E's Surf Report: fliz

"i got five on it"

all signs point toward flat. I opted for the sleep-in/snuggles/french-toast/kick-it morning. It looks like dribblers are farting up onto the beach.. but.. most likely nothing to give you that little surf-charged flutter in your stomach. Blakestah predicts a NW windswell to arrive this weekend (4ft 13sec).. mixed with another South swell on sunday (210 degrees, 1.3ft 17sec).. we should maybe see some wave-activity for the weekend and into next week. If the winds stay light that windswell might be great for local beaches.

Come-on little windswell..
give us some waves..
we'll gently ride your breakers
please make em' concave.

"the D O double drizzay.. the fly human being seeing no i'm not european bein' all i can.. when i got the mutha-fuckin' mic in my hand.. and.."

umm... soo also there is a light onshore at OB (6knots out of the west) but the surface looks OK.. the SF buoy is still reading 2.3ft 14 seconds but it looks like all the swell activity is coming from 180degrees.. I guess the SF buoy sits far enough out from the coast that it receives the 180degree swell??.. while.. that same swell, capable of providing us grandiose amounts of both spiritual and tactile pleasure, just innocently palpitates right past our hallowed shores.. or something..

i also want to just comment on what an amazing experience it was to follow and ride this last south swell from its beginning to its end.. Last thursday and friday we started noticing inconsistent groundswell bands blipping into the offshore-groomed confines of Montara.. nothing special really but exciting to see the beginning of the swell.. then on friday afternoon i ventured further south (based on a tip-off) and saw the definitive cordoroy bands stacked up toward the horizon.. the swell was pumping and i tried my damndest to nestle into it's womb.. Saturday and Sunday shit continued to pump.. though by sunday the biggest sets had diminished.. I also noticed that the consistency of waves increased.. which i guess reflected the diminishing swell-period (17sec to 14sec).. After having surfed the same swell for 4 or 5 sessions my subconscious positioning and movement became better attuned to the pace of the sets.. it was weird but i definitely noticed it.. i knew when to pass on a wave because the probability of a better one existing behind it was high.. and i knew when to go on a semi-random wave because there was most likely a 5-minute lull behind it. Then it was great to wind down the swell with a couple seshies at OB.. The same pattern evident in the sets.. at a comfortable surfspot for me.. niiiice..

soo.. i'm off to Mendocino on sunday and won't be back until next sunday.. i'll probably be able to get a few reports up but it won't be every day.. Hope everybody finds sculpted, head-high, razor-sharp neverending sections of nirvana..

anybody have any pre-season resolutions for the upcoming season?
- get their deepest barrel ever?
- swim among dolphins?
- floater?
- ride backside down the line?
- 100 sessions in a year?
- carving 360?
- aireals?
- hangin' ten?
- have more fun?
- yoga?
- rip shit up?
