I did not like the forecast wind for today, so I slept in a bit. Got to the launch about 7am and the surf was up pretty good for LJ. Wind was down at the launch anyway. Getting out to the Reserve line you could see the line in the water where the North wind was blowing. Still manageable at 5-10mph, I continued out. Then about 9am, the East wind switched on at probably 10-15 with gusts above that. In just a few minutes there were whitecaps moving almost straight West. Took me about 1.25 hours to paddle back to the launch in that crap. Only to find that the surf, at least the set waves, were even bigger. This waves and wind on the weekends is starting to cramp my style and my legs, and my arms and my fingers.
