Surf updates

I am curious as to where everyone gets their surf updates – I check two sites for the wave forecast, CDIP – Scripps Pier Wave Forecast and then Surfline as well as the BWE web cam and the Surfline webcam. It’s strange how two different sites can be so opposite in their forecast. Example – CDIP states forecasts this Sat btwn 2-4ft at Scripps Pier and Surfline forecasts La Jolla Shores and Scripps Pier 5 – 7ft. That’s a big variance…and big surf (guess I’ll be hitting up NP or DP this weeked)!
Then there are the times when I check the cams and it looks relatively flat, but when I get down there, the sets are gianormous! That’s when I just turn the truck around and grab a breakfast burrito for the drive home!

I check out NOAA link under the La JOlla Webcam and Surfline (requires membership for extended forecast)

http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/sgx/display_...id=SGX&pil=CWF

Magic Seaweed is a free way to check the forecast also

hope this helps

Ahh, my fat ass broke the buckle on the PA seat! I'll bring the Revo! Maybe I'll see you out there and some of your good luck fishing will rub off on me! Maybe its your new Revo that's bringing you all the fish?

I'd meet up with you but I'm off to the heat of Palm springs this weekend. My buddy Steve is taking out his PA on Sunday morning.

Surf Forecast

May favorite has to be wetsand.com They give free extended surf forecasts and are usually at least in the ball park.

Hey, Roger!

I broke my seat strap buckle twice since April. They have fixed it both times so far under warranty.

Good luck on the fishing! I'm going camping this weekend to give the Avion 25' trailer a maiden voyage and might get in some freshwater fishing.

Adios

surf update

It's flat at the launch. The south facing reefs are pulling in a nice SSW swell running 4-5' and it looks to be building. Be careful fishing the boilers.
