Just South of Oregon Inlet

Today south winds pushed into the upper teens with gusts to the mid 20 mph range. It was a little light, especially on the inside, but the waves were small making it easy to slog out. A decent south swell was on tap, and the set waves ranged in the waist to occasional chest high range. Typical mid-summer type setup, except for the icy 48 degree water temp. All in all though, there were a few fun wave hits, and two FWD loop splats for me on the outside when the occasional gust filled the sail producing a solid powered ride. Billy, Caleb, Andy, Stewart, and I enjoyed the slog fest in the 70 degree air. Sail sizes ranged in the low 5.0m range. I have over 60 minutes of video to work though from today. Stay tuned for release later this week.
