It figures I had to wait until the last week of summer to get some fun waves. I didn't snap many photos, but I got about 30 rides between last night and today on the east swell. Surf arrived on Monday afternoon and built into Tuesday morning. The broken up wind blown waves of Monday evening were actually more fun to ride than the glassy waves the following morning.
