11.15.12 - Blacks

Paddled out at 5:55am, solo. Ended up having it to myself until 6:45 when a couple other guys paddled out. Tide was pushing from a 1.57' low at 2:52am to a 6.86' high at 9:03am. Conditions were clean, with slight offshore winds. Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 2.1' from 278° at 10s. Surf was surprsingly fun today. Perhaps because my expectations were set so low. I mostly surfed towards north peak. There were two seals hanging out on the inside, and they would periodically come closer to me when I was paddling back out... a little creepy. Waves were mostly waist high, with an occassional chest high one rolling through. Water was a little cooler, but still comfortable in my short sleeve full suit. Board ridden: 5'10" KG Twinzer fish.

Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 3.5' at 9s combo NNW and SSW. Surf was pretty clean. The winds were strong offshore at first so it was hard to paddle into the rights. There was a NSSA contest starting at 7:00 at middles, so I drifted down a little south to be out of the contest area. In general the waves were fun, but soft due to the high tide. Waves were chest high with occassional plus. Water was really nice in my short sleeve full suit. Board ridden: 5'10" KG Twinzer fish.

Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 3.2' at 5s from 220°. The south winds were noticable when I was changing into my suit, I was hoping that there was enough east wind to keep it clean, but alas... This was my first session back since injuring my elbow, so I am still glad I paddled out. I surfed for about 45 minutes, and only caught two waves due to the curent and chop it was hard to be in the "right" spot. Waves were 4-6'+. Water was warm in my short sleeve full suit. Board ridden: 5'10" KG Twinzer fish.

Conditions looked pretty junky, but since I was going to be out of town for a week I decied to paddle out nonetheless. I went out close to the ho chi min trail, and there were some okay corners to pick off. I had the peak to my self so that helped as well. there was a strong northbound current. Waves were waist high.
