Instead I paddled out into clean, up-to head-high fairly hollow waves with only a few people out. Stoked!Here's the post-sesh pic. I surfed North side, but South side had a great right peeling off the jetty.Plenty of hollow rights coming through closer to the North jetty.The left coming off the CrookedHorizonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12779113045922271630noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093430968418610981.post-48578988929312492082009-01-18T15:43:00.000-08:002009-01-18T16:01:55.692-08:00Who knew swell forecasting was so difficult? This "huge" swell that was hyped by nearly all of the usual surf forecasting websites never amounted to much more than chest-high 'funnables.'This was one of the rare occasions when there was less than 10 people on a wave. Don't believe me? Look below...Taking this photo almost got me killed.

Still some fun ones at the reef. Tomorrow should be bigger.This dude caught quite a few. This is about as big as it got during the dawn-patrol sesh.This guy wasn't very good, but he sure caught his share.Clogged lineups up and down the coast.

I traded off with a buddy and we took turns trying to figure out how to use the damn thing. We didn't grab any wall-hangers, but I'm pretty pleased with our first attempt. There will be many more to come...Small knee-high mush was all we could find this day.J finds his way into a tiny left.Pretty empty CrookedHorizonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12779113045922271630noreply@blogger.com0
