1.5.13 - Blacks

Paddled out at 6:15 am, solo. Tide was dropping to a 1.45' low at 10:07 am. Conditions were glassy, with offshore winds. Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 3.9' from 271° at 13s. Another nice day at blacks with consistent head high waves and occassional "canyon bombs" rolling though. It was somewhat crowded, so I didn't get many wave, but it was still really nice conditions. After two hours my hands were so numb, I had a hard time catching a decent one in. Waves were headhigh plus. Water was around 57. Was pretty cold in my 3/2 full, time to bust out the 4/3 for dawn patrols. Board ridden: 5'10" KG Twinzer.
