Usually when you look at the calendar and see that April is right around the corner, you pretty much know that your days of rideable surf at Rincon are coming to an end, and that anything at all is a gift from the Surf Gods.  Sometimes we get a late-season NWer or a West Swell, but usually it's a short-interval windswell in the waist- to head-high range.  This past Thursday we were blessed with very clean windswell that produced even a few overhead waves.  The air temp was warm even at daybreak, and the sea surface was glassy.  Take a look...



Here's "George" a regular fixture at Rincon, with a slab of wave looming overhead...



Unknown oldtimer.  You are never too old to surf The Cove at Rincon...



Another nice overhead wave...





Nice cutback...



I have created an online gallery of images from this session to celebrate my acquisition of a professional grade telephoto lens, a Canon 400mm f5.6L, which will greatly improve the quality of my pictures from here forward.
