W WIND 10 TO 15 KT. WIND WAVES 2 FT. W SWELL 12 FT AT 12 SECONDS.

There are certain waves...

You can ride on certain boards...

When during certain moments...

There's a certain feeling...

Of Threading Needles.

Local Report:

In the 100 or so miles I drove on the Oregon coast today I saw one person in the water with surfboard... They were not surfing... Messy but sunny.

Speaking of sowing tools. November 2000 (maybe '01 but definately a November), one of the best surfs of my life was at a break named after a sharp threading appliance. Dry hair paddle out, screaming 5' to 6' rights. It worked like a machine-like-pointbreak for about two hours and then the tide dropped and it started to shut down. I've probably told you this before though...; 8:55 AM
