paddled out at 7:30 am, with Joel S.. Tide was pushing to a 6.1' high at 9:29 am. Conditions were clean, with offshore winds. Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 4.6' from 279° at 18s. Joel and I started out at Muffs, but quickly decided to head up to Turtles b/c it was handling the sets better than Muffs. The sets were somewhat inconsistent, but when they did roll through there were several waves to the sets. My first few waves were some of the smaller inside ones, b/c I was having a hard time getting positioned correctly for the sets. About midway through the session, I got into a nice ryhthm and caught about 4-5 nice right hand set waves. Waves were head high + (especially on some of the set bombs rolling through). Water was 58°, I was a little chilly today, as my suit was still pretty wet when I put it on. Board ridden: 5'10" KG Twinzer.
