In the Window; Fall Windswell Hits the Point
Fall Arrives, Feels Good
Throughout the day today the predicted NW windswell has been filling in. Currently the swell model is showing a 6ft. swell coming in out the the North West (295°) -- right in the window for Rincon. I managed to get out this morning for a couple of hours, and caught several nice waves in the waist- to shoulder-high range, a couple from the top of the cove all the way down to the callbox. When I arrived (around 10:00 am) the tide was still pretty high, and there was a little morning sickness. About an hour late it seemed to glass off for a bit, and was pretty fun. Unfortunately I couldn't stay any longer. The prospects for a morning session tomorrow are looking pretty good.

Editor's note: I know at least a few people who would say that surfing is better than sex!
Not Rincon, but another cool video from the 60's...
