Southwest

So I have been checking the forecast for the last couple of days to see a steady south west blowing. The wind data shows a fairly constant 25 to 30 knot south west for the last 24+ hours. So I was thinking that this would be enough to organize some ridable waves. In venturing out this morning I checked out several spots. The waves were up but just not really making shore, too much west I guess. Gnarly's was breaking fairly heavy, but beleive it or not O road was the second largest. I travelled on down the road hoping to find a more consistent rideable spot. Everything was sub epic to say the least. I travelled back to O road suited up and got wet. The wind was not blowing too much until I paddled out from the point. The current and wind was pretty much as it always is. Enough to catch maybe two rides and then walk the half kilometer back up the beach to paddle out again. Anyway, I did catch a few waves, not the best mind you but bigger than any of the other spots. It was almost tropical out there today. The temps were hovering above 0c and the sun was warm and shining without a cloud in the sky. The ice was melting off of the rocks on the shoreline and the water wasn't really even cold. Almost made me want to get the swim trunks out early, almost. All in all a beautiful day, even if the surf was windy and full of current. check out the pics below from the days adventure.
