NW CR Forecast & Report of Thu, 2013-0418a

Morning Report: The youngsters hit the water around 6:15a, Rick and I followed about half an hour later after a needed cup of coffee. Conditions were perfect with light offshores and mostly glassy conditions. Waves were about 4-5 feet with bigger peaks at the primo spots around The Rock. Classic Wash conditions... long rides with fast cutbacks into the curl and again for racing down the wall section, cut back.... and an occasional tube on the shallow inside. Rick paddled over to check out Rodrigo's Rocas where I had been catching a few. I suggested he look beneath him at the rock formations... he vamoosed quickly ;) Everyone was rather wasted after two hours of non-stop surfing. But feeling bien suavecito.

Post-session grinds: two eggs, gallo pinto and bacon fritos. Y mucha agua y cafe.

Moses, Beth and Sue arrive this afternoon. Moses was on a long, long trip originating in G-land with a one night layover in Bali.
