Real work is cutting a sunny day short.

December 26th, HB Surf Report

Merry Christmas. Woke up to 5-10 MPH on-shores this morning, cold dreary and wet everywhere. Hit a rode block while trying to get my morning joe, leaving me walking about for half an hour before making it onto the beach. By the time the camera got set up the winds were variable offshore to calm, and the sun was shining just a bit. The local boys had an eye on conditions and within the twenty minutes of filming i had done, about ten to fifteen people entered the water on either side of the pier. It is 10:15 now and the HB smokestack is slowly spindling upwards, without a lick of drag on its billowy cylinder. Conditions have improved since this morning


There is still lots of trash down on the beach, but the tide and winds are looking like they might make for a decent beach day. Make sure you pick up a few pieces of plastic if you make it today, every little bit helps.

Christmas Eve, 2010

Have a great Christmas, no report tomorrow.

What a beautiful day after the rain. The sky was enormous and colorful, the waves were clean and head high, and the tractor was fetching logs from the shoreline.






Its been quite a few days since the last post. With the days of rain, internet trouble, bus rides to work, and the holidays, I have been slacking off on the surf report. I have a lot of plans - regarding editing, film quality, "production", and timing - I hope to completely reformat the website soon as well, in order to provide better usability for people checking the site. This is a sort of dry run while g work out all the kinks and get the ball rolling, with the ultimate goal of expanding the site and the follower-base. I am also upgrading my internet soon because i need to get the posts online as early as possible, and they are currently taking three to four hours to upload.

To the multitude of fans I have out there (...wow), thank you for reading, and please continue your support. I know there are a total of two of you, but you will be able to say you have been there from the beginning. This will all be set in-line after New Years and there will be surf reports everyday.

Waves have defnitely bulked up over the last few days and this morning we found chest to overhead high waves, and barreling. The South Side was packed as usual, but the left going into the pier was working wonders and in the ten minutes of footage I saw two complete cover-ups, one super deep. I wish I had a better camera, with that and the low light from the thick fog you cant see too much definition. Hopefully I'll be able to improve on the quality soon. Beach temps are mild, not too cold, but with that eerie feeling that fog brings. Beach is lightly crowded, especially on the North Side. The rising tide throughout the morning might whack out the waves, but at least we have enough swell to work through the deeper waters. Have a good one, see you tomorrow.

Waves definitely picked up today, lots of kookiness out in the water.



I also wanted to let anyone who receives emails know that I will no longer send those automatic emails every time I post; it should be an everyday thing and I don't want to impose on anyone. I will be implementing some kind of an email subscription option soon, in case you would still like direct email links.

I bet the water was cold this morning, but the sun came out and the swell came up. Looked like a lot of fun out there, except the tidal swamp-thing was on it. Go have a surf, watch out for trash and keep your mouth closed.
