Description:
Wasn't perfect for Rodiles and bit of a crowd gathered (from 5 when I paddled out to 10 after a bit)... but after half a year of beach break I got the two best lefts of my life. At first had to wait for leftovers... then it got super consistent and pulled a conveyor belt move where all ten were either paddling or on a wave for my last three waves. I've been pretty ill and shouldnt have surfed at all, so this wore me out quick. Head high, slightly overhead sets...

It's one of my best session ever ! The sandbank was just perfect and the waves were rippable. With the tide, the waves were surprisingly getting better and better: at the end each wave was tubular and easy to catch. As they was absolutely no current, it was easy to surf.
I got several tube with a long one.
The start: fun waves for long turns and fun cutbacks
then came the tubes !
haaaa !!!

Description:
Couldn't ask for much more in a beginner trip that I'd been dreaming of for 20+ years. Maybe just more waterproof sunscreen for my schnaz!
Size and shape of waves at Dominicalito (about 10 minutes south of the main beach) is more suitable for beginners. There were two other good, gentle spots we surfed over the 14 day trip, too, but their names escape me now...
Take stingray warnings seriously. One instructor got stung 'cause he doesn't bother with "the shuffle". Though it was his first sting in 12 years and it didn't slow him down much, some people have much more of a reaction; it was a pretty nasty wound with plenty of bleeding.
Watch out for floating logs, too. They hurt when you slam into 'em!

What a session! The tide was strong (110) but waves were perfect and we were only 2. I stayed alone in the water for 45mn more. Even the water was cold, it was nearly a dream session: easy to take hollow but not too fast waves !
I tested my new wetsuit (a Psycho Freak) which is wonderful.
a look on the size
same size with no surfer: the session was like that

Good surf session even though it was super cold! Had to throw on the booties for only the third time this year! Waves started to pick up around 4 when it hit high tide. But by then the offshore wind was pretty strong. Waves were pretty weak and mushy but got a few quick hits before the wind forced you out the back.
Pretty good surf session.

Description:
It was really cold ! I had to stop my session after 1:30... As I was the first in the water, I took a too short board, I should have take the 6'8". Nethermind, as the waves were glassy, the big point was to take off. After the board was perfect.
not so small

Description:
8 AM after the big blow yesterday drove down to 54th Place on the Peninsular at Belmont Shore, Long Beach (inside the break wall and the back side of Seal Beach River Jetty). Cold offshore breeze with stormy chest to head high peaks breaking close to the shore in milky grey water.

The Professor came down to check it out but as he was still feeling a little "under the weather" gave it a pass. Suited up and paddled out, only a handful of guys out. Stiff shore break with a bite and a rip channel to get through. First wave was big set wave that broke like a mini pipe and got totally pounded.

Added to the fact that both the air and water temps were in the very low 50F's I
noticed that somehow tiny sharp pieces of gravel from the bottom had gotten into my booties and were trapped under my toes, so every time I popped up they felt like broken glass on my poor numb tootsies!
Only caught one decent set wave, took off got covered up then came off the lip into the washing machine, a boogie boarder got totally barreled on a late drop in. As the tide came in, the wind shifted to side shore and the swell also dropped so it was only a very small window.
