Counterpoint

Some argue that there has never been a better time to live in LA. There's a strong case to be made and a lot of J to be found.

At the same time, others might argue for someplace else where the water is still 80 degrees. Week two of a log alert that, so far, has gone largely unreported. Shhhh!

Chadrico makes his debut on Fox News

Obama made a great call yesterday when he decided to prohibit new offshore drilling in continental US waters (about time!). Detail on decision can be found here.

Not surprisingly, Fox News isn't thrilled with the decision and they asked me what we thought of the decision. Here's the clip.

It can't get worse

TUESDAY 11/30 FLAT	WEDNESDAY 12/01 VERY POOR	THURSDAY 12/02 FAIR	FRIDAY 12/03 POOR TO FAIR	SATURDAY 12/04 POOR
SURF: 1-2 ft ankle to knee high	SURF: 1-2 ft ankle to knee high	SURF: 2-3 ft + knee to chest high	SURF: 1-3 ft ankle to waist high	SURF: 1-2 ft ankle to knee high
Minimal NW and SW swells	Minimal NW and SW swells; New NW swell fills in over Wednesday night	New mid-period NW swell tops out; very small SW swell mixing in	Mix of easing mid-period NW swell and a very small SW swell	Minimal NW and SW swells; poor due to lack of size

 

I was struck by this forecast, there must be subtle differences in the shizer the Pacific Ocean is coughing up that only really dedicated surf forecasters can discern. For instance Flat, Very Poor, Poor to Fair and Poor all seem like shizer, but maybe there are subtle differences in what type of board you would take out…maybe?

Tan Bald Guy Talks to Pale Guy with Great Hair

If you have a minute this interview is worth listening to. I was surprised to here Slater on the Dan Patrick show, but the interview is great. Pay close attention to when he starts discussing some small waves that he was surfing a few days before the interview.

Logger eyes out Cali -almost

Thank God I was there... It was a beautiful Fall morning. Air temp 60s, water temp 60s and there appeared to be a log alert going on at El Porto in waist-3rd rib surf, unfortunately no photo was taken. After complaining for about 30 minutes consecutively Leon declared that he was not going to Surf in California this winter! I begged him that this was extreme and tried to convince him that people love surfing Cali in the winter and that with some adaptive equipment including a hood, gloves, booties and a 5/4, and Vaseline for his face he may be able to once again enjoy the glory that is California in the Fall! Likely dx FVS
Frozen Vagina Syndrome. Hopefully, he'll recover.

Flash Cobb

The term flash cobb is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.The term is generally not applied to events organized by public relations firms, protests, and publicity stunts.

Hello Igor

Log Alert!

Dume Alert

I just finished a 4 hour session at Dume with my neighbor. For the first hour we were the only ones out...until Laird paddled out and started dominating! That spot is pretty epic, and according to the guy I was surfing with some of the crotchett is gone, and has been replaced with families and overweight surfing professionals. All and all, A+ session

Buoy, Oh Buoy! This is Swell!

After years of virtual buoys and eye-balled surf sizing, Puerto Rico's North Shore is finally getting a buoy that will provide actual real-time wave data. This info should prove useful not only for forecasting, but also to figure out which spots might work best for a given swell. I guess it's time to dust off the wave log and start recording swell height, period and direction on those epic days.

A big shout out to Dr. Miguel Canals for bringing a surfer's perspective to this effort.

To make things even better, Canals is feng shui-ing a buoy off-shore of Rincón. It should be in place around Halloween. That's some seriously localized swell info on the horizon.

Check the San Juan Buoy

Say Wha?

Some ridiculous board riding from one of the masters of glide. The video title is a bit mysterious as even a French surf check would be unlikely to cover the distance from Lafiténia to J Bay. Then again...

The decline of western civilization... or at least Point Dume

Native Point Dume surfer and author Katie Arnoldi has watched her beachfront community turn from rural, board-and-batten enclave to haute bourgeois beach club, filled with yoga moms on SUPS. She is not amused.

Her latest novel, Point Dume, is a study of the place she knows like few others. She skewers a variety of Malibu archetypes, but saves much of her venom for the despoliation of the coastal foothills at the hands of Mexican drug cartels and residential developers.



Sounds like this could provide some insight into the step behavior found in and around Malibu. Then again, it could just be sour grapes. Probably worth eyeing.

Overstoke

Stoke can fuel the best of fires. Like cobbing, it almost always makes good things happen.


On the rare occasion, however, an overstoke can lead to some wayward eyes. Case in point: Steven Spielberg and George Lucas read John Milius's script for Big Wednesday and got so swept up that they traded points with Milius. They gave Milius points in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Star Wars for a piece of Big Wednesday.

Big Wednesday was a flop, and Close Encounters and Star Wars each grossed around $600 million."

Sweet eye for Milius who allegedly said that the loot "helped pay for his divorce."

The Joy of Coolers!

Wind & Sea Log Alert issued Saturday, March 28th.

Dry Run

Here you see Chad tuning up the young cobbs on quality mow and the importance of cooler hygiene.

Obviously there is something missing in this photo, but the strength coach still seems stoked.

Abe top-roping his first pitch. Obviously, he'll have some big shoes to fill as a climber following in my footsteps. Check the nonchalance of Sam, he reluctantly climbed with ropes and harness so that Abe would.

Chadrico and I took the boys for some dry land cobbing. Abe's first camping trip was a great success. After hours was chocked full of yucks, magnification, strength, and cold beer. As an aside, 2 days later I surfed overhead Zeroes on the first legitimate South of the summer. I have high hopes for the M2!

Hometown Hero

Check out this footage of the Gundo benevolent alpha dog chargin huge Porto on his log this winter. I think the most impressive part is the paddle out. This is something to aspire to...I think.

What's your tacoshed?

The maloguas love tacos. They are also responsible stewards of our environment and seek to minimize their impact on the planet and waves we so enjoy. As such, it's important to understand your "tacoshed". What is a tacoshed?

The tacoshed, much like a watershed, establishes the geographical boundaries of a taco’s origins—the source of everything from the corn in the tortilla to the tomatoes in the salsa.

Here's a nice example pulled together by some CCA students. The taco the group deconstructed for the illustrations below was from Juan’s Taco Truck in the city’s Mission District





Even a single taco is a window into the complexities of globalization.
