Once again I took my Junod out with its new fin, but still no love from the waves. They had size, but no umph. Even the best looking waves refused to pitch over and lumped out just when it seemed like they were ready to ride. What made it even more tough was that the swell was only breaking in one specific spot south of the pier. Usually it breaks every 100 yards or so. But today just one spot, and so everyone packed tightly into the hot zone. We all scraped for the bumps that came our way, but no one caught much. And when we did catch waves, they petered out pretty quick. One nice set came through in the two hours I was out. I was lucky enough to be one of the few in the right position. But over all it was pretty disappointing. But at least I am lucky enough to paddle out.
