Now the onshore wind was on it, S-SE. Not too crowded. All spots nice. Opt for Regular. Catch plenty. Nothing much more to tell.

Afterward, watching from the cars, the Right-hander is going off. Big, solid wedge-y bowls with very-challenging takeoffs. Shocking.

Went out to Regular. Very inconsistent on the outside. Didn't get beyond the middle area, as there were many waves on the inside. Kept catching and paddling with no opportunity to go farther out. I stayed very busy. Quite crowded with many regulars and numerous kooks and longies.

Afterward, the A-framer looked good with a nice west-angle pocket at the main bowl and three guys. It was definitely bombing earlier when I was watching from the car. Heard the morning was going off everywhere.

Caught a lot pretty much non-stop. Everyone was too far on the outside. Many were bowl-y and doubly and lined up all the way. Satisfied after half an hour. Stayed for about an hour. Since I'm belly-boarding (due to strained tendon in knee), I catch many more than standing and do more paddling in a shorter amount of time.

Lots of wave action and form definitely seemed better than many an onshore day. Wind wasn't too strong, light-moderate. Very-close period wind swell. Alas, not as it had looked. Still quite crappy. And it was crowded. Caught a bunch on the inside in the middle. Most waves were combining and cancelling so had to be in the right place, otherwise it was just a slope that wouldn't break.
