After a couple of days sidelined by Marie to spectator status, it was great to get back in the water at SCSP today. Nothing epic, not even picaresque, but actually an excellent session.
Paul Tordella and I met at the Calafia lot, to find shoulder - sometimes head - high, glassy, peaky surf on a nearly deserted break.
The water was cooler - maybe 67 at first - but I still trunked it comfortably for over 1.5 hours. The early photos don't show it, but it was sunny throughout, yet the glossy surface remained undisturbed.
Paul and I found the stretch between the Main Peak and the Rocks empty, and worked long lefts and occasional tubes alone for most the session until a couple of sticks decided to paddle out exactly where we were and endeavor to take every wave ... whether they could make it or not. Not nearly enough, though, to spoil a sweet session. Dozens of waves, sliding along glossy, shoulder-high ramps, deep into the inside.
Just the day for a guy about this size:
Not writing a lot today ... off to see if the peninsula has morphed into somewhere amenable to an evening surf.
