Time: 8am

Tide: Still way low, both reefs exposed, rising

Crew: The Dad, The Brit

Size: 9-10 foot swells. Long period. More inconsistent as the tide rose.

Vibe: Longboarders who can’t surf. Lots of spongers at Wind’n’Sea.

Ride: This was the tail end of the swell which meant biggers waves, but fewer of them. We had to go way outside to catch the bigger stuff. The Brit discovered a fast left into the rocks which is a first for Rockview — couldn’t catch it — IE: REEF. Long rights to be had, but as the tide rose and filled the bay, the big sets flattened out.
