PRNW Forecast & Report of 2017-0121a

Felt good to paddle out again! Coming around a bend approaching the break I was surprised to see white water rolling in a couple of places... bigger than expected? Yup. PdP looked nice, fairly clean and breaking on the 3rd reef. Saw about 4 people out the Slopes. Later on after my morning was done, I observed nothing much happening at Lil Teapou (nobody out) and a bodyboarder and a foot surfer out at TdlR which was small and not big enough to break cleanly from second peak through the third peak bowl.

Looks like surf for rest of the trip.

Now it is time to prepare for my IAU Escuelita Mini-Reunion.
