Session Recap
Smaller and sloppier. Crowded. To escape the circus, did TrueMs (Bs+Ms) then paddled over to PseudoMs (Ms) then went in. And i did hear that, in fact, as we had observed, yesterday afternoon/evening had been going off.

Session Recap
Smaller. Fun. Lighter winds but still somewhat sloppy. Our regular spot was packed, so we did the A-framer. There were some smallish bowls. I had three good rides.
Afterward, up by the car we could see that the wind had backed off significantly and the form had cleaned up. Now our regular spot was going off. It looked really good. We watched as long, lined-up walls broke all the way across. Darn it!

Session Recap
Bigger. Nice conditions/form. Crowded. One factor is the high tide and whatever consequences, positive or negative, that entails.

Session Recap
New energy. At least twice the size of Tuesday (I didn't surf yesterday). West-y. High tide and wind creating messy form. Slightly crowded.

Session Recap
Really bad. My usual spot wasn't surfable. The high tide and near-flat, lack of energy meant groveling on the extreme inside for barely knee-high mushburgers (which we witnessed 10, or so, others doing as we stood on the beach watching for 15 minutes).
So my friend and I did Bs then Bs+Ms. We stayed out a surprising 2.5 hours. We were tired. It had been a relaxing and unhurried session. Didn't catch much, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

Session Recap
Slightly bigger. Kinda crowded with longies. Got into a yelling match with one of them, and it ruined my morning.
Heading to the Big Island for a mini-vacation. No session tomorrow.

Session Recap
Swell? Now I get it--I finally understand. You Advertiser and NWS guys, sometimes you're just kidding when you say the waves will be bigger, right? Jokesters, you.
Started at the A-framer then moseyed over to the Right-hander. Mark was catching all the waves (and wasn't sharing with Bud).

Session Recap
Seemed very west. Did the A-framer alone. Had a few decent ones, but the wait was much too long to be worth it.

Session Recap
Overall smaller with less wave action, but some rare good ones. Nice conditions/form. Just not enough of everything.

Session Recap
Bs+Ms alone. Some okay ones. I like being away from the throngs; but there's a trade off, a price to be paid for such solitude, namely, poor quality.

Session Recap
Did Ms alone. Slope-y and weak. It sucked. Afterward, up by the car I saw that the Right-hander was going off with only three guys. Gee, what a surprise: I made the wrong call. Oh well...

Session Recap
Didn't surf yesterday because I had to (unexpectedly) work all day. It was odd not to get in the water due to my job because that so rarely happens.
Today did the Right-hander because it looked good--and it was for about 15 minutes. During that time didn't score anything noteworthy because the regulars had the lock. I just sat on the side and bided my time. But it deteriorated by the minute, getting windier/sloppier and very inconsistent with agonizing waits. And it was packed with kooks. Eventually I got a few decent ones, but none were spectacular. Another disappointing session.

Session Recap
Did Bs+Ms with a friend to escape the crowd as our usual spot. It was so-so, but I had an awful time. Didn't get a single good one and was kooking out big time. Frickin' frustrating. Very disappointing.

Session Recap
Smaller, very sloppy, and breaking far on the inside. Just like yesterday, it was un-crowded until about 20 people paddled out in the space of 10 minutes.

Session Recap
Slightly bigger, semi-fun wind-slop. It wasn't crowded initially, then about 25 kooks (mostly longies) paddled out.

Seemed better at first (size, conditions) but not really. Quite miserable, actually.
