PRNW Forecast & Report of 2017-0123a

Caught some waves today... wish it could have gone on longer but the incoming tide was creating a bit of a current and knocking the wave size down by almost half, from 3rd reef to 2nd reef, where the current was even worse. Fun first one on a paddleout-quick-turnaround and angled takeoff, blazing fast.

Tomorrow looks to continue at about the same size and tempo, but also with continuing SW winds which isn't good as it affects southside Rincon.
