1.29.13 - Blacks

Paddled out at 6:15 am, solo. Tide was pushing to a 5.2' high at 9:53am. Conditions were somewhat choppy, with 10-14 mph S-SE gusting winds. Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 4.9' from 275° at 9s. There were some chest to head high + waves. The S-SE offshore winds were really strong, making it hard to paddle into the rights, and I was getting blinded by the blowing water when paddling for lefts. The winds were also blowing us out to sea... There was a pretty stong south bound current as well. I surfed mostly towards middles, and only caught two waves in 45 minutes. I decided to call it a day. Waves were 3-5+. Water was cold, but felt comfortable in my 4/3 booties and hood. Board ridden: 5'11" Xanadu Pig 2.
