Back on Track

After only blogging sporadically for the past several months, it feels good to be blogging regularly again. There really wasn't a lot to blog about in the beginning of this month (or for the past several months, for that matter), but Mother Nature made up for it with a nice swell these past few days.

The swell had dropped significantly this morning. There was still a little something out there, but it wasn't anything compared to what we had for the past two days. Hopefully this is the first of many good swells for this fall and winter.

Nice

Even though the lighting was poor, it was nice to see some sizable surf this morning.

Seconds

Went for seconds in the afternoon.

Thanksgiving 2013

Happy Thanksgiving!

After going virtually wave-less for several months, this morning's waves were definitely a sight for sore eyes.

Flat Like a Pancake

It was about as flat as can be out there this morning so I decided to join a couple of buddies for breakfast instead of catching a sesh. Too bad I didn't have the foresight to order pancakes for breakfast to coincide with this post's title. Ha

Flat as can be :(

Veteran's Day 2013

A special thank you to all the military veterans!

I wasn't expecting a lot this morning, but I was expecting more than what Saturday offered. I was kind of surprised when I got to the beach this morning and saw that the surf was actually smaller than Saturday. With nothing else to do today, and wanting to rub it into Monday's face, I decided to take a stroll on the beach and snap a few pics. At least the conditions were nice.

Hoping for Something Better

I was hoping for better surf and lighting conditions this morning, but neither was to be had. Surf was small, almost flat, really. And the sun didn't pop out until I was about to leave. Decided to take some pics anyway.

The lot and the pier - two staples of this spot

High Tide and High Expectations

With the high tide being as high as it was this morning, I figured there could be some fun little shore break barrels. In fact, I had some pretty high expectations (not so much for the waves, but for just having fun) - some of the most fun sessions that I've had at the spot that I went to this morning have been messing around in the shore break on a high tide. Unfortunately, the waves weren't as fun as I was hoping they'd be. I ended up going out anyway, if for nothing more than to get some exercise.

After a quick sesh, I decided to take a few pics since the last time that I took pics of this spot was *checks old blog posts* back in May.
