Better than Creek

 

Another nice morning of small waves in the uppers bay.  Buoys were down to 1@15 from the s and no west; waves were maller than yesterday but very similar in feel.  Beautiful morning, perfect offshore conditions and about 50 degrees; thank God for funboards.  Just the two of us out there at 6 and we started a little higher up the point because the bay wasn't working.  After about 20 minutes, we made our way down there and the rides were so much longer and more lined up.  You wouldn't even notice the wave from the beach because of the steep curve at the shack, but this perfect little 1-2 ft wave pops up and grinds for about 20-30 yards.  The face remains steep and our funboards just glide.  So fun, perfect with the 5 ft. high tide and nobody at our spot to bother us.  A little 10 minute flurry at the end of our session tired both of us out.  Totally worth it again, i love the solitude of winter.

My birthday surf was a bust.  Even though the buoys had 3@8 from the West, Creek was weak and either closed out or shoulderless.  And it was foggy and got crowded with high schoolers.  Sometimes you win at creek, but mostly you lose.  Fast forward two days, and even though the buoys were down to 1.4@12, we still gave trestles a shot.  Got to uppers at 6:10 and it was better than we thought, the tide was getting high but there were some waist high sets breaking deep in the bay, perfect for funboarding.  While Richard had the lucky magnet, I caught a few really fun ones and my best wave was caught by the cam.  Clear skies, off shores, and only 4 people make for a fun morning even if the waves are small.  Maybe we should try again tomorrow...
