Whitecaps, Windstorms & Wasted Time


N WIND 15 KT WITH GUSTS TO 20 KT. WIND WAVES 2 FT. NW SWELL 4 FT AT 6 SECONDS.
4 feet at 6 seconds...
Not on the central coast...
Or north coast for that matter...
Had some business in Eugene...
So headed over to Florence for a look...
Nope...
Briefly considered a southern foray...
But 30 knot winds...
Whitecaps to the horizon...
And a 1 foot swell...
Put the kabosh on that...
So headed north...
Checked a 1/2 dozen spots...
Nope the 6th power...
On each and everyone...
Final spot the only one...
With protection from the north wind...
Yielded tiny but smooth shin to knee highs...
That ended in shin to knee deep water...
Not a great surf day...
But felt good to get wet...
After 300 miles on the road.
