G-Land rained from the heavens this morning! After a reported month or so of only occasional light rain, it just bucketed down for a few hours today. Highly unusual for G-Land in July. So with the rain came variable winds that lasted all day. On the positive side the swell built all day. Beginning around 2-3ft in the morning, it was solid thick 4-5ft in the afternoon and grinding down the low tide Money Trees sections. However with that variable wind it made any barrel riding attempts dangerous and risky.

Not a lot of guests came in with good reports. Although there were still some stoked punters who got some great rides. I took a handful of guests down to Tigertracks late morning. 3 girls and a guy + me, we all had a fun time and got some nice 2-3ft hot dog rights. Perfect waves for the girls to feel at ease on, and still some great pockets for me Asher & I to whip some backhand combos.

Tomorrow should be real good presuming the trade winds blow…

G-Land Surf had an offshore blowing from early morning, yet the waves were pretty custard until after lunch. Swell was there, some 3-4ft sets, which lulled right out late morning on the low tide for a good hour, then later in the afternoon the waves got fairly good through Money Trees, and there were some 3-5ft sets coming through.

After 8 days straight of 6ft+ waves, G-Land surf had me feeling totally zapped this morning. Some sets still in the 4ft range were coming through, but a onshore breeze lasting until 11am meant that by the time it went offshore the swell also dropped to about 3ft.
