Surf surf, I want surf - Alright already, its September. Where are my September swells? Bring on Autumn.

Not too shabby - Saturday was a mellow 1-3 faces with solid offshores. Sort of resembling mini wikiki. Stayed offshore until 1:00 pm, then the winds finally switched. Fun until then though. Small waves and warm water brought all the barnies out.

Best in Years - This last weeks combo storm SW windswell and wnw ground swell gave perfect waves on the southside of Hb pier. The best and biggest/cleanest waves.
A small pack was out only, Slo Dog, Murf, Mikey, Tree and a few dorks who couldn't handle the size. Solid overhead and thick perfect shacks from 10th street all the way to the pier. Unforgetable.
