Wow! Trip ending is getting near and it will be back in the frigid north with cold rain, sleet and snow. ¡No me gusta!

Today was a bit of redemption for me. Checked out PdP and TdlR and another spot and then decided none of them were really for me. Nobody out at PdP and a couple were out below Little Teapoo and about 5 or 6 at TdlR, but I was not ready for another working. Best to check out IcyH's since it was working so well yesterday. Good call. There was anything from 5 or so bodyboarders early on and about 4 or 5 shortboarders for the last hour or two. They were a real pain in the butt at times. But lots of waves and the current that kept us paddling regularly. I had several good rights with some hard cut backs and solid re-entries. The bodyboarding crew was ripping it up as usual, including Edwin. Met a guy Mike, from Indiana, that came down here to sell motorized bicycles. He picked up bodyboarding to shoot videos with one of those video recorders.

Waves were in the 3 to 7 foot range, nice glassy and semi-glassy conditions. The inside sections were smoking hot.

Today was not a good day to die after all.

Paddled out to TdlR, joining 3 shortboarders and a fishrider. The waves looked a bit unpredictable today so I decided to hang close to the bowl. The shortboarders were picking off some good ones here and there before the wave sectioned. I caught two waves near the bowl and was promptly thrashed but good. After the second one, deciding it was just too dicey a day for this old chap, paddling in was the right call.

Jim Crotty says he shot a couple of pics to document my thorough humiliation... maybe I can crop them and send them to some sponsors!

Checked out IceyH's on the drive home and saw Edwin and some of the local boys out there. That would have been the right call this morning. The wind was starting to pick up so I didn't paddle out.

Been sustaining some serious nose draining since being ejected! Tomorrow should be more moderate and better suited to El Viejo Paipoista.

No forecast yesterday as Buoyweather was down for maintenace -- it was flat as it is this morning. Late today a new swell rolls in and tomorrow should be good if the wind permits. I am optimistic about that! Looks like a good 2-day swell is on tap with some small leftovers the following day.

West coast is utterly flat. There is some small swell along the north coast.
No trip for me today due to some sleep issues over night (phone calls at 2am, etc.).
Doesn't look like I am missing much today, but the next two days will be even
smaller. Time to think about alternative day plans. There is an outside chance of
some mini-swell tomorrow morning.... better give that a shot!

Very chiquito along the west coast today... did not paddle out. My one spot
had a strong sideshore current working and the wind was hitting already in the
early morning. Trip up to north coast tomorrow.

For various and sundry reasons I did not DP today. Resume full range of surf
activities tomorrow morning. Looks like some swell hitting the area beaches the
next two days; however, a trip up north may be the call on Thur.

Translucent pearls shooting me left this morning. Water nice and clear on
the shallow reef. Funny thing is that I almost didn't paddle out this morning,
but slapped myself and said, "¡Mete!" Shared waves with a bodyboarder for about
two hours. The first hour was like a machine with perfect head high waves; the second
hour was less consistent with 3 to 4 footers, but still semi-glassy... and, we had
it all to ourselves :)

The next few days should continue to deliver some waves before the forecast
of flatness (but that can change!).

Checked a few of the usual locations, including yesterday's IcyH's where a number
of the local boys were preparing to paddle out. Drove back to check and opted for
TdlR where Walter was preparing to paddleout. Good call. Caught my two best waves
of the trip. Watch a lot of punch at this reef! Also caught my first bona fide
tube ride on a nice head high wave. My guess was that the larger waves were running
from 4 to 7 foot although those sets were spaced out by 10 to 20 minutes, but well
worth it.

My best session of the trip this morning with glassy 3 to 6 foot waves at
one of the spots I had not ridden in a few years (near the icy Heineken colmado).

Checked my regular first spot where the waves looked very funky doubling
up. Then checked Little Teapoo where it wasn't quite catching the swell. A
local boy told me he had checked IcyH and suggested we go there and so we
did. Good call.

Looks like waves the next several days.

Post Session Grinds: Usual sandwich at the usual place for me and I bought
my wife two pasteles and arroz amarillos.

Basically flat today and a good chance to sleep-in and fight this nasty cough
away. Good day for a beach walk! Tomorrow brings swell :)

Never made it up to Wilderness today... didn't make it out the front door.
This cold has been slamming me in the most unpredictable ways. Last night
it was coughing and hacking for two hours, until at 2am. Felt like crap
when the alarm went off at 6:15am. Could have driven north but not so sure
the trip back would have been good.

Tomorrow looks flat but the day after finally shows some swell with a bit of
W in it.

Some of my usual spots just were not catching this morning's swell very
well so I paddled out at Maria's, despite the crowds. Wow is it every crowded
there these days! Every body takes off... reminds me of Indian River
Inlet Northside. Needing more W is some of these N swells, or bigger swells.

Water was warm as was the air. It was good to paddle out at Maria's and
pay my respects to Doña Maria.

Tomorrow looks like a trip to Wilderness day.

Hit the water at PdP shortly after 7am. Conditions didn't look great, 3 to 5 surf, but a funky mix of windswell and ground swell. Surfed alone for about an hour -- didn't catch any good waves/rides. Saw some of the local guys checking in out when I caught my last wave in on a closeout right. Talked story with the 5 local bodyboarders before they all lined up to do stretching exercises - that was a real hoot!

Grabbed some coffee and paddled out for another round. Did better this time but given the 7 of us out there and rather inconsistent waves I didn't catch many. A couple of those guys have the break so dialed in and are in much better shape than me. Let that be a lesson!

Post session grinds: Ham, egg and cheese sandwich.

Swell really had not started filling in this morning. Guess there is
still too much north in it and Wilderness would have been the spot to
visit. Looked like too much west at some spots. Maria's was flat and Domes
was mobbed. Maybe I will check out the surf this afternoon. The week's
forecast shows waves everyday and 2x o/h on Jan 16th late day.

Did not surf today due to continuing hacking cough & cold. Conditions should
have been nice with very light winds.

This morning was a beautiful waist to chest wth clear water over a shallow reef.
As the sun rose the white water sparkled afire up and down the coast. Surfed
solo for the first 1.5 hrs before a local friend showed up and about a half hour
later another local boy. What a good way to start catching my first waves of
the trip! Light current, blue skies, water in air around mid-70s.

Looks like some solid swell on the way. Hope the winds stay offshore.

Post session grinds: cafe con leche and a jamon, huevo y queso sandwich on
criollo bread.

Not sure how the surf was this morning as my cold and cough
flared up overnight resulting in marginal sleep. I will catch
up with the swell tomorrow morning.
