The swell that everyone has been talking about finally arrived yesterday with a nice boost this morning. Sets of shoulder-high waves were coming through Cowells at intervals of about 20 minutes, while smaller waves drummed up by north winds kept a mostly continuous stream of waves coming.
Most remarkable was the sparse Saturday dawn patrol crowd of mainly recognizeable locals glancing around at each other with expressions of surprise and satisfaction. You just never know. A count of 31 heads at dawn yesterday would, one would think, foretell at least twice that many for a Saturday morning low tide.
That didn't happen and the results were appreciated with whoops and hollers and happy faces. The sandbar is still hanging around, though ever shifting slightly and creating infinite possibilities.
Water temp above 60 degrees. Little wind. Marine layer helping to hold a steady, comfortable air temp.
A little bit of longboard heaven.
