NW CR Forecast & Report of Tue, 2013-0416a

Report: The 3 amigos and DaGriz paddled out shortly after 6am. Griz caught a nice long ride working it into the steep punchy inside section. Brett caught one of those as well. High tide was around 7am and light offshores were present. After a cup of coffee, Rick and I geared up and were at the peak by 7am. Rick and I proceeded to catch wave after wave on the northside of the Rock and with longer lines prevailing with cutbacks and nice reforms. Guess the boys finished up their sessions one by one starting around 730-8... Rick and I stayed out until 9:30a, and the waves kept improving until the past half hour when the consistency backed off a little. I was "tired" after each ride! Nice long rides with great drops and working the progressive peaks and cutbacks and turning for the reformed wall again. Guess the surf was in the 4-8' range.

Grinds: Two eggs, gallo pinto and a fruit plate of papaya, pineapple, watermelon, cantelope and banana. And coffee and many glasses of ice water.
