SURF PICS FROM JULY

Thursday, July 2

Spyglass | Dawn Patrol | Knee High | Glassy

Friday, July 5

Spyglass | Late Afternoon | Knee-Chest | First signs of Beryl Gap Swell

Saturday, July 6

Spyglass | Dawn Patrol | Thigh+ | Warpy Groundswell

At first the Gap swell from Beryl was masked by super high tide, which in combo with long period swell sent water way past the normal water line.

Navigating doubleups was essential at beach breaks on the high tide.

The second sandbar began to show signs of larger waves.

Park | AM | Waist-Chest | Offshore Groundswell

Though still small, the long period, high tide, and dredge-ledge combined to produce quite a bit of refraction. This particular bump of backwash sent TSV’s longboard into a somersault. Bet the beach view of this wipeout was quite humorous.

Vinny looked for head dips while we waited for the size to fill in.

Park | Afternoon | Waist-Chest | Offshore Groundswell

Finn Dennis turned knee shorebreak into something workable with a bit of help from the extra push of the longer period gap swell.

What a difference 2 hours makes. The image on the left was captured at 12:32, and the image on the right was captured at 2:32. The change in the sun’s angle transformed the water from shade of stunning beauty to an almost swimming-pool hue. The waves were fun (if inconsistent), but the water color was something else.
