The weather report did not look too favorable for
Sunday. By 11am, call of the wind was reporting
19 mph from NW. I decided to make the drive - just
in case - and if nothing else, I would enjoy one of
the most beautiful drives on earth. Around half moon
bay I saw a whole pod of whales frolicking in the aqua
clean waters of the pacific. They were doing the jump
out of the water thing, it was quite spectacular; I stopped to
watch for about 15 minutes. Towards the end of their session
the wind started to lap at my face, and I was quite optimistic.

The rest of the drive was pretty mellow, with no signs of wind until
I got close to waddell. All of a sudden the water was dotted with
beautiful white caps. When I finally made it to the parking lot,
I saw about 20 people having a blast.

Went out on 5.2/8'8"(207#) and was nicely powered the entire time.
The waves were pretty large, with occasional logo to mast high
sets coming through. The timing of the waves was prefect, so getting
out was not too tough. This was one of my best days at waddell; I
was able to get out easy, ride the waves well, jump high and land.

Can anyone give any insight into how the tides effect the break at
Waddell? Yesterday the tide seemed to be very low, which made for
very nice waves.
