Though it was looking like I wasn't going to get at all this weekend because of work and family stuff, I  did manage to get out late (about 6:00 pm) on Sunday at Nantasket. No one from "the crew" was available, so I was out all alone again. But, there were 5  other surfers out in the water with me.  The conditions were pretty good, mostly chest high sets with plenty of overhead waves thrown in. Air temps in the mid 50's, water temps in the high 40's. My vehicle of the day: my Lopez "Big Wally".

     Sunday's swell was a powerful one, and getting threw the impact zone to get outside took quite a bit of work. I surfed for about an hour and only got 4 waves; 3 intentional "green water" rides, and 1 ride not of my choosing.  The one wave that I was forced into riding was in the overhead rage and was just starting to break behind me and left me with two choices: get mashed by the wave or ride the breaking white water. I chose to ride, and I was able to pull ahead of the wall of white water and ride it to shore. Not a glamorous ride, but fun.

   


          There's supposed to be swell most of this week and into the weekend. Ideally, I'd like to get out one day before work this week and early on Saturday (work stuff going on in the afternoon) at Nantasket. We'll see what happens. Pray for surf! Until next time, Aloha.
