The south swell is coming! The south swell is coming!! WARNING: This swell may be small at the moment but is LONG period with HIGH consistency. Things can change fast out there, especially around the tide swing so know your limits. Bolinas is probably the best bet today as the little reef 'the patch' will work it on most tides with a period this long. See video below if you need convincing.

REPORT: wind is light offshore at 7:00 when I checked it. Sun will be out shortly and the tide is too damn high. This swell is still small but at a 20 sec period but really consistent right now and will be building in size throughout the day. Any southward facing reefs you know of will probably be a good bet for today as most sand bars probably haven't recovered from the beatings they've taken this past month. If you're unsure where to go grab your longboard (seriously 7ft + don't fuck around with a fish) and go out to the patch at bolinas. Don't believe me? I wen't out there on the Marie swell and got some of the longest waves of my life; check out the vid below.
