NorCal this weekend

Hope everyone is having a good week. Haven't been on here in the last couple with my hands very full with work. Been finding time to skate but haven't been able to step into liquid in almost two weeks as professional life comes first.

Out west through next week and this weekend has a big pulse that's upon us here. Wanted to get the input of the CA guys, especially those with NorCal knowledge, since this swell is fairly dynamic and not too straightforward.

OBSF and the breaks around here look to have a solid WNW swell of good size for most of the weekend but onshores that may surpsass high single digits into the teens. Tomorrow late morning through the night shows a S-SSW pulse that's super long period at 20s or more. I saw that a week out and kept my eye on it. Changes back to WNW short period on Sunday with not great winds so I'm not feeling that.

Meanwhile, Santa Cruz is showing straight S swell today through Tuesday with super-long period 20s today and staying consistently in high teens for period the next several days. Light offshores morning through mid-afternoon most of those days. One concern is getting down there tonight for sunset sesh with offshores 20+ mph. I've only hit Steamer's in my only trip there and had an unreal time a month ago but it was glassy as hell.

Any input you cats in the know can give is much appreciated. Ideally, looking to spend tonight and maybe Saturday night down in the SC area and surf as much as possible. Looking much more fun than all the winds and size up here in SF area.

If you've got helpful ideas, either list them here or feel free to PM.

Thanks buoys. Hope all of you score this weekend wherever you are and have a good weekend with friends and family.

 

Yeah bud, I'm gonna give you a thorough, wholesome and civil reply when you claim "no ball busting here" and then talking about how I "mouthed off on here".

My original post was sincere, to all of you, that I hope you're all having a good week and score this weekend if possible. Even you, cackedinri, despite the fact that you have not once posted to or about me without much vitriol.

Now please go read and reply to posts where you actually care about the content and have something to add, as you clearly don't here. The answer to your question can be found in posts earlier in the month on the forum.

 

CBSCREWBY thanks braddah. I don't pay much mind to those that seem miserably bored and unfulfilled with their own existences to care so much about mine. Thanks for the well wishes and hope you come back strong after the hiatus.

yank, preciate that and I'm stoked for good swell.

Thanks KR! That's all great info. As said, all I have charged before is Steamer. Ready to hit anything I need to. Tonight that south-facing bay sounds good you mention north of the bridge, but will it be ok with 27mph offshores? Never seen anything like that or heard of it out west during times of nice weather. That's EC winter/spring winds. Sunset is 7:30 so I'll definitely get a good evening sesh.

Yes, know well that there's tons of surf talent in SC on the reg and I enjoy seeing it. I'm extra cautious not to drop-in there in any way even on the far shoulder of a long peeler especially since guys there make long rides out of just about any wave.

Winds look pretty good most of the next couple days other than tonight in SC. Here's the report: http://www.swellinfo.com/surf-forecast/santa-cruz-california

What would you suggest for spots to hit tomorrow morning, afternoon and eve based on that?

Expecting to hit some good skate in SC as well. Been all over the NorCal parks lately and they transcend the ones out east. Working on moving towards the CX.4 on a traditional deck and less on the C7 truck on the stock Carver decks as I feel it's time to work in transition, better pool riding and maybe a bit of street into my Carver style.

Got a wahine coming with me to SC that could end up being a keeper of sorts. She tried the Carver the other night and was better on it first time than I've seen any dude be. Former stud collegiate athlete so maybe I can get her in the surf too. Any good suggestions on places to take her to eat and reasonably priced places to stay?

Hope you get some better weather up there and clean swell in OS. How's the place coming along?

 

Thanks for the input bud. I actually do check Surfline way more while out here and had already looked at it for SC this weekend. It says it should be dope all weekend and the WNW swell may sneak in a bit.

Am certainly ready to go hunting up and down the coast in SC to see what's working and not. Looking forward to it. Glad I have my 6'6 with me on this ride. Wish I had a pintail but small squash thruster should be fine.
