G-Land backed off just a bit from yesterday’s conditions, but we were given a nice present to console the dropping swell. Winds stayed down for most of the day, but a nice little segment of offshore’s blew from about 14:00 to 15:00. Great to feel the wind on my back when I was sitting out front. Should have been in the water, but it wasn’t my time. Only 1 hour of offshore, but pendulum swings have to swing past zero at some point. Maybe this was the point. Most likely just a local event, but I’m staying FULL OF HOPE!
G-Land surf was 6-8 foot faces and coming in fairly consistently all day. Kongs through Money Trees was working and plenty of smiling faces at the day’s end. And at the day’s end…well…I’m just realizing that my HOPEFUL rational for the season switch is going to be contradicted….well, we got dumped on heavily once again. The jungle is beautifully green.
I’m still hoping that the forces that may be will reorient the wind patterns soon enough. Until then, I’ll still be thinking about another mission to Reverse G!

I woke up with the strong hope that today would be the day I surfed again. Early morning conditions were promising, just needed the offshores to start up. Fan Palms was about 4 to 6 foot (faces) and rare sets were making it down into Moneys. I continued to feel positive that today I would remember what riding a surfboard was like…haven’t stood on one since November the 8th.

I have to give credit to the organization… pretty sure it’s NOAA/NCEP’s OMB and affiliates… that exists by collecting data and processing that information into a usable model. Anything up to 2 days out seems to be fairly accurate, beyond that and too many events can happen to change the course of a surfer’s hope.
By noon, sets started to break at Kongs and any stresses from not surfing the past couple of days faded away. G-Land was (more…)

0.0 meter tide at sunrise and with the decrease in swell, I could only see 1 foot of the 2 feet faces. With small swell and low low-tides, there is definitely a reason for hope. When there’s size on a 0.0, noticing how long surfers can disappear from view on their below-sea-level bottom turn is a good indicator of how quick you can get pushed up onto the reef.
By the reach of a 1.0 meter tide, both the offshores and surf started to rise up. So I planned my surf to ride off the crowning 2.0 meter high and into Happy Hour! It was few and far in between sets, but same for the number of people out in the surf.
G-Land was about 3 to 5 feet on the face and if you were the chosen one, that rare overhead wave came straight to your smiling face. Clean and (more…)
