CRNW Forecast & Report, Fri, 2015-0313noon

Yesterday afternoon report: Did not surf due to the late high tide and strong Papagayos.

This morning's report: Overnight and at 6am when we ventured out to the bluff for ocean viewing and assessment with fresh coffees in hand the Papagayos were still blowing fiercely. In hope that they would diminish with the rising sun I decided to sit it out for awhile and make it a 2-cup early morning. Around 7:30a, David and I detected a change in conditions, and by 8am were in the water (high tide was around 730a give or take a quarter hour). The other two boys walked down the beach. We caught tons of waves as they were breaking on a good consistent pace and easy to catch at The Wash, with the riding waves in the 4 to 5 ft range but packing good energy. The offshores changed to mostly ESE so there was less spray in our eyes. The waves we were riidng were mostly the reforms of 8-10 ft waves breaking around the Rock Southside or the Lil 'Moana rock line.

Bonzer paipo fin sea trials.  The knubster sidebites continue to perform very well. I can feel them doing their magic in concert with the small Bonzer runners as the rear fins and the 4.5" center fin.

Post-session grinds: Huevos, gallo pinto, y mucha agua con hielo.
