Evening Session - 8/26/2020

I came home from work and took a nap - long enough to get from tired to groggy, but I woke up with enough time to get a session in.  Marlon and I hit WPB with an hour of light left.  The sun is definitely heading south as the summer is drawing to a close (still a month or so before the equinox).  The swell was belly to chest high.  The tide was low - maybe 0.6' - so I brought the TJ Everyday.  I checked the tide charts earlier today - weird because the moon is a waxing gibbous so you think there would be two smaller peaks, but it seemed like there was only a single very large peak.  More like a full moon tide.  The wind was there, but it wasn't strong enough to mess with the texture too much - and definitely not strong enough to drive a wing (which is a good thing because I didn't bring one, or the board to use it with).


I caught a handful of really long waves.  Marlon was catching a bunch also.  The crowd was pretty dense - seems like everyone was getting their last waves before the "stay at home" order goes into effect (tonight at midnight).


Back on the beach, there was a monk seal hanging out.  It definitely knows it has free reign of the place.  Seems like every time I surf, I jump back to the foils but switch it all up - if this holds true (why wouldn't it - I control it), I'll be using the Go Foil again....
