Looks like a good day to miss it...
Holiday weekend disappointment...
For many, no doubt about it...
Thought a post of the Epicenter...
Was in order due to change in my world...
After a 5 year work assignment...
On the central then north coast...
I am looking at 3 years of working...
In the surfing hotbed of Salem, OR...
Capital!

Blogcation

NW WIND 10 KT. WIND WAVES 1 FOOT. NW SWELL 10 FT AT 13 SECONDS.
You may have noticed, or not...
That I have not posted in a bit...
I've been on a bit of a Blogcation...
Since I had to use up all my vacation...
Because it's a "Use it or Lose it" deal...
And I have been away from the 'puter...
For better or worse, but...
Gaz said to update my blog...
And I had to agree...
So I posted a shot of his homebreak...
The Epicenter, Brohampton, SooLooVille...
As you see, finally a solid swell...
Although a bit overpowering I hear...
I got out tonight a bit further north...
A certain infamous left was starting to fire...
Although tales of bumps, whale slaps & headless seals...
Are pretty much de riguer up here...
Necessary according to etiquette...
The headless bloated sea lion laying on the beach...
As I walked past it to the rip outside...
Seemed to confirm some of the tales...
And served as a wordless warning...
To keep your eyes peeled...
A second carcass floating in the lineup...
Briefly, thankfully, added some weight...
Then the 3 head and a 1/2 over waves...
Caught in an hour and a half...
Seemed enough luck to push near dark...
Especially after the 30+ waves last night...
In the same time frame...
Although barely waist high...
For the most part...
Looks like size is here for the week...
Hopefully get another splash tomorrow...
Then it's the final section...
Of Blogcation 2009...
Headed to Waldo Lake for 3 days...
There, happy now Gaz?

A Year Ago

2 comments Posted by Wave Farmer at 8:55 PM


W WIND 10 TO 15 KT. WIND WAVES 2 FT. NW SWELL 6 FT AT 8 SECONDS...SHIFTING TO THE SW 5 FT AT 16 SECONDS.

It was a year ago today...

That Cole Ortega's arm was severed...

By a prop of a Pacific City dory...

By all accounts Cole is doing well...

Hucking big air in pipes at Bachelor...

The fleet seems far more aware...

Although the surfers are still largely clueless...

I don't mean that in any nasty way...

Other than it seems to be true...

Clearly the locals and able surfers...

Seem to respect the dorys, the ocean & even each other...

But a handful continue to be oblivious...

Not moving out of the way when horns blast...

Dropping in blatantly on waves already taken...

I'm glad Cole's doing good...

It's a miracle in many ways...

Hopefully the lesson won't be utterly lost with time.

Things That Make You Feel Good

5 comments Posted by Wave Farmer at 7:54 PM


NW WIND 15 TO 20 KT WITH GUSTS TO 25 KT. WIND WAVES 4 FT. W SWELL 8 FT AT 9 SECONDS.
There were quite a few things today...
Free pass to surf on the weekend...
Decent uncrowded surf at the Epicenter...
Coining the saying that...
If you take the enter out of Epicenter...
You get Epic...
Drinking cold beers after surf with Sooloo...
Even though he ganked the skeg on the Dano I loaned him...
Getting home to a tasty dinner...
That I didn't even get asked to to do dishes after...
And then a Father's Day drawing/card...
From my 12 year old daughter...
Pretty good surfer & likeness...
I'm a lucky Dad today...
Hope you other Padres got some too!

Beautiful day at the beach.
For some reason...
This shot of the "Epicenter"...
With all 3 boards sticking out of the water...
Reminds me of a Far Side comic...
