01.07.17 - Boneyards

Delayed post 7 of 8:

Paddled out around 10:30, because I was waiting for the tide to drop. I ended up meeting Larry out in the lineup. Caught some fun waves, and I was happy that I didn't have to swim for my long board, as I surfed leash less that day.

Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 5.6' from 285° at 7s. Surf was pretty random with the two ground swells and wind swell. Peaks were shifting all over the place, and a lot of waves were just a drop. Waves were 3-5'. Water was chilly, wore 4/3 and booties. Board ridden: 5'11" Xanadu Pig 2.

I started out at swamis but it was only okay. I paddled up to boneyards, and it was much better and less crowded. Towards the peak of high tide it became really inconsistent, but in general it was pretty fun. Waves were chest high plus. Water was chilly. Wore my 4/3 and hood. Board ridden: 5'11" Xanadu Pig 2.

2.9.13 - Boneyards

Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 6.4' from 247° at 11.5s. Conditions were surprisingly clean based upon the storm that had rolled through the night before. The peaks were shifting all around, and you basically had to wait until they were about to break right on you in order to be able to catch them. In general we had a decent session, minus the brief run in we had with these two guys who thought they owned the place. I think Chris had fun riding my 5'10" KG Twinzer Fish. Waves were head high with occasional pluses. Water was still chilly. I wore my 4/3 and booties. Board ridden: 5'11" Xanadu Pig 2.

I caught several waves there, but it could have used less tide. I caught one really long right, so I decided to head back over to swami's to catch one in. Waves were 5-7'. Water was comfortable in my 3/2 fullsuit. Board ridden: 5'10" KG Twinzer Fish.
