Seaside 1/27/12

I surfed Seaside which, is located in Soloana Beach CA twice on Friday. In the morning it was near perfect conditions as it was a medium rising tide and glassy. The surf was well overhead with solid 8-10ft faces on some of the set waves. As good as the conditions were, it was not too crowded and I was able to get some waves. When the tide peaked at 4ft at 11am the surf just about quit on us, it was impossible to paddle into a wave because it was hardly breaking. My friends and I decided to get out and eat and go buy some new surfboards from our shaper. The swell was dying throughout the day but we decided to go for an evening surf and it was a blast. It was only 3-5ft but definitely worth paddling out. Can't wait to go surf down there again when the next big swell hits.

The picture I'm posting was just a quick snapshot because I was too stoked to go surf. I didn't want to wait around for a set wave and miss out.

Today we left Azusa at 6:00 am to go surf Redondo Beach at a spot called Burnouts. The waves were a solid 6ft but mainly walled up and closing out. There were some massive closeout barrels in which, one of my friends snapped his board in half. There was a 5.5ft high tide this morning at 10:00 so shortly after we paddled out the waves began to slow down. The swell is supposed be building the rest of the week and peaking on Friday. I will head out and surf San Diego most likely.
