Summer in Winter Day#5 2026

Surf Day 5 of the year was pretty much epic. Summer style weather allowing Jason and I to paddle out thru the beautiful blue green glass in trunks. Maybe 20 surfers out at our spot and that whittled down to about 5 😁 pretty quick. Big waves came thru in sets about 10-15 minutes apart. Giving the old guy, a little breathing room. The occasional Bigger outside set wave or 3 would slam thru and clean up the water surface even more. While I only got a couple,they were good steep drops and I was able to make a few nice turns in the glassy face. Jason on the other hand got many more and rode them well. I was very proud of my sons surfing today. We both hiked up the beautiful flowered purple, yellow and green cliff to exit such a wonderful winters day. A beautiful days for us.

Summer’s over on Day 3 of surfing 2026?

My son Jason made the Call to check the surf at high noon based on the tides. Took a peek at the waves lined up in the glassy, ultra clear, blue green water. Clear blue sky, warm 70• air, zero wind and only 2 surfers out at our beloved TerraMar. That’s a GO! Paddled out in trunks in mid-January to what was like a big, beautiful aquarium. Super clear, loaded with fish and reef grass swaying in the swell below. We could pick and choose any waves because there was no one out with us, at least for the first hour. Wave after glassy faced wave rolled thru for us and we had a blast! Jason caught maybe 10-12 or so, and half those were keepers. I had some good ones too, but it was his day for sure. Often that scenario is more fun, if you dig! Just as we exited, the whole scene changed with a cool fog bank rushing in. It was a great day! Summer in the middle of January. I love it ❤️

Day 2 of many, many more to come in 2026

Yesterday was day 2 of surfing ‘26’ We got there at 945 and rhe conditions were epic again with a bigger glass wave on tap. We both had our spring suits on and paddled out to awesomeness. I got a keeper pretty fast and rode it in immediately, pulled off the wetsuit and went back out in the trunks where the old guy caught a whole lot of waves on this beautiful mid January day. I’m gettin’ the good stuff and loving it❤️

Sometimes it happens in the nick of time

My son said hey let’s go get the first one of 2026. Zero wind, super glass, clear 63• water, 70• air, W~A~V~E~S.!!!! Wow, it sometimes comes when we need it most. Thanks Father, Mother Ocean, and Jason! Thanks to Laurie, who loving lets me slip into this, even though i can’t bring her. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Surf on…
