More surf continuing and then gradually declining through the week with a new swell on the way on April 21st. Good for Terry and I!
Rick and I paddled out around 2:30p into the beast of the new swell arrival. It was wild and woolly out there to say the least. Sets were coming in groups of 20 waves it seemed with only minor lulls between sets. Seemed somewhat disorganized for a swell that traveled thousands of miles. We each took a couple of good ones on the head -- that wasn't too bad. However, the currents were moving this way and that and there was tons of water making the tide very full. Don't try catching the 1st or 2nd wave... wait for the 3rd or 4th was the watchword. We each caught one good one and then rode one in.
