NW CR Forecast and Report, Thu, 2013-0411am

Great welcome surf yesterday. My first wave was a chiropractic drop and ride with several cutbacks. Each one felt it up and down the spine! This morning a south swell is showing but very low tide.


Report: We hit the incoming tide around 2pm, surfing Inside-Outsides Wash (northside of the Rock). Biggest we had ever surfed this spot. There would be 6+ foot swells rolling through and then you were thunder on the outside as a wave was breaking in the El Centro area rolling in and reforming large waves. Guess the small ones were 6-ft but mostly in the 8 to 10 ft and some 12-footers. Sure seemed 2x o/h. The drops were insane having that Shipsterns quality. Some very memorable wipe-outs/separations from the board when least expected from the bump. Today (Friday morning) my body is feeling it from head-to-toe.
