Saturday 6:45am DP WFL: There is still waves! It’s not huge, take a log and a fat fish and have some more fun. Rafa delivers!! Best groundswell spots look knee to thigh occ waist high at dawn, 036 is 5ft@10 SW inside 98 is 3@10 offshore winds, go surf! …Acc the forecast tomorrow there will be smaller swell, like a 1ft log swell but check it just in case and keep an eye on the offshore buoys to see if the swell is trending down. Also the best sand bars that wedge the 1ft swell will have plus peaks for sure. Thanks for the comments!! Please more!!

Friday 7am Weather Headlines: Rafael, waves and no destruction for WFL(full Friday update below).

So stoked on this new Rip Curl edit. 3 of my favorite surfers having fun and ripping! To see Tom Curren at 60 still getting parts in a major surf movie and he looks great is inspiring!! Throw in the 80’s vibe and killer soundtrack featuring the Divinyls and the Church and I’m hooked! Lazer Breathing Dragons is an instant classic and so cool! Steph kills it in this film!

Friday WFL 7am Still looking fun on the cams down south. Best south facers look to have clean swell this am in the 2-3ft range, slow fade is forecast today with knee high swell tomorrow but keep an eye on it in case it pulses over the weekend… GM waves looked so fun yesterday- Jersey?! Big brown tubes from what I saw down south… Today is a bit smaller but there is still surf esp at south facers. Good news: Rafa is strong!! He’s chugging due west at 9 and should throw back a small line thru the weekend. Did you ever say to your buddy(I know I did) ‘What if a hurricane got stuck in the gulf and just stayed there?’ Well,that is what is looking to happen. No hype but a small line is possible for quite a few days. Keep an eye on the wave model for pulses. I have no idea. I could be like ‘yeah pulse and it’s small and weak or no it’s gonna be small and weak and best south facer has chest high barrels so hard to tell the timing of it. Do this: Go surf and when you do take a log or mid for tiny swell but keep your shorty around too, just in case. Glad you got got surf. If you are 100% positive you got sick from surfing the gulf let us know so we can warn others, otw if your great let us know, come in and claim it!! Back with a better look at today and tomorrow.

Heavy Waves in PR surf story: Saturday my new son-in-law, Trent messaged me and asked me if I wanted to surf an outer reef early Sunday morning. We’re pretty much guaranteed to go out there and be able to surf great waves by ourselves. The swell had been pumping and I was hoping it would drop because it gets crazy out there if there’s too much wave action or wind or current… Sunday morning arrives and it looks good, head high range but it’s so far out it’s hard to tell exactly… It’s not closing out. It’s peeling into the channel but it is on the threshold of being too big. Surfline is saying that it’s going to pulse again but we paddle out. I didn’t say anything but I’m nervous and it’s a little out of my comfort zone just being out in the middle of the ocean with that much swell(this is the same storm front that gave you guys crazy surf last Thursday). Out there it’s like Monster Hole but maybe even farther and we get out there and there’s current and wind and the waves are huge, 6 foot easy. All of a sudden the horizon gets dark and a massive wave comes in like I’m talking a Tres Palmas type wave, 8 foot and I’m going to get smoked. I’m in the wrong spot and the last thing I see before I try to duck dive is Trent suspended at the top of this 8 foot wave, ducking through it! So glad he made it but I’m toast… So I death grip my board and I’m just getting tossed and thrown and over the falls and fortunately I did not lose holding onto my board because I did not want a trip to the bottom. That reef is dark and spooky. It was hilarious- just heavy, windy, big waves, gnarly conditions, black diamond, everything… The current, it was coming out of the channel and taking us off the peak. It was super hard to line up but we did it. It was an experience! We did it… I caught a few waves I was not really able to enjoy, LOL and Trent got some long rights which is why we went out there… Getting in was no easier. It was like paddling against Haulover Inlet, LOL… But after 15 minutes I made it to shore. I look out and Trent is a speck a quarter mile offshore and my wild brain is just praying a bunch of huge sets don’t get him. Finally he gets a left and comes in, game over… Thanks God, what awesome power you have!!! Paddling out at Domes is about 1 million times easier.
