Mixed-up Patios

Spring Day

The Same Spring Day

The big swell showed up kinda sloppy, but by the late afternoon, the swell looked a bit more organized. The pictures show the big swell at mid-day. By the next day, the swell had dropped to a point where the bottom contours had something to work with. Still, the swell had a lot of west in it, so there were more closeouts than usual. And of course, Easter Break broke. It was pretty crowded after the big swell – with the masses continuing to migrate all week. Yesterday I counted over 1,000 feet of LB in the water at Tiburones. For my part, I surfed a few sessions at Sharks – Patios was way too crowded. I surfed at low tide while the wind was topping; still didn’t cut the crowd as much as I would have liked, A couple of the set waves were kelpy and the water was frigid – but I had fun. Today was small, windy, and crowded. I would have gone out, but the crowd-restricted wave count and water chill convinced me I was better off doing something else. Even still – it was a beautiful day – picture perfect.
