Dominical Daily Surf Report – August 2, 2011

High tide going low, in this case going nowhere. Small, junky surf, mild cloudy weather, no crowds, no excitement to start the day. The day cleared somewhat which helped a little but wave size dropped as the tide rolled out and then the south wind gained strength and the lineup grew squalid and junkier still until everything finally turned around and began to improve with the returning tide so that by early afternoon it was still junk city out there but it was at least a little bigger and a little more worth the paddle out. The odd set contained a nice wave or two. Four or five footers with a chunky shoulder to work on now and then. Another pale but subtle and pretty sunset ended a long day of nowhere beach conditions which at least didn’t disappoint a big anxious crowd. It was a small, unexpectant crowd that was left hoping for a better day tomorrow. ~Steve at www.jazzysriverhouse.com
