Yesterday was an epic day at Seal Beach, with up to five-foot waves and less than a dozen of us surfing. The report was for 1-2 feet, poor conditions; however, we had glassy, big, well-formed waves all day and by the time we pulled out our arms were toast.
Today, many of us from the California Surfing Club went down to San Onofre (San O) for an outing. The surf was great in the morning, but by about 2 p.m. the onshore wind and high tide made the waves mushy. Still, we were able to catch numerous waves and ride them for up to about 100 yards.
Lots of surfers today, and now back in Hunting Beach ready for a shower, dinner, and rest for tomorrow’s surfing session back at Seal Beach. The surf is supposed to get better and higher all week, ending with rain on Saturday … then I must head back north to get ready for the the Professional Bowhunters Society’s Gathering in Portland for five days, followed on by two or three days surfing Oregon, then home, and then off to Kansas City for a two-day meeting for Compton Traditional Bowhunters.
Hopefully, April will be slower!
