6.27.13 - Blacks

Paddled out at 5:45 am, Chris M and Joel S. Tide was dropping to a -0.6' low at 7:07 am. Conditions were glassy, with no winds. Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 3.5' from 212° at 15s. The predicted SW swell was definitely hitting today. It was pretty inconsistent, so initially I thought it was going to be small - but then some sets rolled through… It was the most crowded that I have seen in some time (75+ guys spread out). I did manage to pick off some fun ones with one "hairy" right hand drop. Waves were Head high + on the sets, chest high for the in between waves. Water was comfortable in my short sleeve full. Board ridden: 5'11" Xanadu Pig 2 (twin fin set up).
