Went back to River Jetties for the morning session. South wind was blowing, didn't think there would be a crowd, but there was. Waves were fun though, gray and gloomy but some fun ones. Surfed on south end of the rivermouth, right at edge of crowd. Had a really good time. Wouldn't ya know, crowd thinned out and skies cleared, got really good, clean. Didn't surf too good though, only a few

Good waves today. Surded River jetties in the morning, about 9:30. Sunny and REALLY CROWDED. Waves were good here, definitely the call, and people knew about it. So many pros, shoulder to shoulder in front of the river. Head high peaks, punchy, really fun. Crowd thinned out as session went on, so I stayed out for quite a while. Got some fun ones, nothing great, but a good day over all.

Really bad day of surf. Worked so hard all day studying for my advancement, came home and just wanted to blow off some steam. Waves didn't look good, but not bad either. Went to Southside at around 5 PM b.c tide was kinda high. Just wasn't good at all, really windswelly, peaks that didn't hold up. Got like one decent wave...that's it.

Snuck out there for a few waves on a Sunday afternoon. It was windy, but Cam was sleeping and I was pumped to get acouple. North wind so went to Southside. It was actually kinda fun but my stomach was soooo messed up. I was really nauseous. Not many people out but some really nice chest-head waves coming through. Got a few fun ones but had to go in after 45 minutes to poop....ha ha.

Really good waves today. Worked all morning, went to a bunch of meetings and got a lot done. Saw on the cams it was still clean, so bailed and got in the water just after 2 PM. So clean, surfed out front. HOt day, beach was packed, but not many people surfing. Kinda solid, head high, peaky lines. Paddled out at dead low tide, which was nice cause it was still a little mushy, so it made it stand up a bit. Got some really fun rights and lefts. Water was soooo warm, gotta be 5 degrees warmer than yesterday. All in all, great success, so lucky to have such great conditions on an afternoon with hardly anyone out.

Went back to River Jetties, this time a little later than yesterday. Tide was high so I went and got a cup of coffee, fired off a few emails after I dropped Cam off. Really beautiful day, just so sunny and hot. Parking was tough but I got lucky (pass was in Dianna's car). So clean, smaller than yesterday, but still peaky and fun with chest high sets. Started off in front of the river, drifted south towards 54th, then paddled back to the river again. Got a bunch of pretty darn fun rights, kinda felt it on a few, but couldn't go left to save my life. Surfed for quite a while...fun day. Kinda crowded, but lots of room around me for some reason.

Surfed River Jetties this morning. Didn't feel too dirty, but it did rain a few days ago, oh well let's hope for the best. Surf was super clean, peaky ,mostly from the W. Looked OK from bridge and not crowded at all so I gave it a try. Was cloudy when I paddled out with only 1 other guy in front of the river...much larger crowd @ north jetty. Turned out to be pretty fun but hard to find the good ones, about chest high on sets. The local brunch club paddled out and crowded things a bit...about 8 50+ year olds that surfed surprisingly well, you could tell that this has been their spot since about 1970, kinda aggressive and kinda annoying. Didn't ruin my fun, though. Ended up being a beautiful sunny, wish I coulda stayed out longer.
