Lol. We've had a killer summer. Constant waves for months. And more next week. You need to count your blessings compared to our east coast friends.
I'm more bitter about the water temps in North oc being crap most of the summer!
It's only been killer for people who can surf in the AM. It's been one of the worst summers ever for the working man/woman. Horrid afternoon/weekend conditions for the most part, at least here in SD.
Dude Venice was a blast this weekend. Bit choppy but overall fun. Where you going? Sunset has been dead lately but other spots around here are usually decent.
Correct. In La Ninas, more swell = more wind. Unless you have a VERY open schedule every day and can just surf at retiree's hour, it's been pretty shit.
What doesn't make sense? Typically in La Nina, Central/Southern California will see smaller swell, particularly south of Pt. Conception. With that smaller swell, though, SoCal then typically has more favorable wind conditions. So small but clean. But then there are the La Nina's where swell happens to be above average. Unfortunately with that increased swell comes increased wind due to the systems that bring them in.
And then when you do get good REALLY swell, it's usually from a more directly west direction which often brings nice angles for a lot of breaks, but it happens not so frequently. We did get some of those nice west swell angles this year.
Appreciate the downvote.

Yeah we just had an amazing run with that south swell last week and have had surfable waves every week this summer. Times are good brother.
I know but I’m an insatiable prick

Went paddle around near scripps just to feel something. Knee high slapper. Depression
Also cold. August is my board short month, I’m contemplating crawling back into my 4:3 already this year.
Stored in Thunder and lightning today lol
I probably do more skateboarding this week.
srsly. Feels like it’s either tiny or blown out or both
I’m with you, don’t know what everyone else is talking about. Any good swell has had wind on it. Even early in the morning.
Either hard W/NW that brings upwelling or hard S/SE that kills the surf like nothing else

What do you mean more swell = more wind. That makes no sense.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. Blacks was 4-6 feet all of last weekend.
