These early morning low-tides have really set up the later part of the day to only get better. A little more swell energy showed up today at G-Land…contra to what the forecast had predicted. And this is always a good reminder not to get overly reliant on the swell models. Money Trees was breaking more down-the-line than yesterday morning, but Kongs is and has been the staple on these retracting swell conditions. Still, it was a nice size…about 5 to 8 foot on the face at midday and still offshore all day!
By the late afternoon, Moneys rarely had sets, but no one sitting down there either. I was watching it from Kongs, hoping to get lured down there and enjoy it alone. Kongs was quality fun, but it wasn’t that consistent (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…)

eatable delectables
looking out from within
Some morning surf checks are pretty evident that the day is not meant to be spent surfing. There was size, not large, but enough to unload some loud one’s on the reef. There’s something about the sky here, more about the moisture content in the local atmosphere that seems to be a tell-tale of how the day may be. G-Land was 3 to 4 foot again but the westerly wind-flow never came. Walled-up lumps with many bumps make the G-Land Surf a true challenge in projecting long-distances with control and fluidity.
