Flat Run Continues

And so it goes on. Aside from a significant bump in swell on Wednesday - that an 8am work commitment meant I had to let the pre-work session slide by - it's been basically flat or onshore. Stuck in the late Spring doldrums of East quadrant, onshore winds and weak, small swell.

This pattern seems to kick in every Spring as the weather systems dust off Winter, try to re-order themselves and t decide what they're going to wear for Summer. Will it be a set of matching solid NE swells? Or will it be a skimpy run of not much but weak wind swell (2010 followed this trend with plenty of desperate surfs in onshore waves, dodging packs of bluebottle jellyfish).

Only time will tell. In the meantime we're destined to watch the wave cams present us with dribbling shore breaks. The next best thing, which requires dusting off the Speedos, is an ocean swim. Flat days aren't so bad if you can still have the luxury of getting into the ocean somehow.

How's the surf in your part of the world as we shift seasons?
