CA Locoism in OR
Tauras
exploring new spots mostly surfsailing the spring winds but checked out a
rather famous left point break in N central OR. Just as we pulled up we saw
an old California friend who transplanted there about a dozen years ago park
ahead of us in the typical OR rusted out station wagon, suited up quick then
jump off the cobble stones and dodged the 4-6' waves out to the channel. We
decided to watch as skies looked like rain/wind any minute. Sure enough the
rain started in about 5 but didn't affect shape just our spirits which
tended towards mischief so we waxed our buddies windows with anti CA slogans
and put rocks in his hubcaps and left. We still laugh about it.
Huge WNW gswell developing for Friday AM delivery, 22+ sec at 15-18'+ could
go larger and could be the best gswell of the season. best size and best N
of Pt. Conception into OR, looking to be offshore viento for the show S of
sanfran, enjoy!

The point locals are ruthless. I heard they put a few dead salmon into
the walls of this one guy's brand spanking new house because he made
mention of why he had moved to that stretch of Oregon. I am sure your
buddy was fairly unfazed by the wax and rocks. Either that or he became
extra cautious in mentioning where he surfed.

Schweet! Nice story as well. Stables/Pipes today,
from about noon to midafternoon was a lot of fun,
well overhead to overhead and a half on the sets and
building. A kayak contest out towards the rivermouth
but I surfed with the yakkers and had no problems.
More detailed report later...

deepening today in C. Pacific. Will start 280 then drift to290 into Friday.
Still looking offshorish S of conception but some troughiness N of Bay Area
as our current settling upper H will drift E out of the basin. Our current
WNW gswell just had too much NW windbump, but it did break up the walls.
Enjoy the Sine!
