Well, it was a cold one today. I decided to sleep in instead of waking up for the cold morning sesh. It was a weird swell direction yesterday (lots of north). I figured it would be more of the same today, except smaller and colder. That prediction turned out to be accurate I’m pretty sure. I didn’t make it down to the beach. It looks like the little swell held on for quite some time today, lasting well into the afternoon. We might get another good one before Xmas. We’ll have to wait and see. I haven’t checked the forecast. I image we could see our next good one right around Christmas time. I hope everyone is doing well today, and not freezing their doopies off. Go warm up if you were out there in the cold today, and have a great rest of your week.
