PRNW Forecast & Report of Thu, 2016-0114a

Did not surf yesterday although reports for PdP were good. This morning I was suiting up at the beach at 7:15a, my two buddies and another guy I know were already in the water. First hour the bomb 5-7 ft bomb sets were coming through. Caught one for my best ride of the trip. Second hour the surf declined to 4-5 ft. The current was heavy so after two more rides I was done. Time for coffee!
