i don't want to hear it from those of you who think 35F is warm. that probably means you have central heat and it's 70F in your house. i woke up yesterday morning and i could see my breath in the...

omg i've dawn patrolled every day this week. i know the water is around 55F... but when the air temp is 35-38F, that is cold, no matter who you are or where you're from. it's probably important to...
rofl @ windansea being mellow... SD has so many options, but i'll just agree with everyone and suggest you go to blacks. there will be a crowd in the lineup but it's spread out with plenty of waves....
i've been in sandbridge since saturday, water is definitely murky and reddish/brown... but the waves have been fun, 1-3', consistent and peeling... small swell but non-stop with bigger sets and very...
most employers around here won't even talk to you unless you're a local candidate. try using a headhunter or recruiting firm for potential opportunities. if you have professional friends that is...
check around the wharf in santa cruz or ask inside the nor-cal surf shop in pacifica. if you're looking for an option in SF try mollusk surf shop in off lincoln or aqua off sloat... best way to learn...
swellinfo is accurate for sd county - actually underestimates most winter swells but then again the ob pier is a nw magnet. if you're in pasadena i'd recommend hb pier... just take 710 to 405 :cool:
i'll concur with most of those who've replied... travel, but expand your boundaries... southern california isn't all it's cracked up to be. sure, it's sunny and 70F again today, and the waves are...
yeah i can't see myself buying an alaia anytime soon... if i had the money i'd probably spend it on upgrading other equipment - rubber, fins, maybe a used stick... but i have nothing against them i...
i have a 5'4 x 18.75" x 2.25" disco and it's awesome. it really excels in small waves, fat waves, and mushy conditions. i live only a 5 minute drive from marcio's factory in old town SD so my quiver...
oh and if you're in encinitas, check the end of D street and north through moonlight beach. those are the best breaks in town imho. the whole san elijo area south of town is great too in the right...
i use 3/2 and boots for dawn patrol... 2/2 for any other time of day right now :cool:
lowers is awesome on souths but it's overcrowded, costs money to park, and it's a hike all the way to the lineup :cool:
by may, most of the energy in the ocean here is out of the south. hopefully you score one of the big, very long-period swells out of the south pacific because that means water temps in the high 60s...
ha. all the nugs we see here are homegrown by close friends not some mexicant or some candanian :cool:
water is ~60F and it feels like it is getting warmer, especially through the day. might be 58-59F during the darkest hours. a 3/2 in good condition will suffice for armor. sometimes boots :)
it's...
yeah use all the surf and weather resources you can and then make your own prediction, that usually works best :)
these northwests seem to really be blocked more up there in oc than down here in sd. it's always magnified a notch, sometimes two, on any kind of NW groundswell or those short-medium period WNW...
sweet! really glad to hear it :)
march sees its fair share of energy from both the southern and northern hemispheres. you'll want to be at a spot that is well exposed to both. most of southern california can churn out decent waves...
just check the south SD forecast here on swellinfo when it gets closer to your trip... it's pretty accurate except the last few winter NW's we've had it will say stomach-shoulder when it arrives here...
haha i smoke a lot... california trumps the east coast in tree too :D chances are the girl you bought your coffee from this morning or the guy walking his dog that you said hi to on the way back to...
sweet, i think i should be set then without having to go buy some new gear. good thing too because i just got a $65 parking ticket and a $272 stop sign ticket in the last month so i'm kind of broke...
hey i'll be in jersey with my ho for thanksgiving this year. i was in the outer banks for hurricanes danielle and earl this past summer, and i left one of my boards on the east coast. i'll probably...
awesome, thanks for the support! :D
