| Less
than knee high ground swell breaking on the sand. Rideable for the desperhardcore.
Sorry, no joke...

Lake
Atlantic. Trippy warm. Yellow haze on the horizon???

Cooler.
Light S breeze. Beautiful beach day. Head North for the surf cause it's
not here. |

| Pre-sunrise
paddle session. This AM a rag-tag fugitive fleet of SALSA surf elite paddled
SR park beyond and back while a certain member, lacking social surf skills,
ran the beach, missing out on a good time. Incredible sunrise. Today's surf,
one to three inch swell = flatness. Weekend chop fest on the way. Keep those
boards waxed up!!! |
Light
N puff. Ankle high swell crashing on the sand. For a split second even
considered grabbing the log, then quickly came to my senses. Unrideable.
Yeah
Baby, check out that marine forecast!!! Possibly tomorrow, maybe even
in the AM, then we are good to go for the next two to three days. Bring
on the chop. Love it. Cherish it. Bring it on! Bring it on! Wooooweeee
..... Will begin nightly
updates again starting tonight.

Fun
SALSA morning session at SALSA Point, Boca. Best early on. Thigh high N
swell. Wind increased and turned more NE chopping things up as the tide
fell out. Full SALSA crew (now 40+ member strong). Good time and good vibe.
Great to be out again. ShrimpCreole was the proud winner of today's thimble
jellfish award. Got tore up real bad. So, if you're not up for a good stinging,
today is not for you. Otherwise, we got chop, and it's not going anywere
anytime soon.

After
being completed dusted by SALSA morning team this AM, ShrimpCreole headed
out for a solo mission with Mrs. Creole on the photo end. Not
much fun on the inside. Dumping real hard on the sand at thigh high. Out
side looks meaty but didn't go it alone. Got destroyed (again) by lice.
I am one massive welt. Told Monster that today was my last day for the season,
but lied. Got the itch (pun intended) again.
|
Good
pre-sunrise high tide session with Tuna Shake (surfer formerly known as
Mothra). Waist to occasional chest high drops on the inside. After the
sun popped it seemed to be dumping a little more. No drift. Plenty of
lice.
|
Crash
and Burn / Itch and Scratch session with Tuna Shake and Russ. Waist plus
on the inside. Smaller than yesterday. Started out with a moderate drift
ending with no drift at all. Sealice? I'm sure they are there. At this point
I am so covered with red itchy welts I haven't a clue when or if more are
added. Yes, it's spring, and they are out there. Stop whining like school
children, get some Benadryl and go surf. The season is just about kaput.

| Sunrise
session with Top Shelf, Johnny Quest and Rob. Best waves of the week on
the inside break. Consistent waist high with plenty of shoulder room to
get in and catch a quick ride. Moderate north drift. Rights. No sign of
thimbles in the water. Scratch factor - low.
|
Full
SALSA session this morning catching chop leftovers. Thigh to waist with
a rare waist high set rolling through. Scratch factor - low. Fun factor
- not much better.
|
Fun
morning solo session (hate surfing alone). Bigger than yesterday, more like
Tuesday's surf. Off to Vegas for a few days .... |

Light
SE breeze. 1 - 2 unrideable surf. Hmmm,
go away for a couple days and everything goes to crap, or is it that my
web host has gone out of business? Either way, sorry about the down time.
History links will not be working for the short-term.
|
SE
puffing up @ 15+. Nothing rideable now. If the wind holds, maybe later.
Wouldn't count on it.
|
Teaser.
Wind blowing just short of 15mph. Maybe rideable. Maybe not. Probably longboardable,
but nothing special. |

Desperhardcore
on acid only. Wind still puffing at 10 - 15 from the E. Just short of
what's needed for waves. Oh well, it's spring, what should we expect?
Great for running on the beach. Either way, there's always something to
do. Right shot of a couple of Boca's lifeguard prepping their canoe for
a morning paddle. Beautiful morning.
|
Unrideable
even for those cruising on yesterday's desperhardcore surf acid trip.
You know it's getting closer to summer when I start getting creative with
my shots. Middle and right shot taken about an inch from the sand. If
only it was as large as it looks ... probably still wouldn't be going
out.
|
Sunny
and warm, light on-shore breeze. Unrideable. |

Flippen web host down again so back to Brinkster I go.
Anyhow, completely unrideable and it's not getting any better. We got
robbed.
|
Caught
an after work high tide session with Seacliff. Knee to thigh high SE left
over wind swell. Surfed 40 minutes with the Cliff, ran, then caught an
addition 20 minutes before sun went down. In all, probably about 30 little
rides. Unfortunately, I'm starting to itch. Great to see Seacliff back
in the water. He's the man!
|
Crap!
Thought for sure there would be, at least, knee high scrappage this morning.
It's more like ankle with an occasional knee high macker. Completely unrideable.
Sweet sunrise. Wave size in pics skewed by angle of shot. Sure wish they
were as large as they look. For better perspective check video. Forecast
shows wind picking up tonight, blowing from the E @ 15mph throughout tomorrow,
so there's hope. Completely unscathed by sealice from yesterday's Seacliff
session. |

Wind puffing from the SE at 10mph. Just not enough for
anything rideable. Forecast calls for SE wind at 15mph. Just don't see
it happening.
|
Maybe
longboardable.
