CRNW Forecast and Report, Thu, 2015-0319 afternoon

Report to Follow.  On shore winds and spring tides just past noon, when it was time to paddle out, making it a little sloppy today. Water was warmer. Lots of water currents moving around. Spent about as much energy in 1.5 hours as yesterday's 3-hr session and only 10 percent as many rides. Seemed like a mix of 6 sec, 9 sec and 14 sec swells. Still fun to get wet :) And David and I did catch some good ones. 

A chap on a bodyboard appeared late in the session... we pointed out some of the rock features and currents. He followed me in about 10 minutes later after I caught my last wave of the day. "Johnny Utah" is from Nebraska, no leash and wearing Cressi snorkling swim fins. He could have been in a heap of trouble!
