E's Surf Report: rainy... kinda surfable..

what up y'all.. i cruised out to Sloat this morning.. thinking i might get wet... and looking back i probably should have jumped in for a few... but.. conditions were pretty abysmal.. For the most part funky, jarbled waves mushily broke on the outside.. then reformed and closed-out on the inside.. Every 5 or 10 minutes a somewhat attractive section would appear and tempt me to suit up.. but.. to be honest i randomly had to take a shite and i also was salivating over this oat-maple muffin that i had at home! I didn't see anybody out at OB, though it's surfable out there if you're Daily Dale Wavestar or somebody.. (he's the guy who has surfed 10,000 days in a row at this point! seriously! he lives up in Bodega Bay. His name is Dale Webster.. you've probably heard of him.. A friend of mine cruised up there a few weeks ago to have a surf with Dale.. it was 7:30 in the morning on this cold, rainy, ugly day in December.. They rolled out to Dillan, or Doran, or something, because Salmon Creek was too big.. the waves were stormy and ugly.. but.. of course, Dale hasn't missed a day in TWENTY FIVE YEARS!!! soo.. i guess that Dale whips out this doober and they proceed to have a sesh at 7:30 in the morning and then surf in the slop for an hour and a half.. It's good to hear shit like that.. Makes me feel like a fair-weather surfer for not going out this morning..

anyway.. i bet Rockaway was good this morning?? anyone check it?
Swell is supposed to grow today.. it was supposed to be here this morning solidly but waves weren't much bigger than head high at Sloat.. soo?? we're supposed to get another macker swell this weekend.. be prepared!!

anyway.. check out this shot of our boy Christian charging a meaty right at OB..
