Description:
The best session of the vacation... rocked up early and it was overcast and gloomy and full low-tide, which didn't look good, as the peaks had been working best at mid-high tide.
One guy floundering in shallow water on a foamy, otherwise the breaks were deserted. We headed to the peak just to the left of the bach bars, which looked the most consistent. Once out we were not disappointed - it was bigger than it looked, and significantly bigger than yesterday's (small) surf - the set waves on the peak were shifting around - maybe two swell directions coming in? but the walls were dominantly lefts, which stated with good size take-offs (over head-hight on the face) and then opened into nice long faces - with rides of 70-100m
when gabe went in, I took the RR 8.6 and had fun - alone.
Middle of July in "crowded" peniche - and I was alone in the water!

Hey, Hey, don't wake up Mr. Ray!
Water temps are starting to warm up, aided by the two power stations up river pumping out hot water as residents turn on their air-conditioners. The summer Stingray breeding season is in full swing and the little buggers are all over the bottom of the San Gabriel river mouth in Seal Beach's "Ray Bay " the largest concentration in SOCAL!
Have been wacked three times, (first time is the worst, but they all hurt BAD). First time the barb went in the arch of my naked foot a full three inches.
Aaaaaaaaaaagh! Were talking emergency center!
Second time hot hit in the ankle paddling out, through a booty. Last time was not as bad went through the bottom of the booty, only had to sit in the bucket half an hour.
Anyway some clean little waves this morning, not too much rip current and only a few of us out with an occasional big set breaking in the center bowl. Drew a little blood from my buddy ... he was caught inside as I was barreling down the line, up high and on the nose ... thought I had made it past him when my nose pearled and my board flew back and clipped his cheek. Last week he got a black eye when he smacked his board with his head coming off a re-entry, poor guy his wife is a real witch and keeps him on a short leash.
Surf trip planned for Wednesday, 4 AM drive to Secos Point, just past Malibu, forecast is 3-5 feet with occasional overhead sets, then on up the coast to the Dallas Cowboys training camp in Oxnard to watch the 9 AM -11 AM practice. Don't worry will say Gidday to the cheerleaders for ya all!
Update read: Secos and Jessica Simpson
Went again out this morning in the river. From 6:30 AM to 8 AM it was going off! Chest to shoulder with overhead sets ... long green walls from the center peak all the way (almost 100 yards) across Crabs, before the south wind came up, the tide came in and half of Orange County came out!
Riding my 9'2" Jean-Luc Roberts, scored some nice clean walls, take off in the suck up, duck through the lip across the bowl, work the lip backside, up and down, hold the high line as the wave hits the inside sand bar ... then tip time!

Description:
Walked down the back about 400m, to a peak with about 4 people out (nearer 40 on thepeak at baleal). The guys out were a small group with a surf school, not getting many waves - and after a while they went in - so i surfed the peak alone for about 45 minutes until I had enough. The peak was working well, went both left and right, with som nice sized faces on the take-offs whan the sets came through. Real fun

Description:
My friend and our families drove from Shonan to get some waves here. There were so many people in the water and they were so serious about their surfing. I was the only gaijin that I saw in the water, not many people were friendly towards me, everyone was riding the same equipment (6'1's or 6'2's) and just KOOKING it. I'm from Oz and it was a bit of a cultural shock compared to our Saturday morning sessions. Even my Japanese friend was a bit shocked about the rudeness but was having a laugh about it.
I can see the place has potential though. After about 2 hours the crowd on the right got up to at least 100+ so we went for a paddle to see what was on the other side of the tetras, and there was a knee high left running down the tetras for about 50-60 metres - GOLD! - and only a learner guy and his chick on a boog, smiling and happy. Compared to the tryhards on the other side it was unreal - i'd love to see how they'd go in real surf grrrr.
Anyway, thanks to the learner guy and his chick, getting away from the crowd made our visit there totally cool. I'll be back if there is swell - but if there's no swell....well?

Description:
I have to come back home before the tide was perfect, so I went for a new session. It was not as good as the morning but I caught some funny little waves. At the end I was so exhausted that I get a lot of wipe outs.
Some of my friends stayed at the beach and they have scored an epic session 2 hours later.

Description:
How can I describe this session ? It was just perfect: a hollow left, powerful and tubular but not too fast. It's not often at Gironde. I took my first wave, a solid 1.5m, a long bottom then I brake down right in large tube...
We were only 5. Then I take a lot of beautiful waves with a lot of tubes. I scored 3 litlle tubes on the same wave !
Then, as it was a good sand bank, a lot of locals came: we were 25 at the peak ! But the atmosphere stayed pretty cool.
Thank you cylone Bertha!
it didn't close out: it was a beautifil tube...
"Ahhh ahhh aaaah" that's what I sayed when I arrived at the spot

Description:
The swell, as predicted has dropped off a lot, set waves were just about holding on a peak mid way down the beach. The wind felt the same as yesterday, but was messing up the waves much more. Caught a few waves, all mush burgers. Then moved down about 100m and sat on a small inside area catching 'reforms' (except there was no outside wave). Lots of take-off practice - all ending very quickly, grab rail into a close-out. Still, its good preactice for the weakest part of my surfing, the quick take-off.
Smaller surf forecast for tomorrow - my look and see if low tide will be better.

Description:
A mix of big southern hemi S ground swell with just a trace of fading NW wind swell and a slight, but building SSE swell from Hurricane Fausto! Super clean conditions for the dawn patrol, with just a light offshore wind and glassy peaks, after a weekend of lumpy, bumpy, 'June Gloom' conditions from the dreaded 'Catalina Eddy'.
Inconsistent, chest to head high with an occasional monster set, a little walled out, but pick the right wave and your really flying down the line, a pumping and a thumping!
Most amazing thing was there were only four of us (with the clean conditions the hordes must have gone to Bolsa Chica) lined up in the suck-up off the sea wall, of course you still had to negotiate the slalom course of lid heads and shortboarders sitting on the inside sandbar. (I hate people who just sit there, or paddle for the shoulder, right into your sights, as you come screaming out of the bowl.)
Caught a ton of waves! Took off on a clean, smaller pier bowl, faded into the peak, quick top turn and a nice cheater five all the way across the inside sandbar. Most of the overhead sets were walled, so it was hard off the bottom and out, duck under the lip, then pump, pump, pump and out ... over the top before you got thumped!
Saw the end of the pier light up with a big set, so scratched hard out to sea, let the first three go, then a real monster came rolling in ... took off late, just as the suck up kicked in, went near vert and free fell down the face, seemed to take forever - I was praying hard the nose didn't pearl) made the drop, hit the bottom and eased into a big carved turn onto the green ... what a rush ... that was about it, had to bail over the top before it closed out!
Well boys and girls ... that's it: time for a breakfast burrito, couple of Advill (aching all over) and a good nap ... all beat up!
Update: Ruby Tuesday
Must have caught 30 waves yesterday ate brecky, popped a couple of pain pills and passed out for 2 hours!
Alarm woke me up this morning at the usual 5:20 AM feeling very achy breaky but put in another 3 hours session. Not quite as big or clean as yesterday's classic waves but still outstanding!

Found a nice peak, surfed with Gabriel - who got a fin-bash on his tricep putting him out for a day or two. The waves were holding up nicely - and considering the quite strong breeze, the surface was glassy. The wind was up on the dunes not much on the water. Several fun lefts and rights and then one memorable left, that held up a face all the way to the beach, where I got slammed. had to stop after an hour to get back for dinner with the kids. Shame, could have stayed out another hour at least
