Thursday looks to be good, if wet. Friday maybe the strongest w/off shores and nasty. Sat turning back S and maybe more doable.

Surfed this eve. Calm as a lake, clean little waves. The sunset was ridiculous.

Here's some forecast models of what I think will be the best times. The big barbs are 10 and little are 5. Not sure if it will be a soaker or not, maybe not too bad. Come and git it boyz and girlz

Yesterday's forecast sure looked good for some strapless goofy style.
What happened? How come they can't predict when the energy comes
to shore? I'd like to step up for it but I'm thinking a trip to Peru might be
easier than timing these systems.

Anyone want to buy a nice place in HR?

Nope. Lost voice turned into a cold and
my head feels like a balloon.

Thanks again for the hospitality.

Sorry if I brought those germs from the OSU game to your house.
Kim and I really enjoyed ourselves that whole weekend and Odis
really liked those cookies. Embarassed

Ok, Back on topic.

Let's hear you generous coasties give us the full low down on chasing
southerlies. Just weather. We'll find the spots on our own. That's
half the fun, right??

pre-frontal
before the rain
either that or put yer wetsuit on first
naw forget that

rain is no good ,unless desperate

usually before a front comes through
there is a period of no rain
that's what I look for
the period of the building wind
and if you have to ,you can de rig when it's raining

I have rarely got it good by trying to leave the valley and get it ,( predictors need more money for more accurate results?)

just come down and wait
once it starts raining anything can happen (mostly light wind)

not a forcast, at this point it's a schedule,

first wave of rain around 11 a.m, then a few hours of wtfe and wind
