1.21.14 - 11th St. Del Mar

Paddled out at 6:10 am, with Joel S. and joined later by Chris M. Tide was a 2.02' low at 5:50 am. Conditions were clean, with no winds. Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 4.0' from 267° at 17.9s. Swell has filled in today. Still somewhat inconsistent, and a little walled. I did catch 3-4 really good rights though!. Waves were 6-8’ with occassional 9’ sets. Water was warm in my 4/3 full and hood. Board ridden: 5’11” Xanadu Pig 2 (put my tech flex fins in today).

1.19.14 - 11th St. Del Mar

Paddled out at 3:30 PM, with Chris M. and Joel S.. Tide was dropping to a 0.3’ low at 5:04 PM. Conditions were clean, with no winds. Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 2.9' from 265° at 14.9s. It was really inconsistent, with some long rides coming through (if you were in the right spot at the right time). 11th street was pretty mixed with good, and not so good guys out - I think this was due to the long lulls between sets, which would allow anyone to paddle out to the line up. Waves were chest to head high, with occasional pluses. Water was comfortable in my 3/2 full. Board ridden: 5’11” Xanadu Pig 2.

2.12.13 - 11th St. Del Mar

Paddled out at 6:10 am, with Chris M. and Joel S.. Tide was pushing to a 5.19' high at 10:04 am. Conditions were clean, with no winds. Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 3.3' from 277° at 17s. Today was a really fun session! I would say this was the best session that I have had at 11th St. in the past couple of years. Chris, Joel, and I had the peak we were on pretty much to ourselves. We were all able to score a few really long rides. Some of the more inconsistent sets were closing out some, but the in-between waves would hold up really well. Waves were head high with occasional pluses. Water was cold, but felt okay in my 4/3, booties, and hood. Board ridden: 5'11" Xanadu Pig 2.

2.3.12 - 11th St. Del Mar (Superbowl Sunday)

Paddled out at around 2:30 pm, with Chris M.. Tide was pushing to a 2.8' high at 3:29 pm. Conditions were relatively smooth, with slight onshore winds. This was a pretty crazy session. All conditions were lining up for this to be a pretty decent Superbowl session. A new swell was peaking, the winds and tide  was cooperating for the kick off of the big game, and the crowds were pretty small... The waves weren't really that big, but due to the direction, and long period swells, you would be sitting around for a little while then consistent sets would role through. Almost all of the sets were completely closed out. If you decided to sit on the inside, then you would get pretty cleaned up by the sets. After about an hour or so, we decided to call i a session and headed in, so much for the epic Superbowl session. Waves were head high, and overhead on the sets. Water was cold, but comfortable in my 4/3 and booties. Board ridden: 5'11" Xanadu Pig 2.
