PRNW Forecast and Report of Sat, 2013-0112am

Up around dawn and in the water by 7:15am. My friend, Pio, paddled out about 10 minutes before me while I applied SPF and such. The waves appeared a bit mixed up very early but were shaping up as I paddled out for some nice 3-4 surf and some plus sets as the precursors to the swell on the way. For almost two hours it was just the two of us out for a very relaxing surfing and talking story time. Just after I caught my last wave in a couple of others were preparing to paddle out. Fetched some coffee and a couple of others were joining the crowd and then a car of 4 gringo shortboarders arrived and joined in the mix but mostly riding the inferior rights on the south side of the peak.

Sure wish I had brought my Vipers Orange Dots -- the Yellow Dots were a little stiff for my unconditioned legs and feet.

Post surf grinds: Pressed ham and cheese sandwich back at the villa.
