Unlike yesterday when the Papagayos started up lightly and increased throughout the morning into the early afternoon it was the Pupugayos that followed that time track. Plenty of swell in the water but it was tiring to paddle against the wind and the chop and the waves were increasingly blown-out. Three of the boys walked up to Turtleheads -- Griz didn't paddleout because there were already 8 people on it and the waves were not holding very good form (wind was not as much a factor).

Forecast Outlook:
TUESDAY:
Old SW swell fades as new SSW swell slowly joins in for mainly
waist-chest high waves. Small NW swell mixes in at exposures. Peaky at
combo beach breaks.
WEDNESDAY: More SSW swell with waist-head high waves at exposures. Small
NW swell holds at exposures. Fun peaks at combo beach breaks.
SHORT TERM FORECAST (Through Thursday, March 13th)
Highlights: More Southern Hemi swell and some NW groundswell for best exposures.
South Pacific Swell/Surf: Old SW swell fades on Tuesday as
a new SSW swell (190-205) slowly fills in, for mainly waist-chest high
waves and some plus sets at the better breaks. The SSW swell peaks by
Wednesday for waist-head high surf at well exposed spots. By Thursday a
fresh round of long-period South swell begins to join in while the SSW
swell eases, setting up waist-shoulder high zone waves.
North Pacific Swell: Fairly consistent storm activity in
the North Pacific recently sent down a fun size NW swell for Tuesday and
Wednesday, with waist-chest high surf at well exposed breaks of North
CR, while standouts there see some better sets. Beach breaks that are
exposed to both the SW and WNW swells rolling in then should see some
really fun, crossed up peaks at times. The NW swell will be easing by
Thursday.
EXTENDED FORECAST (Friday, March 14th and beyond)
Highlights: More Southern Hemi and some NPAC NW swells for later in the week.
South Pacific Swell:
A storm off the south end of South America last week sent up a
long-period S swell (180-195) for this week. The fresh Southen Hemi
starts to show late Thursday then fills in on Friday for shoulder high
to a foot overhead zone surf at good exposures as top breaks see better
sets. Those waves hold on Saturday then slowly taper off by the end of
the weekend, still plenty of head high surf left for Sunday. The trend
towards dropping size then continues for the first part of next week.
