Hello Friends,
Just another little postcard for ya from sunny southern California. Sounds like our weather’s not dissimilar to Sydney’s. “Surf” seems a pretty close match as well. A couple pals and I would not be put off, so we grabbed longboards and headed down to Rincon. Only three people in the water when we got there – for very good reason. Sets were struggling to get into the knee high range. But, as with places like the Pass, even when it’s really small, you can catch and ride them for a really long way. I reckon the critical part on my average wave was a zone about 10cm from top to bottom. If you could set the rail in there, your plank would just slide along smoothly. Turn off the line even slightly and you’d be sinking out or getting caught behind.
Water was really warm for here. Probably around the 18-20C mark and air temps were around 25. It was the first time I’ve been on a mal in awhile and it was a hoot. Anyway, here are a few snaps…
