Description:

Walked down the road from La Jolla Farms Road around 7ish with Fabi, noticed a decent amount of cars already there for the Sunday morning hangover session, I wasn't this time around, but usually all the UCSD, USD, SDSU kids show up later due to their inability to shake the Saturday night cobwebs. Usually a bonus for taking it easy and getting there early but not to be this time around. Must be tax season coming up or something, everybody's chillin'. Got to the bottom and the surf was only breaking at Middles with a decent crowd on it already and it looked small and weak to boot. Figured we'd paddle out just north of the pack to get wet since we'd allocated this time and put forth the effort to walk down the cliff. Well, glad we did, cuz the tide kept dropping and the residual windswell/ groundswell kept jacking up more and more. Actually had a surprising airdrop to speedy roundhouse wave right off the bat. Session continued to improve and I managed to get a lot of racy lefts, nothing big, but definitely fun shoulder high waves. The crowd kinda jumped from nothing to everybody and their mommas by 9'er and by then we had kinda made the most of the slightly inconsistent, dropping surf. One wave in particular made me realize it is still possible to get yer ass handed to you on small days like this one, especially at Blacks just cuz it throws so much. I air dropped super late into a head high wave, saw a guy paddling back out as I dropped in looking at me in amusement, actually pulled the drop only to get clipped by the lip trying to race around the section. Basically, I got thrown like a lawn dart full on yard sale style about 5 feet out in front of the wave, head dipped, board tryed to hit me mid flight, got rolled three times under water, wave tryed to push me into my board again under water, and then I came up fully realizing how bad I just got worked but actually felt revived and ready for more. Must have been the cold water submersion or something. Anyways, great sesh despite all the kooks and wannabees cluttering the line-up like buoys. Seriously, out of the 100 people that were out by the end, only about 20 of them were actually catching waves consistently. Can you say "bouys"........

Description:

After starting out on Makaha it was much easier for me to catch waves here at La Pampilla. They were a bit bigger and there were more of them. It's less crowded too. But still plenty of people out in the waves.

The rocks here are much smaller (but still rounded) than Makaha. So I had some problems with them getting into my fins and causing some nasty bruises on the bottoms of my feet. It's also a decent swim out to the waves (for a beginner/intermediate), but nothing too tough. You can swim out in the middle where the water heads back out to the sea. Then the waves are on the sides near the rocky points.

I had a blast here and didn't want to stop. My fins were rubbing me a bit though. When I finally did stop and get out of the water I found that my fins had rubbed all the skin off of my inner ankles (size of a nuevo sol). I bought some fin socks after that adventure ;)

Whooo... I was waiting for this wave since several years as I am not living in Normandie. And here it is! I was coming back here just for few days. Good surprise: in middle of nowhere, in a land of powerless waves, this wave is a serious reefbreak ! Hollow and fast, on big days it's better for bodyboarders than surfers. If you take-off, then it's a long fun wall. As the landscape is incredible, it will be a good memories.

Good wall and a very technical wave

Bodyboarders get crazy on this...

Surfed South peak with Marc all to ourselves with about 12 other people clustered @ Middles. Although slightly less consistent where we were sitting, it paid off once the tide started filling in off the dead low of 0.49 from 5:38 a.m. I definitely scored some racetrack lefts perfect for cutties and whack-em's before the tide and "Dudediego" filed into the lineup come 7ish. Marc had a few fun rights I belive as well. All in all, a fun session!

Bud Bud was big and not tender... with a very high tide coefficient, the waves were irregular and not as hollow as usual. take off was critical and the shoulder looked biiiiiiig from the inside but it was hard to catch. and with cold water, which means numb body, i only managed to ride a few waves, i couldn't get a move done with the MS5.

Still can't complain...

Description:

First and only session at Gas Chambers. I was told this place doesn't break consistantly and I'm not sure because it was good the only time I went there. The only problems are the rude Puerto Rican body boarders. They display no courtesy or etiquitte in the lineup. They will take off on you and purposly cause the wave to section off if possible. I'm sure they'll be happy to hear this, but I probably won't be going back because of the spongers rudeness in the lineup.

Had fun though and my coach Josh Wilson caught a few good ones.

Description:

This was my first trip to Playa Norte. I was a bit of a beginner, but was looking for some larger waves than some of those found on Costa Verde. I had trouble catching small waves in Costa Verde, but when I got to Playa Norte, I was catching them with ease and loving it.

There's a lot of rocks on both the north and south sides. This day there was no one on the south side. But a good 10-15 people on the north side. The shore break for bodyboarding was pretty decent (sand in the middle, but a few semi-hidden rocks on the sides), but the better waves were north a little more near the rocks and breaking right.

The arena is pretty private and quiet. The beach area is small and the local residents/renters use a lot of the space w/ their umbrellas and such. No food or services available other than a guy walking around selling ice cream. Beach is sand wish scattered large rocks. Nicely developed area though with a boardwalk type area (cement) and a number of apartments overlooking the beach.

CasaBarco hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the beach and was really great. Shower in the entrance to clean sand off of yourself and board. Food is so-so, but good for the arena.

There were quite a few Brazillian surfers and some other international visitors. The people were really nice and the area seemed very safe. I parked my car on the street outside the hotel for a week w/ no problems.

Anyhow, this day was fantastic for me, the best of the summer. I did end up with a small cut on my foot and leg from the shells on the rocks. Very superficial though. I saw a couple Brazillian guys with some much bigger cuts on their feet. Booties recommended due to this.

The end of the wind-swell, finally has some shape and quality... but no size. Lots of sitting around for not much action. Still, fun little rides when the 'sets' came through.

Description:

The wind had dropped off some, but the waves were still a big mess, with a very short period. Even though they were small, I (in my totally unfit way) really struggled to get out across the bar. Then it was a case of picking ones that weren't just going to close out.

Description:

Very windy day - with this generating some small wind-chop waves. Kitesurfers were having a blast a bit further up the beach. The wind did not let up all day, and was howling in from the SW. Surfing just behind the marina gave a little shelter from the wind. Should be better tomorrow if the swell holds.
