3.28.11 - Salty Goodness

Today, Jacob and I were finally able to get out for a dawn patrol session. We were going to go yesterday in SC, but I woke up with a horrible sore throat and headache. 

I almost decided to stay in my warm bed this morning instead of going surfing. I still have a sore throat, but no headache. Jacob said we had to go surfing because he had not been in the water for 2 weeks. I went last Tuesday, but the weather and winds took over the rest of the week.

We went to the Jetty and it was a little choppy at first. Throughout the session it cleaned up and was offshore by the time we left. I think the salt water rinse helped clear my throat and stuffed up nose, however the water was dirty due to all the rain. The waves were clean, fun and chest high.

In New England, we use to wait weeks on end for swell to get bigger than knee high so waiting for 2 weeks isn't that big of a deal for us. Now, it seems like we have to wait for swell to get smaller and less rough from the wind and storms. This past winter in CA we were blessed with beautiful swell so I am very grateful for all the waves!
