Wavespresso


S WIND 5 TO 10 KT. WIND WAVES 2 FT. NW SWELL 3 FT AT 9 SECONDS.

Ever wonder what that brownish filth is...
That you encounter on occassion at Oregon breaks?
Well, here's the answer (and the article from inhabitat.com):

Wavespresso

Long story short...
Recent studies show that there are unusually high concentrations of coffee in the Pacific...
Especially off the coast of Oregon.
So next dawn patrol...
After pounding that venti latte...
Don't pee in your wetsuit.

Under the Knife


N WIND 10 TO 15 KT. WIND WAVES 3 FT. NW SWELL 10 FT AT 9 SECONDS.
Got the diagnosis today...
Got the Exostosis...
Earned it really...
90% blockage in the left ear...
80% blockage in the right...
40+ years of surfing...
About 20 of it Surf In Oregon...
Time to chip away bone...
And open up my good ear...
I already couldn't hear outta the right...
So I'm leaving that one alone...
Looks like the best case scenario is...
Out of the water 2 weeks or so...
Hopefully It'll be shitty...
But I have a feeling...
It'll be epic.

More Forests


S WIND 5 TO 10 KT. WIND WAVES 1 FOOT. W SWELL 8 FT AT 11 SECONDS.
With all the sand movement this winter...
More stumps on beaches revealed...
Where they've not been seen previously...
Lots of worry about the effect on breaks...
But all you can do is wait and see...
Not like you can stop the storms...
Some waves tonight, nothing special...
But better than the alternative.

Holstein

After heavy rains, the darnedest things wash up...
I actually had a cow float by me once at a south coast rivermouth break once...
It was unpleasant and unnerving.

The Office


SW WIND 30 TO 35 KT. COMBINED SEAS 14 FT DOMINANT PERIOD 12 SECONDS.
Another day spent...
Crunching numbers...
Writing schedules...
And herding cats...
Checked it AM & PM...
But it was KRAP both checks...
Didn't stop 4 takers...
Although they weren't so much taking...
As much as they were getting...
Their asses handed to them, that is...
It was scraggly...
Windy...
And ugly...
In other words...
Surf in Oregon.
