Linda Mar was surprisingly good today during the incoming tide... Caught a lot of really fun rides and the swell was only about 4 feet but with power and peeling nicely. The sun even came out! later.....

Brighton Beach, on the south coast of England, is flat... just as it has been for the last 8000 years. South East England is a lonely place when your the only old ex-Florida (1960s) surfer around. What I wouldn't give for a good early Spring day at Fort Pierce inlet. Much less the Shark Pit! Why have I written this? I have to get back to selling software.

I'M AN ITALIAN SURFER AND TODAY THERE'S A GOOD SWELL IN THE BAY OF PORTONOVO IN THE CENTRE OF ITALY IN THE EAST COAST. THE SPOT IS GOOD AND A SURFER CAN FIND WONDERFUL WAVES OF 3 OR 4 FEET.

nice and small @3:30 pm 7/14/96--at Kronkite--learned how/why I'd better bail when I catch one a little late--tougher than Stinson, where it doesn't seem to matter too much if you're late--

OK--you know I'm a novice!

Went to stinson/bolinas today and it was rideable, but shifty peaks with bumpy faces, due in part to the wind, made it sort of below average, but it was much better than mowing the lawn. Got in about a four hour session anyway.....

I was out surfing the outer banks today and the waves were really good. Maybe we will get some of the tropical storms waves.

Went to santa cruz july 4th and 5th.. rode some fun little waves in the 3 to 4ft range but it looks like the swell is starting to die off again. Everbody was still talking about how great the surf was there july 1st . Wish I could have been there it did look like it was going off. Going up north tommorow to try stinson or bolinas...hope its not close outs.

Ocean Beach in SF was 3-5 in the face with some nice workable peaks. Some waves were standing up nicely on the outgoing tide at VFW's. Hot as blazes to boot... Hope it continues.
