6.14.2012 - Blacks

Paddled out at 5:45. Tide was on it's way up to a 3.16' high at 7:25, so some of the waves were backing off a little. Conditions were clean with a slight south wind that picked up a little through the session. Torrey Pines Outer buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height as 4.1' from 276°.  During the session you could tell that some of the 1.3' SW 20s interval was mixing in with the two 7-9s WNW swells. This made for a strange combination of some inconsistency followed by periods of back to back swells. The waves were in the waist to head high range, with occasional overhead sets. The bigger sets were getting more consistent as the session progressed. Water was a little chilly for my spring suit (need to get the sleeves cut off of my old full suit). Board ridden: 5'10" KG Twinzer.

Chris M. met me down there, a little while after I paddled out, and we both caught some fun rights and lefts at south peak. It might have been better at middles or north peak, but it was more crowded there as well. I had a couple of waves where I paid the consequence of starting to push the twinzer a little more, as I wiped out due to the tail spinning out...

Note: I am going to start including pics of the buoy reports from lajollasurf.org and surfline.com.

Paddled out around 5:45. Tide was b/w the 3.2 high at 4:54 and the 1.2 low at 10:50. Conditions were pretty clean with a slight north wind blowing. Most of the sets were chest high, with the occasional plus coming through. The rights off of north peak were fun, but the lefts (all around) were better. Torrey Pines Outer buoy reported that the significant wave height was 2.6' from 281°. The water was really clear and I was comfortable in my spring suit. Board ridden: 5'10" KG Twinzer.

All around it was a really fun session. Enjoyed watching this kid out there, who was surfing with his dad. He was ripping, and pulling in on almost every wave he caught! People I knew in the lineup: Derrik M. Billy L.

6.9.12 - Blacks

Picked up by Joel S. and Chris M. for a 6:30 departure. Paddled out close to 7:00. Slight south wind texture on the outside, but cleaned up when the wave broke. Nice lefts and rights all around. 5.3' from 280° at 9 seconds. Consistent chest to head high, with the bigger sets being overhead. Strong south current plus rip tide, so spent a lot of time paddling to stay in place. Tide was a -0.1 low at 8:03 AM. I wore my spring suit and was totally comfortable. Board ridden: 5'10" KG Twinzer Fish.

It took me a while to catch my first wave due to the current, and being nervous of the sets coming through. Ended up catching several fun rights off the south end of south peak. A good time was had by all three of us!

My Quiver 06-2012

Since I am just starting to use blogger as a surf journal, I might as well have my current quiver be the first post.
