“Cali” is not warm! Everyone thinks california is this hot metropolis. It’s ducking cold. It’s 6am and 47 degrees right now. 4/3 boots and a hoodie for me this morning. Crowds aren’t bad unless you go to blacks, windan, Ob/mb jetty, cliffs. I surf alone a lot. I give up quality of wave for that, but who cares. South mission beach is my fav place to be a surfer (at the moment)
