Postcard from Cali
Hello Friends,
Who says California’s always crowded. Only two folks out on a sunny, glassy weekday afternoon in Santa Barbara. A fun looking, but somewhat sporadic little swell was delivering waist to chest high faces for the two lucky pups in the 14-degree water (so there is that!).
From the look of the cams, Sydney continues to look rather micro. The next couple of days could be more or less the same, but at least one of the models is showing a brief 12-ish second 1-1.5 metre straight south pulse for Friday. Might be a plan to check your fave north corner because the NE wind’ll be doing its thing.
Another couple days of travel coming up for me, but it will be near the coast, so I’ll see if I can grab a snap or two…
Go well!
