Another morning with crappy surf in Santa Monica
Published in
Jan 23, 2021
Location: Bay Street, Santa Monica, CA
Time: Morning ( 6:30–7:45 am-ish)
Conditions: Jumbled 1–3' surf, medium-high falling tide, calm or light offshore winds
Equipment: 8' Almond R-Series Joy
Company: None
The surf in Santa Monica this morning pretty much matched my low expectations — walled up and completely closed out. There was a weird backwash as well that caused the waves to almost implode on themselves as they hit the shallows. Barely could catch anything worthwhile.
