The swell is totally gone but the magnet still picks up any pulses. The beachie might be chest/shoulder high but it’s almost head high here.

However, you trade size for shape. Go get a smaller but critical wave south or a big roller up north. Variety, or sazon completa, is the spice of life.

Turn number two. When the interval kicks up (next swell), you’ll see longer walls marching to the beach. As for now, it’s mushy, playful, and peaky.

There aren’t many better feelings than taking the wave all the way to the beach. Except, enjoy that paddle back out…

Roger Hoch, the beloved CSO of the EMHEC, snagged a couple. Personally, even though the rights are less consistent, I’m looking for those. However, Roger picked off a handful of faster left shoulders.
